I agree with jwb72's point: It's a good idea to sit down every once and a while with an instructor or a musician friend and play for them - they may notice some bad habits you develop (this always happens to me!).

The wide variety of teachers and playing styles found on this site is perfect. The more teachers you have, the better, imho. Whatever you want to get out of guitar, I think this site will get you there.

Don't worry, Bobby - I remember records, too:)
