Well, I can tell you some of the things I used to do to find other guitarist and musician when I was in school!. (it was a looooong time ago, mind you)

Some of the things I used to do were:

During school dances(with live bands) I'd usually hang around the stage and watch how the band played, and sometimes I'd see another person doing the same thing and we'd get to talking!.!.!.!.!.and presto!
Wow!.!.you play bass!? cool I play guitar! that kind of stuff!.

Or just talking with other people from classes you'd find out that they played guitar or drums or whatever!.

See if you can find a church that has folk masses!. When I was very young I played guitar with 10 or 15 others at the folk mass at our church!. I think that there are still churches that have folk masses!. I know of one or two in my area that do!.!.!.so check that out too!.

The sign the other guy mentioned would be a great idea!.

also most music stores will have a bulletin board you can post musicians wanted notes!. I've done that!. or answered one I saw there!.

I also used to hang out at guitar stores a lot!. trying out different guitars and jamming for a few hours!. Every once in awhile, I'd see someone from school come in and we'd talk!. Or people I didn't know would come up to me and compliment me on my playing and we'd start to chat!.

Just get involved with things musical!. You will eventually meet like minded people!. It is a good idea to take a few lessons, at least, to get a good foundation!. In Summerschool, our schools would have beginner and intermediate guitar classes!. I'd take those and meet friends through there!.
Check your city for community classes!. I found classes that way as well!.

Wherever there is music, you will find musicians!

Then all it takes is a lot of practice and dedication!. AND some else to play with! Nothing improves musical skill better than playing songs with someone else!.
Don't be shy about it!. The other people who truly want and like to play music will feel just like you do!.
