My Wife bought me a Martin acoustic 6 string for x-mas. I have played some banjo, but want to get more time in on the guitar. I need lessons for sure.

I will finally be upgrading my internet so that I will be able to get youtube and I think there is lots of info there. Any recommendations for a series of beginner lessons?

Second Justin Guitar. A zillion lessons, well done. I learned songs that had eluded me for years.
