This week's lesson was a little more of what I was expecting. I told him I was pretty good at practicing at the level I am currently at, and would like to move on a little. He taught me 4 new barre chords that I never knew and gave me a song to practice them in. I am struggling a bit with these new chords which just gives me more inspiration to practice more. All in all a very good lesson this week.

As far what “quickfingers” said, I just cannot agree with you. I believe that an experienced guitar teacher is, and should be prepared for all levels of playing. For me, having a teacher there to talk to and bounce ideas back and forth is worth the money I pay him to teach. While I do agree that in addition to a teacher, a budding guitar player does need to read and do his or her own learning, a good teacher is invaluable.
