I appreciate what M.Ted and Rick said way above about making sure your teacher is familiar with the kind of music you want to do.

A few weeks ago I interviewed a guitar teacher who is very accomplished in classical, jazz, and pop material (teaching, performing, and composing)... but when I mentioned Ste. Anne's Reel, he didn't recognize the title, nor recognize the tune when I hummed it. So I decided not to go to him, pretty much based on this reason.

I've been wondering if I was being unfair making a decision because of one tune... but geez, Ste. Anne's isn't just any tune.
