Guitar Lesson Overview
Here is a video showing what a difference in tone you get, depending on where on the strings you pick with your right hand. Closer to the bridge, a more nasal sound - closer to the neck, you get a more round or hollow sound.
The video is kinda short and I could have done a lot more with it, but my main purpose was to test the microphone (Canon DM-100) I got for my video camera. I was using the 120 Degree mode, a wider stereo sound. The sound is definitely a lot better with this microphone, I think.

Learning guitar at your own pace
I want to tell you about the guitar lesson web site JamPlay. They have kindly offered a special 7 Day Free trial to visitors of Dolphinstreet.com. I have reviewed their site, and I have to say it is VERY impressive.
There are lots of teachers and many different areas to learn from. It is well organized, and you can learn songs, techniques, etc - very complete website for learning. After 7 days, you will pay a monthly subscription continue. For the 7 trial, you don't have to give out your credit card number.
Go check it out and see what you think. Since it is completely free for 7 days, you really should test it out. You have nothing to lose. If you are interested in learning guitar online, you would be silly not to take advantage of this. If you do decide to sign up, I receive a little bonus, so this way you help support dolphinstreet as well!

Comment added on June 14, 2009I suspect that this also depends on the pickup you use (but I'm pretty much of a beginner - so I'm not sure). So, if you pick near the bridge and generate more of the overtones along with the main note, you'll pick more of them up at the bridge pick-up. And vice versa, I expect.
