On a tangent, I think now more than ever it is reasonable to be completely self taught. The internet can teach you so much these days. Online videos are a great resource as well.

On the other hand you can't jam with the internet like you can a teacher. They will also point out your mistakes way faster than the internet. Backing tracks are great, but jamming with a person teaches you much more.

What do you guys think?
Agreed but it isn't the method that matters.

Ambition readily injects confidence, eagerness, and the self-discipline to weather a formal or self-taught regimen of training. It doesn't matter which method occurs, with ambition achievement is always a given. On the flip side, without ambition training suffers regardless of the method.

What people tend to do is confuse want with ambition. The former has words. The latter has legs. Hence the adage Talk Is Cheap.

So, the answer to the question for me is relative to the person, not the method.
