I taught myself guitar with a "guitar for dummies" book and online tabs and was able to play songs decently within a few months (I'm not sure if it was 2 months or closer to a year...but it happens within a few months).

I've been playing now for a few years and am perfectly content with my skill. Never once had a lesson or tried to learn music theory. If you aren't tone deaf and have even a bit of dexterity, you can teach yourself as long as you stick to it.
