Where is the best place to get Guitar Lessons in Chicago?

I am just Beginning Guitar and want to take lessons. I am wondering who and where the best teachers are in Chicago.

depends where in chicago. my bf gives lessons in the far south suburbs (guitarlessonsbyscott.com). i have screened other teachers in the chicago area. you would have to check into pricing. you want minimum 1 hour lessons and you want to learn theory.

http://www.achieve-fitness.com/guitar_lessons_chicago.htm is in the city near the united center

CGL.com is in the north side of chicago

www.fairviewmusic.com is in the western burbs

just make sure you tell them that Scott from Guitar Lessons by Scott referred you. Good Luck!
