YouTube is an amazing resource for music lessons. One of the best! also courses are incredibly helpful as well. There is no substitute for one on one lessons though. Either online or in person. I teach lessons online and would be happy to help you or would encourage you to reach out to someone in your community. Invest in yourself so you can really elevate your playing and better understand all of the amazing free content there is on YouTube.
