I would 100% recommend taking lessons. I waited 25 years to start lessons and wish I'd done it much sooner. It's amazing how much you can improve in 6 months. And even professional touring musicians in really big bands still take lessons. It's only theoretically possible to self teach yourself, but practically very hard, especially if you have no musical background. If nothing else it gives you a motivation to practice whatever you've been set the previous 1 or 2 weeks.

I agree, but I'm retired, so to save money I'm learning via Justin Guitar, which is actually pretty awesome :)
