What are the best music lesson learning methods?

I'm thinking about learning how to play and instrument. So I was looking for some tips on how to start looking for music instructors and what I can do to help myself learn how to play.

1. Let me start off, no offense but this is the wrong cat. This section is for school related stuff. But anyways, the best way, is to teach yourself. Buy books, watch videos, make your own stuff, ect. Because, well, let me give you an example. A guitarist teaches a student. Although, that guitarist has probably learned from someone elts. That teacher he learned from his/her own style. So when you take lessons, you are basically learning the style of your teacher. It is also important to develop your own style. Developing your own style lets you explore thousands of comfortable points in which you can put together to develop your style. I am currently teaching myself guitar and it is working out great. I've gotton my own style as well as the skill of handling bad habits because honestly you might not learn every thing correct the first time, but in the long run it helps learning to deal with bad habits. If you do take lessons, at least get your own sounds. If the teacher puts your guitar or amp or any instrument to his own personal liking just say back off (not really) and use what YOU like, and stick to it. PS: the habit thing isin't only for guitar. Hope you enjoyed reading this block of text i typed out for you.
