Sri Justin,

If you are so much obsessed with the concept of Guru in a particular sense, the chances are that you may again get disappointed. Consider the first person who taught you the first alphabet in your as the first guru. Then all along, there are many gurus. The swamy who told you to continue with your own sadhana may be quite right. Unless you get it straight from Sri Adi sankaracharya , all others teaching about Sankara Tatvas will tinge with their own interpretation.So you may feel disappointed.
It is now unavoidable that way. But own learning gamut is quite spread and vast.For any clarification you can seek help of any knowledge able person you choose.

If byGuru, you mean getting Deeksha, etc, you may visit certain places like Haridwar,Rishikesh etc where many people with intention of such Deeksha go in search of a Guru.By meeting relevant people there, you may get to the right person of your choice.

For artists(like musicians etc) the Guru is not just one.According to their acquiring knowledge, they seek next Guru, who will lead them to higher reaches. So one may or may not stick to only one Guru, but respect all of them from beginning one.
