i think if you are not a beginner already, then you dont really have to take guitar lessons..... i mean acoustic and electric are pretty similar (dont get me wrong....i am not saying that they are the same or almost the same, just similar)
i started learning classical guitar when i was 14.... i only learned nine chords from a teacher for a month... then i had to go to oversea to study
although i had no more lessons after that, but now i still play as a guitarist in a band and write songs too
i think it will save you lots of money if you can try to learn by yourself..... because GuitarPro and Ultimate Guitar are just about everything XD
