Some excellent advice already offered above, but I’ll try to add my 2 cents worth. I heartily agree with the strategy of learning songs you like, it’s much more motivating than doing skill exercises, though of course those are helpful, too.
Taking one-on-one lessons can definitely be a good thing, but I’ve found you need the right instructor, someone who caters their approach to what your interests are, not someone who has a “set in stone” plan for everyone. I have tried 3 different teachers, and all helped me to some degree, but I eventually found I could make more progress at what I wanted to learn by watching some of the better instructors on YouTube (and get better value for my money).
TAC is awesome for motivating you to “show up” every day and work on technique, skills etc that will improve your finger dexterity and music theory comprehension.
I also love the suggestions to play with other musicians, and make sure to have fun with your guitar every day. Those are things I need to work on, but I’m confident they’ll come along eventually😄
