Not everyone was born to be a guitarist. Some of us have to work at it, including yours truly.
No matter if you want to learn acoustic guitar or electric guitar, there's something to be said to be engaged with learning the instrument. If you set your mind to it, you should be given all that you need to succeed at the instrument.
The only time to look for a guitar teacher is when you are feeling frustrated with learning. If this is the case, please think of The School of Feedback Guitar. This school was founded on the idea that beginners can learn guitar and make a beautiful hobby out of it, too.
