Default Where to start?

Well, ok, I'm just starting, period, ive been playing for about three months now and now ive gotten my own guitar and i want to know where i should go next...
Ive learned basic chords... how to read music and now im learning jazz chords.. i listen to a lot of jazz, i really love it... but i dont know where to go... Really the more i look in this forum i think im just too much of a beginner to do anything... but since im teaching myself i was wondering if you'd give me some help....

A teacher would help you sort out the megabullshit involved in teaching yourself jazz guitar.There is ten times more incorrect information floating around out there than correct info. You would save so much time, especially at your early stage, where you can't tell the good from the bad from the ugly.

You'll find, as we all do, that it's only difficult for the first thirty-odd years, after which things start to get (slightly...) better.
Enjoy...

I think i'll be able to stick to it xD
Thisis the first time i've picked up an instrument because i wanted to, I woke up one morning wanting to learn a little something while my boyfriend was sleeping, so, armed withhis guitar and the internet, I began my journey.
also the store near here had a used copy of the book for like 3$ (but they didnt have a new one) so i bought it :O
