I was able to learn in about 3 hours of actually focusing and not giving up. Here is how I went about learning over two weeks.
I purchased an inexpensive didgeridoo just to see if I could make sounds and enjoy it. I was able to do sounds immediately, which shocked me. Did a lot of research, found this site. Talked to some people, ordered a didgeridoo from here (am648). While waiting. I continued to make drone sounds and during the day I would exhale all my air, puff up my cheeks, while keeping my lips tight, I squeezed the air out while I inhaled through the nose. I did this for 10 days simply to get my mind and muscle memory going.
I also ordered the DVD from this site. There are a lot of great techniques for practicing to help strengthen your muscles. He also does some healing playing on this video, trying to follow along and copy him also helped me out a lot.
Once the didgeridoo came. I sat down, put in the DVD and focused on trying to really learn. The high back pressure helps so much, I am very happy I found this webpage and this community 
I will try to post a youtube video. I do not have any good timing or rhythm, it won't sound pretty. I will learn and get better. I have about 8 hours of practice in now and starting to feel a lot more comfortable, but still a little rushed.
