Online Guitar Lessons or Private Lessons.?

Keep the guitar lessons questions coming! I liked this one:
Question: which is better? learning guitar over a computer course or having a real live teacher?
Answer: Can you hear me now???? A computer-based or CD-based lesson cannot. Only a LIVE teacher can motivate you, assess your abilities, and assign you work that helps you grow. Plus – they often have extra gigs that they can sub-contract to you as soon as you are good enough – a CD does not send you any work, or establish any personal rapport. The world is FULL of mediocre (they think they are AWESOME!!!) kids who taught themselves to play guitar in their bedroom, using YouTube or CD ROMs. And now – they are good enough to play in their bedroom alone! Or they make a band (???) with other cranky and limited kids. Nice . . . .
Which one can answer your questions when you are confused? Which one can help you out when you don’t realize you are doing something wrong?
Private lessons
A private teacher is always better in learning anything, not just music. But especially music.
