I want to learn guitar, with out getting lessons, but I don’t know where to start. I don’t want to rely on the internet for lessons. So any tips for a beginner like me? Thanks. 
Check out these three books. The second two are a little more advanced, but still for beginners. I’d just buy the first one if I were you, that’s how I started and it served me very well!
