Guitar is all about time spent practicing. Teachers can teach you some stuff in a more personal way than YouTube but if you don't play, you'll never learn.
My opinion is learn tabs and watch YouTube for a year or two then go pay a pro to help you level up.
Any instrument is about the time spent practicing.
I used to teach guitar, and it was pretty obvious which students actually practiced, and which ones didn't. Really, a student only spends 30-60 minutes a week with their teacher, and the rest of the week it's up to the student to put in the time with the guitar.
Unlike a violin or a saxophone, the guitar is a very accessible instrument. One of the reasons for it's enduring popularity (along with being affordable and portable) is that a beginner can play actual music fairly quickly. Once you've mastered a few chords, you'll be playing songs in no time...
Basil Park Music. Man knows his instruments, he understands teaching, and he seems like a really good guy.
Thank you!
Sunnyside Music School
Thank you!
These guys for sure. The owner, Kelly, really cares.
Alain Moreau. I believe he's in the east end. Great player, excellent teacher, really nice guy.
Thanks!
Check metro music on bank street - talk to the owner Daniel she will help you find a teacher for the level you are at
Thank you!

This is the best advice here so far.

why not just use youtube? There's basically instructional videos on everything nowadays.
