    Just wondering what people think is the best way to get guitar lessons as an "improver" rather than a begginner?

    I'd imagine group would be more craic but one on one would be more productive in the long run?

    Anyone on here have experience of both that could compare them?

    Personally and as a teacher, I would say one to one. I taught group glasses and they were a nightmare. Unless you're teaching theory or a piece to more accomplished musicians it's going to be a disaster as people have different needs when it comes to the practical end of it.

    Probably, but you are not paying for that. ;) While group classes are generally cheaper, I think one to one is best if you can afford it.

    I did group lessons for a few years. I had a really great time and met my very best friend there. But any serious learning I did in my own time. The classes never got past strumming along to songs.
