It's impossible to overstate how amazingly effective having a teacher can be. I recently started taking guitar lessons again after over a decade of noodling (I took lessons in high school, and kept playing, but never sought instruction after leaving home for college).
It is crazy how quickly I've improved in the last few months. Some of it is mechanical stuff, some of it is knowledge stuff, but I think the biggest thing is just knowing that every two weeks I'm going to chat with my teacher, which keeps me motivated to keep working on things and also just gives me a reason to play.
- mtalantikite 3y agoFor sure. Just having someone to keep you on track and to lend their ears to your playing is a beautiful thing. And in most cases with a teacher that's been doing it for a while, whatever problems you're encountering they've probably hit with a bunch of other students in the past. My teacher has been teaching for 50 years, so he knows where to point you. It's up to you to show up to your instrument and do the thing though.
