The moment you learn to identify the basic chords, how to get on about fingering and how to find chords, change them on with a sequence " you will know how to play a song. All these tasks can be learned via online tutorials without much hassle or dazzle but if you have a neighbor or a friend whos good at playing guitar, some personalized lessons wouldnt hurt.
