Youtube is amazing.  There is just so much quality stuff that available.

I'm pretty similar to you, although I took lessons for about 3 or 4 months.  Just enough time for my teacher to show me my open chrords, and tab out Witchy Woman, Lying Eyes, Smoke on the Water, Hotel California, and of course Stairway.  After that I was on my own.

I remember saving up to buy tab books or God forbid I had enough money to buy one of those instructional videos (they were like 40 bucks!).  I honestly cannot imagine having all of this stuff available today back then when I was like 14 and trying to learn Chili Pepper and Rage Against the Machine songs by ear.

Youtube actually really helped me get back into playing.  I still noodled around but I hadn't progessed in a long, long time.  Fwiw, I probably spend more time watching youtube now than actually tv.  All sorts of different guitar stuff. 

Not sure anyone really cares but here's some of my favorite channels: Robert Baker, Paul Davids, Rhett Skull, Pete Thorn, Matthew Scott, Norm's, Trogly's, Casino Guitars, etc.

Pete Thorn is amazing.  That guy should be a star.  Love that guy's playing.

He could make any piece of equipment sound good.

Norm's is great just to drool over their guitars not to mention the level of talented players that show them off.

Phil X used to crack me up when he'd show off guitars for Fretted Americana.  He's so spastic.


I like on Youtube:

Music Is Win-What's not to like about this guy.  He can be cocky but also humble too.
Ben Eller(Uncle Ben)-great deadpan comedy mixed with real lessons.
Robert Baker-Fun to watch
Guitarlessons365-Has one of the biggest libraries of cover song lessons
Rick Beato(works with Rhett Shull BTW)-More about song construction, music industry insight, and theories.
Paul Gilbert-Just an all around nice guy and love to listen to him talk about music.
Late Night Lessons-Breaks down what makes players styles shine
