Vidding for an absolute beginner

[dhampyresa]

For Reasons Not Worth Explaining At This Juncture, I would like to be able to vid. Except I have no idea how to start :(

Can anyone help?

If you're willing to point me to a given song (Youtube, etc.), I can tell you what the phrasing is doing. I figure if I took 7 years of piano and 5 years of viola, I should at the last help my friends out with my misspent youth. :p

There are also tools that will help you determine the tempo of a song, if you need help finding the beat. They're less reliable if the song slows up or speeds up or does weird fermata things in the middle, though.
