Any experienced guitar players have advice on how to learn better?

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.

I never liked “this machine kills fascists” on a guitar because it’s not a machine it’s a fucking guitar. It’s an instrument “this guitar kills fascists” or “this instrument kills fascists” is better than a machine.

Hi, I think its used to refer to a guitar, because it is a machine (the tuning pegs are called Machine Heads, like the band name), that is it uses mechanical action (vibration of strings) to achieve a result, same as a piano is a machine. I guess you mean, its not a modern electrical, fossil fuel, or steam related machine, but it is still definately a machine! Whether it kills fascists is another question entirely of course.
