There are some videos up top at the "instruction" link up top.
Also see Bobbe Seymour's youtube channel (don't recall the URL) and Mickey Adams' youtube channel at www.youtube.com/singlpilot
I think Greg Cutshaw has some videos for sale, as does Joe Wright. Also William Litaker does a webinar (gawd, I dislike netjargon) every Saturday.

I'm with you, Lane, but I guess if we want to exploit the power of the net we have to put up with the mangled words.

The Jeffran material is pretty comprehensive for a beginner, especially the "Up from The Top" series, which goes into pedal and lever usage more deeply than most other courses. For other basics, Bruce Boutons' fine video has helped a lot of people get going. Steve Palousek's videos from Emmons are loaded with good stuff, as are Doug Jernigan's. Wally Moyer's series "Licks from the 50's-70's" on Texas Music and video has some really great classic moves.

Jeff Rady has some great stuff. If you want to learn a song he walks you through everything so you can play the song.
Johnny Up has some very thorough videos as well. |

Not wild about Dave Anderson's stuff. I bought two of his videos. In one he gave a dazzling introduction (west coast style comping vol.2) and in the lesson he teaches you a completely different approach to the song. It was a cheap enough video, and I still got a lot out of it but felt mislead.
I bought one of his scale videos and the tab was full of so many errors. It was an informative video that showed the fretboard, but the reference materials were seriously lacking. |

| to be fair, I haven't purchased them myself, so I can't argue for or against. I've seen some of his promo vids on youtube, thats all. Shame you were disappointed, Mark. That's never a good thing. |

I got something out of them, but they weren't homeruns. If I were to grade them I'd give them a C. The west coast one came with a really good jam track and I like playing over it. I use the stuff and it was like $8.00. No regrets but I purchased Jeffran stuff and learned so much.
The Rady videos you will learn EXACTLY what he shows you in the intros. He walks you through the entire song at a very slow pace so you get it down. |

For the best lesson in the shortest amount of time, Bruce Bouton's DVD is the way to go. He can get you going pretty quickly.
However, if you like lots of details, and want the most detailed information for the money... go with anything by Joe Wright. |

I just wanted to say thanks to this thread I picked up Bouton's dvd and I'm really liking it so far. I'm up to mansion on the hill.
I had Rob Haine's Anyone Can Play PSG as well, and I'd recommend that one first. He walked me through the real basics and that DVD was exactly what I needed when I first got my PSG.
One call out, I get the sense that this guy will just blow throw riffs and ideas later on in the DVD. I still think it's a valuable resource though and I also realize there's just so much you can do in 90 minutes. |

I suggest William Litaker beginner course and join his live broadcast 4 weeks $20 bucks. He can get to started down the right path!
