I will watch this at least a few times.

I'd suggest that you maybe watch one a week and keep doing it until you're able to skip episodes because they are already known to you. He covers a lot of ground and does it quickly but he explains it well. More importantly, he is correct. I see a whole lot of stuff out there like, "How to cheat and learn this by doing this one simple trick!" That's really mostly meaningless and doesn't give people the foundations they need.

This guy gets TheBuddha's Seal of Approval. It's well worth the time investment and the knowledge will help you understand so many other things in time. The first two episodes are essential - in my opinion. The rest all seem to be good, I later flipped through a couple. The first two are things I'd consider essential and I'd suggest learning them to the point of comprehension (not memorization or rote) to be a good start - for any guitarists.

Beyond that, the rest of the series looks fucking awesome. I am very, very impressed with it.

It might be noted that this is only the second time that I've given a video my seal of approval. There's one more that I'll link you to - it is already linked on my site.

It's the bonus video, the one for the road, by Petrucci on my page when I noted he was better than Hendrix. Here's a link:

It's the last one down. It's one that my student watches pretty much once a week and I watch it with her and sometimes monitor what she picks up from it or watch her play along with it. It's a very, very good resource.

It just so happens that it goes very nicely with this:

Both may be a bit advanced for your current familiarity, but they're worth watching and giving a quick read.
