I know there are a ton of videos on YouTube and I've started to look at a few. This guy seems to do a good job at teaching beginners:

While surfing around YouTube for suitable videos is ok, I'm curious if anyone might have a suggestion as to what they consider some good beginner material I can reference. It can be books, videos, guitar tablatures, courses, or any combination of those. While I've played a long time, I'm definitely a novice at bluegrass flatpicking so would like to start with something straightforward and basic, and work my way from there. Thoughts?
