Many people probably prefer to learn to play guitar in person, either through a music school or private lessons. Sitting in the same room as your guitar definitely has its advantages, but it also comes with many limitations that you avoid when learning online. What my guitar students usually appreciate is how efficient online lessons can be. By sitting in their living room just beforehand, they can warm up their fingers, tune the guitar, and go through their homework one last time, so that during the lesson they can get the most out of the actual learning.
