I found this site through Fluids FB page. They have some amazing tuts on all things Adobe and after going through all the AI ones I was amazed at how much better AI can be than Corel.

Not free, but $25 a month gets you access to all the tutorials at lynda.com. If you conscientiously block out time, you can learn a hell of a lot for twenty-five bucks. Not just Adobe stuff, either. Month to month.

Lynda can't beat for ANY KIND OF TUT videos.  I have a scrip and numerous training vids on my HD from them. The depth of the videos they have is intense. I'm always going back to the videos for refresher stuff.

that instant shift link looks very promising as well.

Here's a good pen tool vid I found awhile back.
