Marty Shwartz is cool and so is the Nextlevelguitar guys but Justin is the best of them all. Justin sight is truley free for those that cant afford it, Nextlevel charges for most everything, it seems its all about the money with them (cool group of people though). Marty will teach you some simple songs for free (wont try to sell you stuff constantly). My vote goes to Justin by far. His sight is complete with lessons and songs, with no catches.

how far does the DVD take me? i play for over 2 years now but still struggling with strumming and rhythm guitar a lot, cause i never really learned it.
Really need to be able to just strum some chords and tap my foot and sing along wiht it… but at the moment i can only sing along if my rythm covers the vocal melody -.- …

ahh but someone told me that it’s bad to foot tap.
What’s the benefit of it?

On the contrary. Check out a guy named Tommy Emmanuel for a reason to tap your foot. It gets your whole body into the tune.

It allows you to see and feel the beat you are playing.

I honestly cant think of a good reason for saying tapping your foot is bad. Unless you are using that to replace a metronome, then you may have an issue.
