I had a teach for a couple of months in the '80s, an old guy who played professionally at a famous local restaurant frequented by the mobsters. He had me learning from Mel Bay books and I couldn't take it anymore, Glow Worm was not what I wanted. He had just started showing me stuff not in the book, what he called 'the boogie woogie scale' which was the blues scale, and some triads. I should have stuck with him but I fired him. From that point on I went self taught. I'll tell you the rest of the story in the words of Mitch Hedberg.
"I taught myself how to play the guitar, which was a bad decision... because I didn't know how to play it, so I was a shitty teacher. I would never have went to me."
