Don't think I've ever had a formal teacher. I took a folk guitar class way back in high school, and that was it. Self-taught ever since; I use books, vids, and learn from other players by watching them live whenever possible. I've been friends with great players (the late Sean Costello, for example) and have had them show me things now and then. Mostly I use CDs and a slow-downer application (Anytune) to learn tunes.
