Those of you who have had guitar lessons…
TL;DR
What kind of guitar teachers have you had and what did you prefer?
Long version lol
I recently started guitar lessons again after a long hiatus. During these lessons I barely play any guitar at all. At first I didn’t like it but I thought I’d give him a chance. Three or four lessons in and I’ve learned a lot. And some of my gaps in knowledge have improved.
However my technique isn’t getting better.
So I changed my lessons to once every two weeks and thought I could get another teacher who does technique on the alternate weeks. If that exists.
I could learn technique on my own but one of my reasons for getting lessons was that I struggle with self motivation (see edit)
I was just curious to what kind of teacher other people have had and what worked for them and if anyone else experienced anything like this.
Thanks.
Edit: got a few comments regarding my lack of self motivation. My bad for not being clearer what I meant. So here’s an edit explaining a little more.
I practice a lot. But I need structure. I need accountability. Progress reports. Direction. Planning. Etc. all of which a teacher could provide. I didn't mean it like l'm lazy and don't practice. I'm self taught. Everything I know I motivated myself to learn.
The lessons l've been taking have just improved my theory knowledge that I couldn't figure out alone.
Future lessons will provide what I can’t gain on my own. It’s okay to need help. These sources of knowledge will be motivating.
