You need to address this first because if you're going to try teaching yourself any instrument you will only get what you put into it. If you can't be bothered to pick it up and practice you're never going to develop into anything worthwhile.

Learning the most basic functions and theory of the instrument isn't that hard, but unless you practice those elements it's never going to matter. I used to buy every copy of any guitar magazine that had tablature in it back in the 90s. Whether I knew the song or not it didn't matter, I'd sit there and play through the tab just to learn new licks or to see how different parts were put together.

Getting a teacher also won't change the fact that the ability to play the instrument is still entirely your responsibility and directly related to how much you choose to play it.
