What chords do you know?

What songs & solos?

What are your goals?

What style of music do you want to play?

Mrdime, your description is exactly how I would describe myself. I watched guitar fundamentals 1 in 2x speed. It took me about 2 weeks to watch the entire thing given my schedule. I found guitar fundamentals one had little for people like us, but I have the comfort of knowing that there isn't some golden nugget I would otherwise have missed. It is for abosolute beginers. I was tempted to skip fundamentals two go to the experienced lessons, but I am not going to. Although the techniques also seem to be lower than where I am, I again don't want to miss any golden nuggets. I suggest watching both fundamentals in 2x to see if your more advanced than that. That way you know you're not missing any foundation peices. Then move on to Exp. Lessons. Don't forget there is a Music Theory collection. As for me though, I would rather read music theory than watch a video.
