You absolutely have to get a lesson. You can't see yourself so someone has to put eyes on you and then give you feedback. You might think your arms, legs, back are doing what someone told you, but they probably won't be. Get started right, with the basics, then you will be able to improve and build on a correct foundation. If you develop some wrong fundamentals, you might be able to compensate and get a reasonable result,ie: score, but you will be limited because of it.
