I've been playing for 2 years and I had a few teachers over those the last year as well. Overall I learned some pretty good things and my confidence has been boosted as well which I lacked a lot in.
I agree that guitar tricks offers a lot more and you pay a lot less compared to private lessons. I also think the beauty about GT is that there is not only so much to learn, but the accessibility as well.
It feels great that I can always quickly come back to a particular lesson and the instructors are just wonderful people. I made the mistake of leaving guitar tricks a year ago. But I decided to come back and start straight from scratch .
I have no regrets and I hope you'll enjoy it here
