I tried the Lynda thing for a while when a company I worked for gave us free access.
Honestly, I found more useful tutorials just by searching via google/youtube/vimeo...
Usually you have a problem you are trying to solve and really just need a nudge in the right direction, not a comprehensive tour of a program.
Lynda's comprehensive approach is good for people who haven't ever used the program (whatever you're learning), so that you can get a good feel for the concept. If you already know what the software is supposed to do conceptually, then what you really need is a specific approach to a common or uncommon problem. The latter of which is usually best found by searching in very specific terms.
