I'd suggest downloading some design freebies (you can start here: http://sachagreif.com/the-design-freebies-list/ ) and "reverse-engineering" them in Photoshop. Also, just look at other designer's portfolios and work you can learn most of what you know simply by analysing great work.

The problem is I don't know how to use photoshop lol. I prefer visual tutorials but youtube vids are severely lacking. The ones I find, are very photo centric as opposed to website design centric. Alternatively a good photoshop book for web design would be nice but I haven't come by one that is specific enough on learning photoshop

How about http://methodandcraft.com/?

The thing is, there's no such thing as "website design centric" techniques in Photoshop, except maybe the effects palette (but you can learn 90% of that just by playing around with the options).

The effects palette aside, all you need for web design is the typographic tools, vector shapes, and rulers (to set up your grid). So you can basically learn the technical aspect of "Photoshop for web design" in 30 minutes.
