The thing is i've grown up surrounded by musicians, i had myself a lot of guitars and play a couple of songs (kind of mediocre tough) but i never get to play good or invent a song…do you guys know a good method.
Getting lessons are the correct answer
By learning tabs you have only learned to play "A" song, not the guitar and then you have to depend on someone else to provide you tabs
Lessons will help you over the long run. You have to stick with it and learn all that boring stuff.
Over the course of years the one whom gets lessons will be miles ahead of the self taught.
Getting lessons are not going to be all about learning a song. It is going to be about learning the stuff songs are made of so that you can teach yourself any song.
As far as cost, look on craigslist. I know a guy who goes to BGSU and teaches guitar from his home and only charges 15 dollars
another who only charges 20 dollars and only does it so he can paid for his studio. Your only getting one lesson a week. You might have to look around for a week or two as most do not post there everyday but do keep looking , you will find one.
To all those who say they don't need lessons. You take the time to think how much better they could be if they had lessons. To those who say jimi hendrix never had lessons , just imagine how much better he could have been if he would have got lessons
Have yourself a look at this guys post. He has been playing 4 1/2 years and now feels like he is behind cause he didn't get lessons.

The point is lessons start out kind of slow but once all the boring stuff is learned, you take off and pass right on by the self taught
