Who do you rate as a good / favourite teacher ?
Justin is a great teacher but most of his stuff is beginner/intermediate.......likewise Marty
Who fills the intermediate -advanced gap..... 
I like Robert Renman - so similar type of things ....Dario Cortesi etc 
I'm looking for Clever Country, Rockabilly,Jump Blues and Basic Jazz/ Be-bop........(nothing with "out -there" substitutions ,weird or very difficult to voicings) and without a deep technical lecture on the principles of Quartal Harmony etc etc.
 Who do you find clear and straightforward,logical ,not too much talk or too much assumption that you were already very familiar with that specific semi-diminished arpeggio from the 5th string route etc
 I also get very frustrated with those "taster" type lessons where the teacher rips through a great piece faster than the eye can see and then says "I'm going to show you all that stuff " when you sign up for 50 lessons !
 Any good recommendations?

    I quite like Paul David’s regular YouTube videos, although he has bombarded me with emails for his new ‘guitar course’....$199 introductory price. Which I won’t be signing up for as it’s expensive & is a beginners course....so no good for you either.

    Books.

    Books are the future.

    Usually less than 20 quid and you can go at your own pace.
    Often with CD or online content.

    You could look at Levi Clay, of this parish. On Youtube and in all good bookshops.

    One to one. Check out teachers in your locality and book lessons. Top professional golfers have and use teachers so why not musicians?

    This. A book can't give you feedback or motivate you as well as a tutor. I should know I am one! Also a book is kinda one-size-fits-all whereas a good tutor will evaluate and tailor your playing ability to pick songs/exercises to suit. They will also spot bad habits/mistakes and save you years of frustration.

  • If your tutor is a good one would you need to look up extra stuff on the internet as well? If you asked Gordon Ramsay to cook a meal would he have to ring up another chef to ask what to do?

    Hope it's ok with @Dominic to narrow the field a bit, and ask if anyone recommends  fingerstyle/chord melody teacher(s) at the intermediate levels?

    TrueFire has a lot of Jump Blues stuff - I find an annual access-all-areas subscription really useful

    Imagine something sharp and witty here ......

  • Eric Haugen's YouTube stuff is great, especially for pinching ideas on tasteful and interesting arrangements.

  • Eric Haugen's YouTube stuff is great, especially for pinching ideas on tasteful and interesting arrangements.

    I've only recently discovered him, as I only spend about five minutes per week on guitar I'm not really getting the benefit but I like him. I was watching him do some Freddie King stuff ( he covers a lot of genres) and he nailed it. His explanations are fairly clear as well. 

    Is it Anyone Can Play Guitar? He's good for random song tutorials. 

    For the OP I would have thought True Fire as his choices are right in the middle of what they cover. I've been tempted by their Jim Campilingo course, especially as Jim's own lessons are relatively expensive.
