A lot of us out there have multiple resources for learning, the list is endless for the content out there. Is there a way of having an organic document that would assist in not having to purchase outside material ?
E.g... List courses/techniques that Gordon Ryan, John Danaher, Andre Galvao, Bernardo Faria etc have done over the years and then an equivalent Grapplers Guide video series....

This seems a bit silly to me. So you want to know which course on Grapplers Guide would be equivalent to John Danaher's Back Attack System? The guys you mentioned are constantly releasing new instructionals. It would be quite a chore to keep the list up-to-date. Also, how would they choose which instructors are included on the list and which ones are not?
This site is organized very well to find the techniques you want to study. I would suggest if there is an instructional you want, either purchase that instructional or search for the techniques that are being taught. Have you tried using the search feature?
Guys like Danaher, Ryan etc does not merely teach technique. What they have is their own system. If you want to learn their system, you need to purchase their instructionals which is really expensive. The value of GG is that there are vast instructors teaching their techniques. It is up to you to make it a system.
This guys been keeping some lists:

Danaher and Ryan arent really doing too much different from others. Jiu Jitsu is Jiu Jitsu, the techniques dont change very often but the meta does from time to time. Danaher is a great teacher but isnt everyones cup of tea. Personally he puts me to sleep. Ryan is a little more engaging but only a little. You can find great material everywhere but ultimately you will do your learning on the mat and with a teacher. A video will only get you so far and to be entirely honest, I dont think videos help much until purple belt, until then you're still really working on basics. Don't get hooked on the new shiny thing, stick to the fundamentals and you'll never regret it.

This is fantastic, thank you !
I think the question here is how do you use instructionals or GG. If you do not have a face to face instructor, it’s very hard to build a game even with all the instructional series available. I think the best way to use GG or any instructional series is to compare it with your own instructors approach. (Might not be good to ask ”what if” and site a video tutorial for a second opinion to your instructor). Just keep it to your self and try to figure out what is going on. Often you will get some answers when the situation developes in future lessons in your class.
Best instructional videos are those you film at your school when your instructor is showing a technique.

What an outstanding approach. Thanks for sharing this. Regarding the basic premise from the beginning. I use the Grappler Guide as my go-to reference point and training help. It's like an encyclopaedia. Love it.
