Will I need to pay for a tutor for guitar or can I learn with books/software?

I have a radio!
I have basic DJ skills and some decks to rub my fingertips over and pretend that I'm cool on.
Be my bands groupie, go on!
I'm in Surrey so if anyone ever needs a roadie/band member/groupie (ok thats desperate) let me know!

Also it'd be helpful to learn all the theory side of stuff. Like all the notes and scales and things. That way when you and your band write songs you'll know what key they're in and be able to just whack out a lead solo/bridge section in quick time rather than fumbling about trying to found notes that fit.

Yes. Get a tutor for a bit to teach you the basics, how to hold a plectrum, how to fret the strings on the finger board ect.

I'm not in a band but would love to be - if anyone needs a cracking guitarist/OK vocalist let me know!
As for guitars and Amps, you're gonna be looking at the budget range of stuff obviously if these are your first bits of equipment. I'd say spending just over £200 will get you a decent guitar that, whilst basic, isn't gonna bust on you like some sub-£200 ones.
As for amps, one word - MARSHALL. Marshall truly are the Gods of amplifiers and spending around £80-100 will get you a reasonably good amp. Bear in mind though that it will only be a practise amp, around 10-15W without any fancy effects. If you're going to start a band and eventually start gigging, then you'll need to be buying at least an 80W Valve Amp or a 250W valve that...isn't...Valvestate...(sorry can't remember the name) and these performance amps will set you back around £300.
Hope that helps when concerning buying your equipment!
