After a lifetime of self-teaching, I can hold down a campfire pretty well and entertain myself for hours on end. But I realized that I had plateaued in my skills, and had more holes in my knowledge than a swiss cheese. This spring I have embarked on private lessons. Having a teacher to hold me to account makes a big difference; once a week I have to demonstrate some progress.
This doesn't keep me away from YouTube, however. I look for a video on any tune that catches my ear. My favorite teachers are Justinguitar, James James/Privettricker, and Shutup & Play.
Also, having something to practice and study is good for one's brain and mind– use it or lose it!
