I kind of suprised that no one has mentioned the video tapes of Doc's available at homespuntapes.com. There are two of them that I know of. I havn't seen them but I've enjoyed the bluegrass mandolin and Irish guitar videos that I have purchased. I'm sure that one on one experience with a good teacher is invaluable but if there isn't one around then these tapes should run a close second. Especially if you are trying to pick up the style of one particular artist.
