So I Got a Strat Today..
yossarian07:
I personally enjoyed myself more once I quit lessons and started teaching myself (my skills have probably suffered from it but I see no point in learning to play if im not going to enjoy it), but if they're free you might want to see for yourself.
And word of advice to a beginner: It will not get you girls as easily as you would think.

Hey!
My fingers were just fine learning how to play chords, thank you very much!

He lies to keep more girls to himself. Get somewhat good, play in a band, and it WILL get you girls. Ric Ocasek, my friend, Ric Ocasek...

It's true! Once you're good enough, that is.

You're right, I guess I didn't read your post through. Sorry about that.
What I meant to say before I decided to be kind of an asshole is that lessons are always a good idea. Even if you can figure out the chords and phrasing by youreself, it's always good to have a more experienced musician giving you pointers and correcting mistakes. It depends though, on the teacher. Both of my bass teachers were music majors. My first teacher graduated from the music academy of Moscow, and is also a classical violin player, and the second one was a Rimon school of Jazz and Modern Music and Berklee College of Music graduate. So it's fair to say I've had pretty good teachers. But if you get a passable guitarist who thinks he's the shit and can teach kids music, then you're really better off figuring it out yourself.
