Self Taught??

drums: self taught for about a year and a half then took lessons for a month and stopped them. i found the lessons were nothing special, basically just told me stuff i could have figured out on my own, except for polyrythyms and some jazz beats i basically could learn by playing stuff from my favorite artists.

guitar: self taught for 3 years then took lessons for 2 months and quit. self taught guitar is pretty easy for me, i always had the passion and drive to learn how to do things so i would basically just teach myself how to make the sounds i want and from their it was just entertainment so i have no reason for a teacher. personally i dont like the idea of a teacher, a mentor would be nice, maybe if he was a guitar virtuoso that i could basically learn beside rather than being told and shown what to do and just mimicking his style.
