You absolutely can. You tube has everything you need for basics. Hands on is always better but don't let it stop you from getting started. You'r not going to master anything but fine for getting your feet wet so to speak.

Search youtube but try and get vids from known pros. Here are some solid sources from some known pros. you'll have to piece meal your training but its better than not doing it. If your not sure the source you found is any good send me a PM.
