Maybe, if you don't mind that it will take a lot longer, involve a lot of frustration, and you will most likely develop poor technique which will limit your abilities in the long run, and even possibly cause long term damage to your wrist and/or elbow.

Here are seven reasons I think you should hire a guitar teacher:

Repertoire

A good guitar teacher will know the best songs and exercises that will help you develop your skills and knowledge. He or she can direct you to songs that are appropriate for your skill level -- not too hard so you don't get frustrated, and not too easy so that there's a challenge and you're learning new things.

Feedback

A teacher can (kindly) point out when you're making mistakes. People who learn on their own often don't know when they're playing a song incorrectly. It happens quite often and you can find many videos on YouTube of people playing songs incorrectly without realizing it.
