It does help. Sounds like either would work for me. I'm mostly interested in country folk/alt/Americana (Emmylou Harris, John Denver, Townes Van Zandt), and also actual country (as opposed to what passes for country on the charts right now).

I think JD was a Travis picker, I don't know about the others.

I just started Anders' because I felt like it would be good to have another instructor for awhile, just to learn in a different way. I'll see where that leads. I expect I'll do both eventually, assuming GT doesn't take down Lisa's fingerpicking course like they did her strumming course. (you listening, GT?)
