Online guitar lessons

Has anyone due to COVID taken one on one lessons via zoom or something similar?
I picked up guitar in March as something to do when stuck at home all day. I’ve been watching guitar tricks and YouTube but would like to take something real. The most reputable shop in my area where I want to start isn’t doing then until at least September (and it was July, then August, now September...)
Would it be worth doing online or should I just be patient ?

My friend has been giving lessons like that, to his students. He said it's been working out pretty well, at least, better than he expected. He's a really solid player and a cool guy. You might give him a call and discuss it with him. Martin's Music, his name is Andrew, shop number is 256-496-6347.

FenderPlay and it was free for a while. Still may be.

I dated a woman who did skype lessons and she loved it. Better instruction than she could find locally and without having to leave the house.

My daughter took in-person lessons for a little over a year that were switched to online due to COVID. She doesn’t like online.
Her instructor is a good dude and I want to support the shop until it opens back up - but if you haven’t started lessons yet, I would just YouTube until you can find a place to do it in person.

... maybe it's different strokes for different folks. (sic)
Would beat traveling the 40 minutes (one way) to get the guy I wanted. Might check if he'll do them online. It would be nice to start up again. Of course there's probably a big difference for those starting out.

Just starting out? I'm self taught until recently, and wish I'd have had someone give me some structure at the beginning. Jumping around youtube is a good way to learn specific songs, but sometimes you just need to ask questions or have someone catch a mistake before it becomes a habit or make sure you learn certain things.
there are plenty of folks who give lessons via skype or zoom. Skype lessons are more productive than I thought they'd be. I've been doing an hour a week with a guy from North Carolina who's teaching me bluegrass lead. No different than sitting in the room with him in person. Very productive and no driving or waiting.
ETA: one aspect of skype lesson is actually pretty cool - he can pull up blank sheet on the screen and fill in the tab or notation for what we're working on so I can follow, change it during the lesson as needed, then email it to me immediately so I can work on it. I print them and keep them in a binder.

I've been playing 36 years, and I've learned more from Michael Palmisano in 3 months than I have in the previous 10 years. It's $10 a month for the full deal.
