Learning to play the Guitar

Hey all!

So i've decided i'd like to pick up my guitar again and have another attempt at learning to play. I have a pretty good acoustic guitar so this is what i would be using. I'd like to teach myself and i was wondering which route would be the best to go down, learning to play songs using tabs? Or using a website which can teach me proper chords and simple songs and sorta build from there?

Also if tabs is the best option, could you suggest some good beginner songs to learn?

Thanks a heck of a lot for any help!

I learned by tabs

Do both. I suggest doing it like this; one day work on a song you want to learn by using a tab, then the next spend your practice time learning scales and very basic theory. Should cover all your bases for quite a while. :)

Like the other posters said do both, hereyou can find tabs and online lessons to help you learn almost everything about Electric guitar and acoustic.

Do both really and mess around with it a bit to get new sounds. I've learned a lot songs by either ear, visually, or tabs.
