if you've taken lessons and had a teacher show you the basic chord shapes and scales then you're not self-taught. if you picked up a book / magazine / webpage and figured out those chord shapes and scales on your own then you ARE self-taught. of course someone else has to write those lessons, but that doesn't mean you aren't the one who taught yourself the knowledge within those lessons. otherwise i was taught how to play guitar by billy corgan, john petrucci, kirk hammet, and dimebag darrell...
...and there's no timing/meter or dynamics in tabs? again. you've obviously never read a guitar magazine.

you transcribe music by grabbing the guitar and playing the note that you hear. you pick one set of notes, you play them. then you pick another set of notes, you play them over the previous set, and you get harmony. Yes, when you read a magazine, you are self-taught. When you watch a video of a guy telling you how to play, you're not exactly self-taught, because that's pretty close to a real face-to-face teacher/student experience (although, there is no feedback). Yes, there is no timing/meter in tabs. Official/legit tabs usually come together with sheet music. That's where you get your timing/meter.
