Default Banjo Ben lessons

Does anyone have experience with his online lesson packages? He teaches guitar, mandolin and banjo. And how does it compare to other either book or video series that would teach similar stuff?

His shtick is annoying, but the lessons are good.

Good lessons... Try a month and see what you think. However, for me, I have have gotten the most education from these three sources: Homespun tapes. Toby Walker and the flatpicking Essentials series. YMMV.

The reason why I use his lessons as my main tutorials is because he has the pick strokes for the tabs. It really helps knowing if the note should be picked up or down. I wish I could find more teachers who do that.
