Many moons ago, I took guitar lessons after school from the school's
music teacher. She was the hottest woman I had ever seen. The lessons
were free, but the motivation was definitely there! Whew!

It's funny, but when you lay down some hard earned $$ towards lessons,
the investment in money seems to help inspire one to follow through and
practice.

I can attest that having a teacher will make you practice more.  I had a

lesson with Jason Ricci a couple of weeks ago and have been practicing a
lot 
more since then.  It's hard for me to find time because of grad school
and 
the fact that I can't play at night in my apartment (too many
neighbors), 
but I am trying to fit in at least ten or fifteen minutes a day to work
on 
scales and nailing those 3-hole bends.  At the end, I choose a style 
(lately, jazz) and play whatever I want for as long as I can keep up my 
breath or stand to hear myself.
