Sorry if this has been asked and answered, I could dig up nothing via search:
Has any pro player put out a great VIDEO course on intermediate/advanced pick blocking in the style of Paul Franklin? I know there's a tiny bit on Paul's one video (he explains very little, sadly), but I'm in search of something more in-depth. Staying on 2 or 3 strings I can do, but moving across strings, high to low, low to high, still ties me up in knots more often than I like. There must be a system to it! That clean style of playing is amazing, don't you think?
I've had some tutelage from Joe Wright, that was excellent (and HARD!), but I get a sense that what Paul, Mike Johnson, Mike Smith, Randall Currie, et al, are doing may be slightly different. Maybe they're all doing the exact same thing, I'd like expert opinions on that.
Thanks for leads, links and suggestions.

Paul had a talk tape out on pick blocking ,which was a great help to me, and yes I do think they use a little different style of right hand, I know the tape tells you to use thumb and two fingers rather then the crossover thing that some teach, and I find it much easier and faster, not that I am fast.
The tape I had was just a tape not a DVD.
Not sure it is still aviable.

Thanks, Keith, I'll look into that.
Ideally I'd like to SEE the finer details demonstrated.
Btw, if indeed there are subtle variations in advanced pick blocking, I'm eager to study all approaches, surely something will click for me. So there's no right/wrong, better/worse in my view, just different, perhaps.
Over the years I've studied very closely right hand blocking styles of top pros down to rank amateurs, the variations are astounding, but everyone uses what they can manage to make effective.
Not all top steelers are even pick blockers, but most of them nowadays mix in palm blocking, pick blocking, and other more subtle methods, just as I do.
I'll forever be a student of this contraption we all love so much!
