I think it's a little like learning how to play a piano. You can sit down and teach yourself or you can look for help from a teacher. Either way works although I think most people benefit from some guidance.

Myself started from counting to 100 on breathing, then advanced to silence. Guided meditation is quite different, from my experiences. Not the op.
