As someone else just starting out, I am taking lessons as well. My instructor is $18 a half hour, though I am sure it is a little dependent on where in the country you live!
Anyways, I think the first lesson was invaluable (I could play literally nothing). After first lesson, Twinkle Twinkle, mary Little Lamb, Dazed Confused ( Just bass part). After 2nd lesson, some chords. On my own, C, D, and G chords. So I think the lesson has been good. He laid out the 12 bar blues, and each week we revisit that, and he offers more input.
If you think you're not clicking with your teacher, try a new one. But it sounds like you're doing good. My humble opinion!
