My friend did with his acoustical guitar, so yes you should be able to.
You can learn from the internet alone, yes. I taught myself everything I know, just using a few different websites. I would advise you though to get a lesson or two when you start out, so that you can understand proper technique. I jam with my friends sometimes, and one of them is actually a guitar teacher. He noticed I have abysmal technique, even though I can play just fine. That’s because I never got the basics down correctly from a good guitar player. If I want to advance much further as a guitar player, I’ll probably have to re-learn what I taught myself. It could have been prevented if I’d taken a lesson or two before diving into it.
Any guitar can work as a beginners guitar, you just typically want something with a slightly wider fretboard and cheaper in design.
Yes you can. It just takes practice.
Yes you can get free online lessons. I am self taught with the help of lessons I found off of the internet. Also, almost any guitar would be a good beginners guitar. Go to this link –

Here are 2 reviews on the guitar. Read the second one especially. The person said that it’s a great guitar for beginners and they would also recommend it to pros. Hope this information helps!
Can you learn how to play guitar on your own, just from the internet?
Yes. Doesn’t mean you’ll do it right, though. As the other answer suggested, learning on your own means you *will* have bad habits and incorrect technique. I know, because that’s how it happened with me…. I never had enough money to afford a teacher, so I just taught myself. Worked out pretty well, for the most part, but it wasn’t until years had passed that I began to realize that there were problems with my technique, problems that if I would’ve had a teacher that would have never shown up.
As a result, I did have to "unlearn" how to play and figure out how to do it correctly. My speed, coordination, and enjoyment did increase once I began ironing out my issues, but if I would’ve had good instruction from the start I would be a lot better by now.
My suggestion is to either get a teacher to learn the basics (how to hold your hand, how to fret a note, how to play a chord cleanly, how to run scales) at the very least, or if you are in the same place that I was when I started out, at least find the best guitar player you can jam with and study them like a hawk, ask them questions, etc.
You should have no issues with that guitar, its perfectly fine for a beginner. I *strongly* urge you to get it properly setup and intonated, though! This is something I never really understood for years, but a proper setup and intonation means that your guitar will play better, will stay in tune better, and will sound in tune with itself when you play higher up the fretboard.
Research your butt off – no teacher means you need to absorb a lot of information to make up for it! Youtube is an excellent resource that I didn’t have when I was starting out – so spend hours studying how they do it, it should help you out greatly!
