Can you actually learn how to play guitar from a video and instructional book?

Or is it better to pay for guitar lessons? Or both? I just bought a guitar and really want to learn.

If you start out by teaching yourself with videos and books, you’ll learn some useful stuff like where some notes are and how to play a few chords. What will also almost definitely happen is that your technique will be garbage while you learn, and that can take a long time to fix as old habits die hard. Get some lessons from a good teacher before you do anything, then you can go on to learn from other materials afterward.
