The cost isn't trivial but having someone who knows what your goals are and who can actually watch and listen to you play then offer specific feedback, that's irreplaceable. Especially the closer to a total beginner the more that's true. Again, just in my opinion.
And I'm talking about an hour lesson once a week for a year or anything like that. I'm talking about a series of maybe half a dozen sessions over a period of a couple months or so to get you started on the right track.

I've taken private lessons before with other instruments and there is this nasty disease I call "narcissistic pedagogy" floating around out there, and I can't afford to sustain the search for a teacher that fits.
But I totally agree that a block of feedback and sage advice would be invaluable. I will try in the future if finances allow.
