Well I finally did it. I called the music studio yesterday and told them I was going to go it alone for a while. I asked the owner to keep me in mind if anything opens up for him to teach me more. He said he would. It went really well. I've talked to him several times about this before. So I know it wasn't a shock to him. But still, I was worried he'd ask a bunch of questions. I don't like bad mouthing any teacher, unless of course he was the one I had as a kid in California. Now that teacher was a class A jerk! But I was willing to go through his harsh treatment of me in order to learn guitar. I finally quit him too :-)

But my teacher wasn't a jerk at the studio. He was really nice, too nice. I need someone who can teach me something and stick with it till I get it. I can't stand being jerked around from this to that to this to that.

Anyway, thanks for all your great input!
