Really videos is not the best way to learn (at least not for me). Get the MIT guide and read the TONS of stuff on this site (and you will find some links to videos too).

Also, learn to use Search before you ask, however, otherwise your posts will get toasted to a crackly crunch. :wink:

And last, but not least, welcome :D

I agree start with the MIT guide- it really is a prerequisite. Then check out some of the previous posts.

Ive just begin learning to pick and the MIT guide is really nice.
Videos are really nice to watch and so, but I think you dont learn so much from then, but its nice to see people picking, at least for me :]
I just saw h2h lockpicking or what it was called, didnt see so much what they where doing but I enjoyed watching it tho.

Well, Im going to check my mailbox for a book about lockpicking I ordered for some days ago. Awaaaay!

After you've read about the basics of how a lock work and basic picking techniques. Watching a video isn't going to help much. The best thing to do at this point is just to not give up and keep practicing!
