He lies to keep more girls to himself. Get somewhat good, play in a band, and it WILL get you girls. Ric Ocasek, my friend, Ric Ocasek...

I've been teaching myself since April, and I'm pretty good. I mean, I'm not especially wonderful, I'm still struggling a bit trying to learn "The Dangling Conversation," but I'm getting there. If you have enough motivation to learn and want to be really good, then you don't need a teacher. Buy some books and learn songs you like. I learned it completely on my own terms, and would spend literally hours a day practicing. A lot of people I know taught themselves and they like it better that way. But a teacher is good for motivation if you think you need it.
Also music theory is scary. I made the mistake of trying to overwhelm myself learning about it at first, and then just got confused and frustrated. It's cool and important to know, so wait until you've been able to figure some things out for yourself and have been playing for a few months before you venture into things like that.
Good luck

The thing about music theory for me is that I found it a lot easier to understand it intuitively without actually knowing the underlying concepts. Learning music theory academically is basically learning a really conplex form of math, and while I'm good at math, it always distracts me when writing songs if I am actually thinking about the interplay of chords and notes. I find it easier and more fun to just sort of let songs evolve organically.
