advantages:
-You will learn how to play the way most people do, and you won't be playing in any deformed ways that are harmful to your playing.
-Depending on How good he/she is, most teachers know techniques for most playing styles, and you can just bring in a cd and they will be able to figure it out by ear.
-You can learn broad varieties of techniques, as opposed to just the music you like.
dis:
-The teacher might be a moron and teach the wrong ways of playing things, this can be easily fixed by knowing other guitarists to consult.
-Money.
So if you got money and you know some people who can direct you the right way, definetly try a teacher, unless you wish to inspire on your own.

You learn a lot faster with a teacher. You can learn a lot of different styles, but not a lot do metal. Thats the bad thing. Theres this one guy around here that can teach shred and stuff like that real well. I think I'll check him out.

thats the kind of teacher i wanna get
but theyre hard to come by, especially in the uk
but either way, i just wanna get taught how to play...properly coz i went to my mates house to day with another friend and they both have been playing for 2years and are both awesome. so i felt like shit coz i've only just started and i can do fuck all. and so i want to make sure i get a lot better within 2 years to either get to their standard or beyond.

Ask them then. Lots of people I know who can play guitar knows someone who can teach. If your friends are really good, they could even teach you some really simple stuff to get you started. |

the best would be to find a guitarist in your area and jam with him/her...that way you keep getting tips from that person and also a lot of guidance.
