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.
Guitar Theory Made Simple!
Understanding I-IV-V is an intensive 65 minute video that will give you a crash course on guitar theory. It is not a complete lesson on music theory. Instead, this is the perfect introductory tool to get you started on the guitar, or to reveal the secrets of the fretboard that you are not aware of yet. You will learn why chord numbers are far more important than chord letters, how to write your own songs and chord progressions effortlessly and endlessly, and much more.

Guitar Pro
I use Guitar Pro for most of my video lessons. It is a great product that will not only show you the notes in both TAB and standard notation, you will also HEAR them being played at the same you see them. Very helpful for learning! Click the link below to try the free demo.
Video Clips
I have lots of gear demos too on this site. Go and take a look at some of my Guitar Videos for some examples of gear I use or have used.

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.
