I played very little in highschool and now, 15 years later, I have the urge to go back to it. I've been playing for an hour or so most days for the last month which I know isn't a lot but lets be honest, it's just for my own enjoyment, I have no illusions of being a middle aged rock star.

Anyway I was wondering if people had any advice, good resources, sheet music that isn't garbage?

In my position would you go the self taught route or is it really important to have a tutor? I'm particularly concerned about picking up bad technique and then practicing that, I feel like that was a big part of why I gave up in the first place - fucking up the same things no matter how many times I did them because I learned them wrong.

Thanks all.

Try your local Parks and Rec org, if your city hasn't gutted it. You might be able to get some weekly classes and only spend some $40 by the end.

I'm aus-delenda-est and I don't think we have anything exactly like a Parks and Rec, but we have the WEA (Workers Educational Association) which I'm looking at now and it seems for about $150 you can pick from a number of 4-8 week courses on guitar. Good suggestion, thanks.
