In fact, I don't think anyone explains things better. Check out his website justinguitar.com - free guitar lessons from Justin Sandercoe
That link is brilliant, thanks for posting.

I maybe have a strange aproach, but this is what works for me.

I listen to a song and start making beats with my mouth along the music. When I find something suitable, I make the exact same rythm with my right hand... somehow this never fails to me. Hope this is helpful, I'm interested if there are more people who do it like this.

Here is a link to all 70 of his videos.

YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

I am not much of a guitar player but I have spent my career in education and have evaluated many teachers and curricular materials. He has an incredible ability to explain difficult concepts in a very easy to understand way.
