I enjoy taking lessons, my teacher is an awesome Rastafarian guitar player who's just fun to jam with... I just wish I didn't have to pay him for stuff like that, but he's great at helping me with my theory.

I'm self taught, but I believe there are many advantages of having a teacher.
One thing about guitar is that you can never stop learning. Even if you feel confident that you're a pretty good guitar player, there is something out there to learn, a new riff, a new song, a new genre etc. Having teacher is more like having a mentor or guide. They can show you things that you are not aware of, but they can only pass on hints and tricks, and the right way of doing things, they can not pass on talent. In the end all musicians are self-taught by the fact it is up to them to practice, practice, practice. |

I`m self taught (in a sense - although i reffered to books and magazines in my youth)!
I don`t recommend it, i hit the wall after a few years and pretty much gave up improving. It was my sons interest years later that got me going again, and now with the information on the net its SO easy to have the questions you want answered. I would`ve been a whole lot happier if i`d have paid for a few lessons, for someone to teach me to play Johnny B Goode or something, and then expain how that relates to the blues and major scales! Stubborn pride stopped me - idiot i was!
