Hi bullet,

Go with the Surfing vol.1 and vol.2. I loved it and paved me with tons of info that helped create my latest Alien Nano. Jay has really done an awesome job. But the vol.3 is some how a bit hardcore for someone who never rigged anything! I will for sure go back to Vol.3 once I get the foundation sorted.
I love the Surfing with the Alien serie. Hope Jay will come up with more tuts similar to that.
