Can i teach myslef to play the electric guitar?

Good choice kid. Good choice. I learned without instruction 25 years ago and no internet. Of course you can. I wish you luck. Just remember the word EVERYDAY. Use the web. It has everything you need. You don't need an instructor nowadays and I don't care what anyone says you don't need one. Learn your chord charts and take it from there. There are a gazillion tutorial sites for learning the art of guitar.
