I've been spending a lot of time with materials lately, after spending a lot of time watching CynicatPro's tutorial as well as seeing BlenderGuru's PBR introduction I decided to put together some reusable node groups for future projects. So I thought I'd share them with you guys as well, because I'm just that kinda guy.
Hope you enjoy!

Thanks BlenderBrit, will enjoy looking closer to learn more. And thanks for your last tutorial, I enjoyed it. Reminded me of favorite college years and lectures. Informative minute by minute. Best thing is you can pause to take notes or take a break. You did give full explanation to each of the nodes you presented and that was a daunting task in a tutorial.
Sometimes on long tutorials, I will keep a notepad doc with the link and the time on the time bar if I have to leave and come back later.
always thanks you to, very good tutorials and information.

Glad you enjoyed them Ron and it's great to hear the positive feedback. Thanks for watching.
So is this more advanced than the Cynicat PBR shaders? Or the same?
It's not more advanced and probably not as physically accurate but it offers a lot of freedom for all sorts of materials, I use them myself and find the workflow very nice. Would love to hear your opinions on them after trying them out.
Thank you, not just for the shaders. I can't believe I didn't know about Ctrl T to add the mapping nodes. I could have saved seconds on almost every material, which amounts to a lot of time.
I arrived here in search of a PBR glass shader. Still can't get it looking right. I have a real life whiskey glass (sans whiskey at the moment, give me a minute to re-fill).......OK. And looking at how light behaves with it, at the edges it's brighter, even in a darkened room.
Unfortunately, every single glass I've tried (including my own) get darker at the edges :(
Nevermine, the dialectric and metallic are slightly more advances than mine, and likely to replace. I haven't tried the fabric yet, but I have a scene where I might :)
Nice job, for a southerner ;)
