true. i got lessons for a few years, but it was to get a foundation for learning the rest on my own. my teacher believed in exploration and self discovery, so after teaching me all the basics and theory, i pretty much went from there

I've been playing guitar for 12 years and got 2 years of lessons at the start. I'd say lessons are super-beneficial because it gives you a basic education that makes learning other instruments that much easier. Learning stuff you don't enjoy helps to make you a more well-rounded musician too.

If just wanna learn one or two ramones songs you probably don't need to pay for lessons.
