By virtue of their electrical properties, tubes generate a special waveform when they're saturated, which is why tube engineering has tremendous tonal advantages over solid state or DSP solutions, particularly for crunch and lead sounds. Tubes enter the saturation zone gradually or softly, which lends tube-driven tone its trademark yet totally unique character.

I know it's possible to get lessons for $12 per hour, but it's unrealistic for anyone to expect to pay that low since it's not exactly common. Basics is right for what one would normally see charged, but I have seen higher than that.
If I gave lessons I would probably charge something like three bucks per half hour session, but that's for a few reasons. First reason, I love doing it. Second, I'm not as skilled as most instructors are so it wouldn't be right charging as much. Third, I wouldn't pay as much as is normally charged for lessons so I can't expect anyone else to, and last, my social skills are ****.
there's a reason we have swear filters here... please don't try to evade them. Thanks. - eggman

You shouldn't undersell yourself. For example, think about if you saw a guitar in a shop for $10, and one for $100. Before trying either of them out, your first instinct (at least, most people) would be to get the $100 guitar, since you'd figure "whoever heard of a decent guitar for $10?"
Same with lessons. Most people would wonder what was wrong with you for $3 a half hour. But if you charge a little more, say, $10/half hour, then it seems like a real bargain.
... and that's all I have to say about that.
