Now days lessons are very expensive, but if you really want to learn, you find a way to do it. You don't have to start with a lesson 3 times a week. Start with one once or twice a month.
Work on your accurracy and timing (use a metrodome). Don't worry about speed right now. The speed will come as you get better. When you get something down good, add a new chord or lick or song, etc.
Good luck! :)
