I have been using justinguitar.com.  Not my cup of tea.

What have I been doing to teach myself guitar?  Pentatonic scales, D-A-E-C-G chords, and transitions between them.  I have been slowly working through a book called guitar finger gym.

What do I hope to get from this?  I want to be able to sit around and strum on a guitar.  I don't want to gig, or practice to "memorize" songs I like.  I want a structured lesson structure that I can watch and practice in the evenings.

I can't afford 1 on 1 lessons. They are about $120/month...

I don't use any lesson sites, but I do subscribe to songsterr. I've found it to be incredibly helpful for learning new songs and their tabs to be pretty on point.

Check out creativeguitarstudio.com, he also has a youtube channel and offers up plenty of free lessons, from beginner all the way up. Did I mention it's totally free?

You can pay for lessons or send him some money via paypal if you're so inclined, he does it all and covers many styles and offers video and audio, and provides tab to download and play to or along with.

I like Erich Andreas stuff on YouTube. His YouTube is "yourguitarsage" he has tons of vids. If you go to his site, he has his first 30 lessons free.
It's worth checking out.

Got a PS4 / XboxWhatever?... Rocksmith is somewhat fun and actually teaches a bit.  My kids enjoy it more than other teaching methods and have learned quite a bit.... I have as well.

Fender just rolled out a new web-based instruction program. I've not signed up and get no kickbacks for promoting it. My brother in law is one of the instructors and curriculum designers. He did give me a guitar pick, but I'm pretty sure that doesn't count as a kickback.

I've learned a ton from http://www.licknriff.com/
He has a new free "note by note" lesson out about each week.
Also find him on YT as licknriff.
Good luck..
