I'm taking lessons with a guy I found by searching the forums (see the sticky about lessons) out of Jersey City, his rate is reasonable and he teaches VERY long sessions most of time, he is really knowledgeable, has an amazing ear and 25 years behind the fret board and to top it off he is a really chill guy, and I would recommend him leaps and bounds over my former instructor.
This is his site
