is apparently much easier if you actually play with someone else.
I've been messing around with it for a little over a year and Friday night a friend of mine from out of town came over. He's a pretty good player ( compared to my pitiful ass, he might as well been Clapton in my living room)
Our musical tastes differ wildly in some areas ( he likes Nickleback and hates Foo Fighters, while I violently disagree), but he showed me alot in couple of hours and really I pregressed more in that time than all of the last year.
I had been getting a little frustrated and this made me wanna keep going

Seriously though, that's true for a lot of things, having somebody else to imitate makes learning easier and more fun for most people, especially compared to sitting and staring at a book.
Here's an excellent site (free but you can donate if you desire) that I stumbled upon that has videos to help you learn everything from the very basics to advanced stuff, and has a selection of very simple songs for the beginner too - justinguitar.com.He's got over 100 videos on the site that are real helpful.
Youtube is an awesome learning tool as well. For just about any song you want to learn, if you browse through the covers of that song you'll find a couple videos that present it in a way that will help you learn. I used to just learn from the tabs, but when I started watching people cover the songs on youtube along with the tabs, it became so much easier.
I've been playing for about 30 years, but I'm not really any better now than I was 2 years after I started. I just play for fun, I haven't spent the time to learn lead, but I just crunch out my simple bar chords and play old 80's metal tunes and it puts a smile on my face. The key to learning is to not overburden yourself but determine your goals and do whatever keeps it fun instead of "work".
