Guitar Lessons???

When i was 13 i listened to a lot of buttrock like acdc, so i started taking guitar lessons. Mostly i was too stupid to understand what chords and scales were so the guy just walked me through tabs of songs i knew from guitar hero 3. Needless to say i gave up after about a year of not making any progress.

a few years later once i got into zeppelin i strung up the guitar and learned on my own. I started playing various tabs online, and figured out basic music theory by playing a shitty old keyboard. I think guitar lessons can be valuable for learning certain techniques but in general if you just wanna play songs you're better off using the internet to figure it out.

I've also noticed that lesson-taught people tend to play like robots -- they know how to do very technically proficient and admittedly good solos on basic scales, and how to do certain tricks and riffs, but they lack a certain creativitiy in my opinion
