Did/does anyone find the "self-taught"/online route more productive than private lessons?

I've tried both. I started with a tutor ,who was a jazz guy and my theory is great. Life intervened and six years later I am using Justin Guitar. on both app an web. I quickly realised how poor my timing and rhythmic feel was.

Even after a month, I'm a much better player. Not all things are equal-I've retired now and can easily find an hour per day. However,the course suits me and I am really enjoying how the learning is structured.
