Just to show you theres more then one way to skin a cat, and theyre all good ways, heres my opinion of this. Huntress gave you good sound advice. Now I teach those type of classes yet I always suggest getting into the videos and/or books first, and get some practice in first, before looking into instruction. You can read and reread a book, and play a tape until its worn out, and learn at your own pace, for about twenty bucks a crack. Just another opinion. As for outdated books, like they said, theyre still good. The old stuff is still very useful, I go back to my roots often!
