What are you looking for from guitar lessons? (Just something to get you started? Longtime teacher? A specific skill you need help with?)
I'm looking for an evaluation of where I'm at, and then a plan to improve my mechanics and get me to a point where have the skills
to practice intelligently and continually improve. I'm at least looking for continual lessons for the medium term, maybe long term.

What are your long term goals for guitar?
* Read sheet music on guitar (can read sheet music but can't translate it to guitar right now)
* Build good fundamentals and a practice plan so I'm set up with tools to continually improve
* Built a repertoire of my favorite songs that I can play on guitar
* Get to a point where I can transcribe and play rythmn or lead guitar on almost any song so I can competently play guitar when I jam with my friends rather than just sax.

What would you like to accomplish in *our* time together?
Building a plan and getting started on achieving my long term goals.
