It is so important to support our professional musicians during these really tough times as teaching may be their only source of income. If you can get a teacher, it benefits everyone.
I forgot to say that one of my favorite sites on Youtube which is free to use, though Mike does accept donations, is at mandomike.com . This is a UK based site and his teaching is very structured with a good description of what he is getting across, backed up with a downloadable worksheet which includes tab music.
I feel that this guy is so generous in what he is giving away that any donations made are very justified.
I hope this helps.
