Personally, I found The Blues Guitar Of Keb' Mo' DVD a more relaxed starting point to country style picking and blues fundamentals.
Fantastic stuff! I couldn't think of a better beginning for to learn a fingerpicking (piedmont style) blues. Songs are fun to play and challenging enough to keep you interested. DVD is just great; it gives you everything you would expect. Before every song, Woody explains what he's going to play and why that particular song. After he played it at a normal pace he plays it again very slow explaining his every step; on the video you can well see both right and left hand moves. The transcriptions are not exact note for note but are very close and the rest you can pick from the video. Highly recommended for anyone beginning piedmont style blues. The same goes for the volume 2. of the Art of Acoustic Blues Guitar.
