    Lightbulb Lessons?

    Looking for some recommendations regarding furthering my learning. I took lessons for the first 3 months of this year which definitely brought me along a bit. Stopped lessons in order to focus on another project and now that it is completed, I can focus on guitar again. Looking for some recommendations that might be a little more cost-effective than private lessons. Can anyone advise me on DVD lessons or on-line video lessons? Seems like there are a lot out there, but I have no idea which to choose. My current skill level is basically beginner with knowledge of a few chords and some scales.

    Thanks all!:
    RIG 1:
    Guitar: Epiphone Ebony G-400 SG "Fast Eddie"

    Effects: I think the amplifier has a bunch built in....

    RIG 2:
    Guitar: Epiphone Ebony Dreadnought "Cinder"
    Amplifier: Big Hole in Center of Guitar
    Effects: Various Picks & Gnarled Fingers

    What kind of music are you most interested in playing?

    I can thrash out some slower Sabbath stuff such as Iron Man and NIB. Just the power chords though, no solos or anything. So, uhm, yeah, pretty much floor level.

    Psychobilly = pretty much a combination of Punk Rock and Rockabilly. Ever heard The Cramps? They are considered the first of the genre by most people.

    Instro Surf = instrumental surf rock which had it's hey-day in the early 1960's with several revivals since. Dick Dale, The Ventures, etc. are Instro Surf artists.

    David Hamburger.....for kick-*** blues and slide instruction. Go to YouTube, key in his name and there are a number of tutorials that are excellent. He explains stuff as well as that VEINS guy from DolphinStreet.com.

    He has a couple of DVD instructionals out. Very good stuff.
