Unfortunately, you do have a point. There are guitar teachers out there who are not really effective teachers, but just guitar players looking to make some extra money. If you search your local area thoroughly though, and ask the right questions to prospective teachers, you will at least be able to weed out the ones who aren't going to help you.
