Just because because you play an instrument does not mean you will be able to play instantly, however, it will be easier to learn!. I recently started to play electric guitar and I am teaching myself!. It didn't take me very long (a few days to a week) to learn how to play really basic pop songs with really basic chord progressions, however now that I am progressing into harder songs, it obviously takes slightly longer!. If you want to be really good, I would recommend lessons, although they are not essential!. A good 'Teach yourself guitar' book is very helpful, as it teaches you where to put your fingers and some basic chords and the notes on the strings!.
