Private versus Online Guitar Lessons

Is there a big difference between private, in-person, guitar lessons and online guitar lessons?  Well I think that depends on the individual and how far along you are in the process of learning guitar. First, if you are a beginner and not a very disciplined person then online lessons would not be the best choice.  However if you are disciplined and can hold your own feet to the fire then I think you could benefit from online guitar lessons.    Online guitar lessons offer a lot of benefits over private lessons.  One, way way cheaper.  Learn guitar at Center Stage Guitar Academy and pay $120 a year.  Learn from a private instructor and pay $1200 a year! Big difference.  Two, you can learn how to play guitar at your own pace with online lessons.  You can go as fast or slow as you want.  Three, you can do it from home at your own convenience.  If you are already playing and just want to expand, then online lessons are great because you already know the basics.  If you need someone to hold you accountable for learning then private lessons are the answer.  However, if you are not motivated enough to keep yourself accountable then you are probably not going to see it through anyway. And in the process waste a lot more money on private lessons.
