While i would agree that taking lessons does in fact give way to tranmission of the guitar teachers own person style to the student, if you already have some playing habits that are a bit off from the base standard for "how to paly guitar properly" most gutiar teachers will give youpointers on how to improve your playing with what you are currently doing, especially if your technique already works fine for getting the sound you want.

My advice is consider this, lessons are good for two or three basic things, learning to play in general, learning to play a differnet style that perhaps you don't know already, and learning theory for the gutiar.

If you want to explore and learn a new style on the guitar finding a teacher that specializes in that style would be to your adantage.

As for the Tablature, seriously if at all possible find a tab book. Tab books are usually excessively thorough and done by people with really good ears for music not the bands themselves. Tabs on the internet are usually crap and done by someone who had some free time and in most cases little to no talent for the guitar in the first place trying to play a song they liked. Also work on developing your musical ear, it should come fairly natural after a while. Though if you have an ear for music just figure a song out for yourself and train your ear more by doing so.

Also if you are gonna get that band together find musicians that are at a similar stage in their skill and development as you so that the technical skill levels are about the same. Though with stict practice for more thatn 2 horus a day one can improve dramatically over a few months.

Anyhow i'm done rambling on and on, hope that helps out a bit.
