I looked at a few of the lesson samples from David Hamburger of Truefire. I think I might benefit from his style of teaching blues. However, I'm not exactly sure which beginner finger style blues lessons to start with. I'm an intermediate flatpicker but have tried and failed a few times to progress with finger style.
I welcome advice here, as there are no guitar teachers in my area. Any suggestions from David's students would be great. Thanks.

FWIW, I am/was in a similar boat. I wasn't sure which Hamburger to start with, so I decided to start with
30 Beginner Fingerstyle Blues Licks You MUST Know. It's not billed as a structured course but it actually builds extremely well. The lessons build thumb and finger independence by starting with very simple lessons early on and then scaffolding/building from there. The only downside is that you're not really learning full songs and some of the licks are pretty basic. That said, each of the lessons works well as a vamp and as you get into the later lessons he starts moving between chords as well, both in turnarounds and song progression.
