I bought the Claude Johnson coarses about a year or so ago and was very happy with them. However, they can only take you so far. I mean you do learn a lot of songs, but not alot about reading music and other styles besides blues and rock. I like this site because you can learn everything that Claude leaves off. I did like the fact that he had you playing popular songs by the end of the first lesson. I guess it depends on what your ultimate goal is.
