Yep. If it wasn't for her, you wouldn't exist...

As far as your question, there are plenty of resources on the net. I've been playing for 16 years and never had any real lessons. I started playing guitar before the internet was really around and I mostly learned from tablature in Guitar World magazines. You can learn technique by learning your favorite bands songs and learn theory by researching on this site and other sites on the net. I dove right in and started learning guitar by learning Van Halen songs. Probably not the best way to do it, but my technique improved very quickly that way.
