I really want to learn to play the guitar. I already know how to play the piano and now I want to try the guitar. Will it be possible to learn the guitar by self-study or do you really need someone to teach you?

i my self learning guitar by my self when i was 12 years old, and then i join the band and learning more about guitar melody. just try to memorize the key and get use to move your finger from one key to another key, and you will be a guitarist

Yes! I learn guitar by self study at the age of 12. If you already know how to play the piano and learn the different scales, then you will learn guitar easily and play it excellently.

I also want to learn flute but I think its always better to learn from a teacher because their experience teaches many new thing and Do’s and don’ts . Self learning is also wonderful as we can try new things and so we understand the our capability and our curiosity will be satisfied. I am learning Guitar from my friend, its amazing. Enjoy learning.

Since you know how to play the piano, it wouldn't be hard to play the guitar. You don't need to be taught, just read instructions and have a chord chart and you will learn how to play it soon. I learned to play the guitar by myself back in high school (15 years ago).

It is possible to learn by yourself. You just need the patience and motivation to do it. I should know, I learned by myself.

It is possible to learn by self-study. you can learn by simply watching your friend or even in youtube. learning by self-study is not easy. You need so much patience and your will to learn no matter what happen to your hand. Because if you will start to study, you will feel something in your fingers. Do not worry it's normal, just continue studying your guitar. There are many website where you can get some piece to practice. Good day
