Can anyone please recommend Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 tutorial videos ?

Hi Guys ,
I've been taking photographs for a couple of years now , on and off , I sort of know the basics , and I've purchased Photoshop Elements 12 as I've now gone on to RAW [ took me a while ! ] .
I bought a few books on the subject [ Kelby , Dummies and another guy who I've forgotten ] , but there's nothing quite like being shown how to do something , then I could feel confident and try to accomplish some enhancement of my own .
I could buy a training video , but as I am no longer able to work due to a spinal problem , I would prefer if someone would be so kind as to point me in the direction of some free tutorials on the subject of PS12 .
Anything would be good , starting with the basics , going on to some more advanced stuff .
I did look , but couldn't find anything specifically on Elements 12 , so if anyone could help me out , I would be extremely grateful .
Many thanks in advance ,

Peter .

Peter, when I was learning Photoshop, first one was a borrowed Photoshop 4, then a hacked version of Photoshop 7, I go to google and look at simple special effects I can do in Photoshop. Then I discovered there are more to Photoshop than I can learn about. I became overwhelming. So throughout the years when I was learning designs, then photography, I found I needed Photoshop more but I backed off learning everything about what it can do. I only google those tutorials (not video, written tutorials only) that I need to learn. Say for instance I'd like to learn "Photo merging" -- I'd google "Photomerging in Photoshop, how to" and it will turn up perhaps several instructions on how to photomerge in Photoshop and I will choose from those tutorials which ones I can do and follow...Photoshop takes years to learn when you are trying to make life too. So my advice is not to overwhelm yourself. Take on only topics you need or enjoy at the moment...

Cheers , Izzie ,
Looking back , it was a bit of a daft question , because all I have to do is google it , it's just that the videos that come up aren't what I'm looking for , I'll take your advice and be more specific in my searches .
I found a site who state that they show PS12 video tutorials , and offer ' free ' gifts of video training when you join , it just seems a little cheap for a yearly subscription , it's called ' Photoshop Elements Techniques Learning Centre ' .
Anyone ever heard of it , - recommended ?
