I pretty much taught myself, but I don't play anything fancy. I know how to put my chords together, but am useless when it comes to lead guitar.

I usually just go over to ULTIMATE GUITAR TABS ARCHIVE | 300,000+ Guitar Tabs, Bass Tabs, Chords and Guitar Pro Tabs! find a song and then learn it. All the chords are annotated, so you just need to put the time in and work on your fluency. It took me a month or so before I made any real progress, but then it all just seemed to fit into place. Playing guitar is like riding a bike, once you have the basics you never forget how to do it.
