hmm, well I found it really hard to learn without a teacher. I played guitar for 2 years by myself. I got absolutly nowhere, when I was trying to do what your doing. Now I have a great teacher who I can bring the cd in and he'll pretty much show me how to play it, WITHOUT TAB! I find that insanly cool. But anyways If I were you, I would (1)find a teacher (2)Get good (3) make a band.

I have a band now that is pretty much in the making. We all are pretty much new to the musicain world and the bassist doesn't even have a bass, lol. But ya, I would totally recommend getting good before you try and make a band. It just doesn't work when all the band members totally suck, lol.
