I never went the lessons route, I used books and later on DVDs (when they invented those). Now there are so many media formats to choose from, one is left without an excuse in terms of material and media formats.
A few good books that really helped me in the theory (and making it all click) were the Fretboard Logic series by Bill Edwards, and Fretboard Roadmaps by Fred Sokolow. I also really found material from Mark Hanson and Chris Proctor helped me down the fingerpicking path and for flatpicking you need to look no further than material by Steve Kaufman.
Ultimately it comes down to practice to which you are limited only by your own motivation.
