How's it going! I'm a fairly new white belt but semi-experienced in grappling as a whole with a wrestling background. Looking to hear some recommendations when it comes to basic concept instructionals like framing from bottom, passing guard in gi, etc. Any help & tips in terms of what to look for would be greatly appreciated, currently planning to compete in September so it's all an attempt to round out my game!

It depends on your style and who you'd connect to. John Danaher's New Wave Basics are great instructional but can be very long and somewhat dry. I've had a lot of success with Henry Akin's in terms of connecting to it, and his seminars are awesome.
His instructionals are very good as well. I'd also just keep going to class and ask questions of the upper belts and your instructor. Once you get Blue in my opinion, you'll end up going "nutty" with instructional from what I've typically seen from folks over the years.

BJJ Globetrotters YouTube channel has a stack of seminar stuff on very specific concepts that may be helpful.

Highly recommend Globetrotters YT channel. It's free and good quality content.
If you're interested in some silly half guard stuff, check out my YT. :D
