-1 for get a good teacher. I pored money into one, classically trained.
Its my personal experience sure.. but an expensive mistake that my friends and family spitefully joke about, "Remember that lame ass guitar you gave thousands to and you learned jack?"
Dont be afraid to walk on a teacher, they might be good player but not a good teacher, actually unable to teach.
I suggest highly looking into lick library DVDS and figure out what you want to know first. Do you need 5 months of rhythm? Read sheet music? or just need to get down and learn 12 bar blues or do you want to play live in bars or clubs?
Im not saying all teachers are bad, just some are hucksters so watch your self!
