Hi, I agree,
If you wanted to learn the guitar there are good free online courses available, Justin Sandercoe, Marty Swartz for example plus many others. The courses are good and you can learn a lot and if you want to go further, they all sell books, DVD's and a lot of other stuff. It would be nice if Yamaha did something similar, a couple of good free courses plus a collection of back up extras to buy if you wished.
