most the lessons i found on youtube suck ass.... they either explain it but put your fingers on this fret*points* on this string*points* or dont even explain, just play it slowly...

ive only found one or two guys that had some good stuff

or you could just look up tabs for really easy songs....and learn that way...

oh paul gilbert has some decent stuff on youtube. granted, he wanks a lot in it....and he really only shows his shreddy style and u dont get much else...but u can take his stuff and use that to build finger strength.

but dont try to get too shreddy...that just gets boring

Try expert village.

Also, I've been playing 9 years and honestly all I did was get my friends to show me a few chords. From that point on I just went through tab after tab after tab and playing whatever I liked
Now its 9 years on and I'm playing better than people twice my age.
