Wait...Because the person doesn't take lessons he can't officially play an instrument? Bullshit..

Alot of people don't take lessons for the instruments they play. And if they can play the instrument decently, then I would say that they can 'Officialy' play the guitar. Don't be a dick and say 'Oh you can't officially play anything unless you pay to learn it!"
