Perhaps if I had taken formal lessons with an instructor, I might have been capable of giving lessons properly myself someday.

I can concur with this. I've tried to take lessons from 2 different friends that play in bands. They would show me something slow once, then get into it themselves and just start whalin'. I even tried to tape them while they played. Didn't help.
I've gone thru dozens of online teachers. There are some good ones on youtube. The one I found easiest to understand is a guy named 'Guitar Sage'. But he likes to play accoustic.
