Personally I feel one on one lessons are the best. I started out with a couple of beginner-intermediate mel bay videos when I was a kid back in the late 80’s. I took lessons from the local hairband guitar hero for a few years and then from the local classical vituoso for a couple years after that. Having a real teacher was the way to go. I personally think online when beginning and a real teacher at intermediate is the way to go. Once you have more or less mastered intermediate basics it’s much easier to back to learning online. That’s what I would do but it’s all about what works for you.

Steve Stein of Guitar Zoom presents some really solid how to’s that if you follow and practice you should advance very quickly on guitar. I love his acoustic lessons.

I’ve learned songs (banjo, not guitar) by watching online videos. But I also have a teacher.

^^Banjo is awesomeness^^

How’s GuitarJamz.com?

@Cruiser You and my wife have different definitions of “awesomeness”.

You can get skype lessons, I have a friend who gives them.
