An instructor is always the best way to learn any instrument. However, there’s nothing wrong with self-teaching, and the most important time to have an instructor is in the beginning, to develop a good foundation. Seems like you may have already covered that! I found this page with links to free violin lessons, though I don’t think they get too terribly advanced:

I hope it helps you!

Shouldn’t be too difficult for you, as you already have mastered the basics of music. The violin is much like the guitar – except that it doesn’t have frets – but the main thing is learning where to place your fingers. Unlike keyed instruments, you don’t have any guidelines on the neck of the guitar, so that’s something you simply have to learn by repetition. But it can be done – and I’m sure you’ll have no trouble doing it.

You know, probably not. It’s incredibly difficult to teach yourself the violin; it’s just so much more effective to work with a teacher. See: How to teach yourself the violin http://beststudentviolins.com/PedagogyTech.html#2

that is the most difficult thing to do, because most people rely on the net, and thats not always accurate. i reccomend visiting a community college and see if they have violin instruction classes.

I think you can, if you have the basics down. There are also online videos that might help you. You can find some at http://music-lessons.greatinformation.org . Hope this helps and good luck!

It is possible, but extremely difficult, without an instructor to give you feedback on what you are doing wrong.
