I used both & they help :]
I took 8 lessons this summer so I know some basic stuff. The lessons were getting quite pricey, so I decided to drop them. =(
I am really passionate about learning and I was wondering if anyone has any experience on learning the guitar on their own. Are there any useful websites? Is it possible to learn it on your own? Would I be gaining more from my private lessons with an actual teacher?
Its quiet possible to learn guitar on your own, I haven’t had a lesson in my life, yet I am an avid guitar player. Besides the basics are sometimes the hardest parts to learn, which you have already covered.
Hears a list of some useful site and such…
1. Youtube, it has lots of instructional videos on how to play songs and various techniques for guitar.
2. 911tabs.com, it is a great web site that provides links to the best quality tabs of whatever song you are looking for.
3. GuitarPro or Tuxguitar, both are programs that you can input tabs into and hear the play back. They both include other instruments as well so you can play along with drums and such. Tuxguitar is free!
4. Look up the user rockongoodpeople on youtube, they have tons of great instructional videos on various songs and techniques and styles.

I bought a guitar about 4 years ago along with an instruction video, watched the video once and then gave up. I was digging through a bunch of old stuff and found my guitar, but not the DVD.
My question is, what would be the EASIEST and FASTEST way to learn guitar for someone with no musical experiance at all?
By practicing. I suggest learning tabs first, then sheet music.
Pick a song that you like and sounds easy on the guitar. MY first song was "Good Riddance" by green day.
It’s easy to teach oneself, once you know the basics.
Also, in what order should I learn the guitar? Note, chords, beats, rhythm, tabs, etc? I’m learning from scratch by-the-way. Thanks!
If you are thinking of playing folk or country music it’s probably easiest to start by learning chords and strumming. Also take this approach if you’re not sure what you want to do on guitar. You can play a really easy song reasonably well in a week and can be playing effectively in less than a year.
Some good chords to start with are G, C, D, Am, Em, Am7, D7.
After you can play 5-10 chords, you can start practicing scales.
About 6 months in, it’s time to really focus on getting a steady beat and then playing more interesting rhythms. Playing a steady beat is much harder than it seems so don’t start with that (unless you’re a drummer or something).
If you are inspired to learn guitar because of guitar players you’ve seen, it’s a good idea to watch what they do (hopefully you can get some video of them) and try to do the same things yourself. This is more fun than learning from a book, although you can do that too.
Oh, and I almost forgot: If you want to play guitar well you have to have a strong grip in both hands. Get a foam grip exerciser (made especially for guitarists, under $5) and squeeze it for about 5 minutes a day. This makes more of a difference than the 1 hour of practicing you do.

I tried to learn guitar and seems like alot of people think it’s easy. But i have difficulties playing while singing. 
Is this normal? What should i do to improve? What are the basics a beginner should learn before jumping to the advance of singing and strumming together?
It’s just a matter of practice. You have to learn the chords well enough that you make them and change them automatically while you’re singing. This is why you start with very simple (stupid) 2-chord songs like Skip to my Lou and Ten Little Indians.
Also it’s easier in keys like A or D, so you don’t have to struggle with the dreaded F chord. F isn’t really hard, but it takes some concentration.
Just keep plugging away, you’ll get it. It’s not as hard as it might seem at first, so don’t get discouraged.
So i decided to make a video to help early guitar players learn to play guitar as soon as possible. Here is a VERY basic starting point.

well i dont know a thing really,i just want to try and see if i can learn how to play and if so then improve!but what type of guitar should i start on?and how much?
It depends on what style of guitar you wish to play. Lead guitar, rhythm guitar, bass, classical, blues, flamenco, country, folk, whatever.
If you want to bend the strings and make it scream like a heavy rock star, then an electric is the place to start.
If you want to play rhythm guitar start with a semi-acoustic.
Decide on the style and then decide which guitar you want.
