There are a lot of skilled players and instructors out there. But not all of them are good teachers. There's a lot of disgruntled really great players out there that are now teaching.
Some of those teachers are disgruntled, because their career never materialized into the fame and fortune they expected would come their way.
There's also a lot of so called "Classical or Jazz" guitar teachers out there that are inflexible in their teaching styles. They have a set of methods / requirements that they follow and refuse to change it for each particular students needs or personalities.
Over my 40+ years of playing, I've kicked quite a few of those bad teachers to the curb after 1-2 lessons. LOL
My humble opinion is that you need to screen any potential teachers via interviews.
You need to find a teacher that you can easily communicate with & is in lock-step with your desires & musical tastes.
The last thing you need is to be paying $$ to someone, who's focus isn't 100% aligned with your desires.
