But I've finally convinced myself to try.

Anyone have any Youtube channels that can help? And websites that explain scales and basic tabs? Any resources are appreciated.
I recommend lessons in addition to web-sites.

How to read tab and lessons:

I was self-taught with tabs for many years, but until I really started learning theory, I did not improve as quickly as I am now. Now, I like to tear a song apart, and understand why certain notes and chords are used. These books are excellent in that regard, for more advanced players:
