There are instruction dvd's and for starters the three dvd's from Big Nick and the two DVD's from Dirk Powell are very helpfull.
You can also get lessons through the internet and I know that Steve Riley and Kaleb Leday doing that.

Maybe jam sessions too ?
The bestway to learn from scatch is with a teacher.
Lots of succes :-)
