I teach guitar for a living, and I think that adult students especially should make sure that the instructor knows where they want to go with their lessons. This is not to say that you shouldn't rely on the instructors expertise to get to where you want to go, but I get many students who have tried taking lessons with someone who <i>only taught the student what the teacher wanted to teach.</i> I am pretty "programmed" when it comes to teaching guitar (especially to beginners) but I try to make sure that the student is heading in the direction they want to go. I also try to make sure that they understand why we have to do the boring stuff too, but it is usually geared towards the students interests. One other thing that I think someone who is shopping for guitar lessons should do is take trial lessons with 2-3 teachers and go with the one who suits you the best.

You are the boss sounds a bit too hard, I think that if you asked a teacher for help you should trust him. Ok, speak your mind, ask him what to teach you but for ex if you want to learn how to play and he teaches you theory, maybe you don't yet see the whole picture but he may know where you should go to, because nobody loves theory from the start but without it you won't go far and the teacher knows it.
