Yes, john, it's a great video. I practiced following it.
I have the worst combination of finger attributes--short and fat, so this is hard for me. One thing that I found helpful is that instead of working my way down from the thick E to the thin E, I go from the 1st string to the 6th. This means that I start from an easier position to a more difficult one because of the neck. It seems to help, particularly when starting off.
Just a thought.
