Default Re: Acoustic Guitar for a Beginner

Alright guys, so I've been playing for 3 weeks now. I'm playing a little everyday, some days even multiple times. My calluses are developing nicely and have no pain when playing now, although I'm still getting hand soreness, have to build up those new muscles. I have found a lot of good info on youtube/internet and also began reading a beginner book and practicing with it.

I have went to 2 lessons for a half hour each, at $15 a session. I have to be honest, I really haven't learned anything new in the sessions that I didn't already get out of the book or the internet.

What do you guys say as far as lessons go?
Are they really worth it?

The instructor is really only helping me to play chords to songs, not really breaking down the mechanics of everything, which is sort of what I thought I would get from an instructor. I'm seriously considering just being self taught and learning on my own versus shelling out $15 per half hour for not that much instruction.

Looking for advice here all. Thanks
