I'm looking for advice on how to find an instructor or mentor. I've been playing for about a year now, putting in a lot of time practicing. Largely self taught. I've got an instructor, but something isn't clicking. I feel that I'd rather work on things on my own. I think this is simply me not getting what I want out of the lessons.
There is a local musician whose work I admire. Asked if he would teach me, but ultimately he decided he was too busy to do so.
I guess I could go down to the Guitar Center and ask for lessons, but that feels kind of random.
I have a full time job, so I can't go off to music school.
So I want a higher level of direction, better feedback on what is correct and what is not. A better sense of how best to spend my time, etc.
If I google for "guitar instruction seattle" I get a ton of links, but have no idea how to evaluate them.
I'm at a loss on how best to proceed. I want to put the effort behind this and I know I would be a good pairing with some kind of instructor or mentor, but I don't know how to find them.
