Learning to play guitar through videos and websites online can be great and some people can learn quite a bit on your own, however one on one lessons are really recommended if you want to focus on advancing your guitar playing. Self teaching can lead to bad guitar playing habits that a dedicated teacher can help prevent. Also a guitar teacher can give you the right advice, and planned structured lessons that can help to develop aspects of your playing that need work.
