David Hamburger seems to have lessons up in a lot of places so I don't know about all of his offerings. But I started as a rank beginner with his easiest TrueFire lessons and I found those really accessible to someone who had a decent understanding of blues in general but NO fingerpicking experience. My left hand kind of already knew a lot of blues techniques (some of which are used in finger style, some not so much) but my right hand had NO clue what to do. I was up and running in a couple of days with really easy stuff that at least sounded like music to me. And I've progressed quite a bit from there through a bunch of individual licks or phrases into somewhat longer pieces with a single note bass into two-note alternating bass and now into three-note alternating bass stuff. I'm still a bit halting with the three note stuff, but I'm getting there. Some of this might be how helpful I find the coordinated tab/video technology that they use in a lot of their lessons, but I think some of it is just that his teaching method connects with me more easily than some others. But the bottom line is I think each of us needs to find he or she who's teaching style connects with us and makes it feel most intuitive...

I would echo this mention for Toby. As an aside I had the pleasure of attending one of his recent gigs. I found him to be an engaging character and clean, subtle player with plenty of variation. Check out his tutorial videos. Pick on Slim

If you’re looking to learn old school pre-war blues, definitely guitarvideos.com. I’ve bought every dvd that Tom Feldmann has put out on that site. He’s the best teacher on that site imo.

In addition to all the great suggestions so far, I'd also take a look at this guy. I like his videos a lot.

I agree about Stefan Grossman. His videos are second only to these:

Slow them down. Copy. (Man, what did we do before youtube.... )
