  Scott Kelby is easily worth the subscription price. There are all of Joel Grimes (partial tut links above) and a billion others.

  If you don't want to spend anything, look for his App/Magazine Lighting Recipes (or something like that). I think it was supposed to be a magazine subscription thing, but never got past the first installment. Eitherway, it is a superb video series of fashion/beauty lighting tutorials. I've got it on my iPads.

  Mostly, though, it is setting up and playing. I never, ever bother with ratios or light meters, even when I have 5+ lights setup. Maybe I should, but I trust my eye better than any technical stuff (as does Mr. Grimes).
  Get some lights, a "model" and practice, practice, practice.
