Do I Need to Learn to Read Music to Play Guitar?

Do I need to learn to read music to play guitar?

You do not need to learn to read standard music notation (i.e. dots on the staff, like piano music). I can teach you if you really want to learn to, but you'll need to tell me.

You will have to learn the notes on the guitar, and the symbols for the various chords.

This isn't that difficult when broken down into stages and combined with other exercises.
