I took lessons for a little while when I was 16. Definitely helped speed up the process. Learned enough theory (i.e. Pentatonic scales) to play most of the stuff I was interested in back then. Would love to take more lessons and really get dialed in on modes and more exotic scales but I can do alright improving on most rock songs. Could not fake my way through Jazz though.
