Over the years, I have periodically taken lessons. Then when I reach a point where the lessons are going in a direction I don't want to go at the moment, I will lay off the lessons and work by myself for awhile. I have been working without a teacher for the last year or so. If you really want to continue taking lessons, tell your teacher to slow up on the theory and help you with the areas you feel your playing is lacking. But, in my opinion, if it is something that you can work on by yourself, save the money and take a break from lessons for awhile. You mention that you want to work on your "physical" skills. Well, you don't need a teacher (for the most part) to work on that - just hours of practice!

Alternately, you can review this with your teacher and he can shift the focus of your lessons from theory to technique.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Dan Lasley https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/laying-off-the-lessons/#post-209582 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/laying-off-the-lessons/#post-21906 Thu, 16 Nov 2006 23:41:25 +0000
