There are many marvelous resources online that did not exist when I was learning how to play. However, a little caution is in order.
One can hear a plethora of performances by world-class players and ensembles online. Be sure you are listening to truly great examples. See Steal Them Blind.
There are many great lessons and masterclasses available. There are some not-so-great ones. Remember, All Roads Do Not Lead to Rome and Pedagogy is Not Theology.
There are lots of products – and instruments – for sale online. Some are worthwhile – some are bargains – and . . . some are scams! If it is an amount of money you can't afford to gamble with, something like Escrow.com might be worth considering.
See About Equipment and Slide Lube, Valve Oil, Etc.
The advice of a teacher can be invaluable in separating the wheat from the chaff.
