You might want to consider a guitar instruction method that is more portable than a teacher (...perhaps like Guitar Tricks ... ).

Nothing would be weird about how you approach wanting to play guitar. If you want to play, just approach how it feels right. They key is the 'wanting' part. Guitar, or any instrument, is there to play because you enjoy music and want to be able to play music yourself. If within you, there is music you want play, then however you choose to get there is good.

I barely had any lessons and that paths served me for a long time (though I don't recommend it) and others prefer a structure to walk them through step by step. Musicians are not a rubber stamp that all must be done the same way. What works for you?

Under the assumption that you came to ask the question here because you are interested, it's a matterr of how. A face-to-face personal instructor has been how people learned music probably since music was created. So, even if for only a short time, it has benefits.

Also, here at Guitar Tricks, there is a curriculum that is (most importantly) easy and understandable for a beginner. Also, it is portable. meaning that when you go to university, it goes with you.

Also, I believe Guitar Tricks does have a newer service for personalized lessons with intstructors via online.

Some thoughts to consider but the key is first to know that you want to play. Following that, in todays world of technology, you have great options to get you there.
