Out of all the talented guitarists on the web, which video showcases the best talent on the guitar?

I think Joe Satriani - Surfing With The Alien (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-OK7sS855M) Not because of technical skills so much (though he does have them!), but the pure genius of the tunes he comes up with. Enjoy mate!

There's tons of great guitarists on Youtube. Lately I've been watching the ones where people are playing Beatles songs. I came across this young kid with amazing skills. I've always been watching the videos of this dude with the screen name 'OneNightGuitarStand'. I have one of his videos on my Ipod. You should listen to his version of With A Little Help From My Friends.

There are lots of sources but you can't learn playing guitar on the internet. You can't take guitar lessons why? Too expensive? OK, but many self-taught guitarists get the finger and wrist positions wrong and they wind up with repetitive motion injuries. A good friend had carpal tunnel surgery last summer--both wrists. Can you afford that? You should be able to find a guitar teacher--try putting a note on a bulletin board at a local college's music department and see if a guitar major will teach you for a price you can afford. You'll only need a dozen lessons to correct your fundamentals, and after that you can rely on books, videos, websites. Just about all of them are useful--I'd look for books and videos on ebay or in used bookshops, and I'd try to get a lot of options and try them out, discarding (reselling?) the ones that didn't work for me. As a beginner, you might want to know this practice tip. At the outset, practice many times daily for no more than 10 minutes at a time. Every week, extend the time a couple of minutes, then eventually reduce the number of practices, until you're up to a single session of an hour or more. This plan yields faster progress at first, and it builds stamina in a way that is unlikely to cause tendinitis or blisters.
