I think the best way is online tutorials. You can watch them any time you need and stop if you want at every moment.

This.

the best way is to just practice and learn from mistakes, once you get familiar with all the buttons and whatnot it gets way more fun and you are able to do more creative things. beyond that, online resources are the best. sites like this is what you should go after, but don't give up if it gets to hard. whatever you do, don't pay for classes if you hadn't tried it yourself first.
