I somehow came across this guys videos which I thought were great from the beginning. He has hundreds of them on Youtube. This lead me to his site where he also offers a nice pdf handout of most of the lessons (all for free). Found out he graduated from GIT back in like 92' and has been a full time teacher every since. I wish I could find a local guy like this and I would take lessons... heck, wish I would have found a teacher like this when I was a kid... no telling where I would be now. Here is one of his vids I thought was helpful and there will be a link to his websites and blog there too. Hope this helps some and others find his teaching style helpful:
