Good luck at your lesson!
When I was trying to sell the Monster guitar, the guy punctuated every sentence with, "well, we would have to set-up the guitar first".

What does that mean, I would ask. $75 was the reply

Please tell me it was with Esteban.
You know you kill social media when you snap a bunch of pictures of your trip downtown and they get snapped up as reposts on all the local business pages. Either that or it proves I’m the biggest nerd here.
Spending the Saturday downtown. Already had a guitar lesson, a farm to plate burger, and now I’m drinking an imperial pumpkin beer.

Ugh heart burn
Haha it’s not in a farm. But it might as well be.
Learning guitar at a farm... you'll be doing this in no time:

It went pretty well. Four lessons for $60. Dude owns a farm so this is the place to learn.

A Charvel was the first guitar I ever played. Not mine, but a friend's. He taught me my first E power chord and "tried" to teach me the opening riff of Enter Sandman.

What's the problem? Corona virus? Who cooks dinner around the house? Are you going to ask her not to cook your dinner?

You really pay for guitar lessons?
While it is clear you can find any information on technique and theory on Youtube or the like, what you can't get online, is someone watching you play and correcting problems with technique or approach. Unless of course you get an online live Skype lesson, which is...you know, a guitar lesson you pay for.

I think 2-3 such lessons is enough though. Other than that, can find everything on your own.
