Let's try to look at this as encouragement to those who cannot currently get an instructor into their schedule, shall we?
I was skiing 7 years before taking my first lesson, and still got something out of it.
Those who have determined to take up the instrument and use the standard teaching guides may in fact progress rapidly, particularly if they play with other people (feedback).
Most of the benefit in lessons is regular interjection of instruction to a PRACTICE SCHEDULE.
Music theory and guidance are helpful, as I often recommend, but it is entirely possible for a determined player to develop a high level of skill without outside intervention.
Considering what lessons cost, no wonder some choose to go without.
That said, I see my teacher biweekly and have undoubtedly progressed beyond what I may have achieved unaided.
