My frist guitar teacher was an accomplished musician. She played mandolin for the local orchestra and taught guitar (and probably other instruments on the side). While I certainly learned things from her, it ended witha sour note (no pun intended) as her classical musician attitude eventually got on my nerves. That really hurt my desire to play and I put my axes down for over a year.
Tonight I had my firs lesson with my new teacher. He's much closer to my age and used to play guitar for several local bands (he's taking time off since he had a child). He's closer to my age and listens to music more similar to my tastes. He's also a much better teacher. Just after my first half hour session with him tonight I feel like I learned a lot. Learned some new exercises to warm up and to help with my chord changes.
It's nice to be back in the learner's seat. Now to work on my Enter Sandman assignment :D
