EZ Learning Guitar

Posted in Science and Technology at 11:13 am by Jeff

I walked into The Sharper Image last night and saw one of these:

Yamaha EZ-AG

It’s the Yamaha EZ-AG guitar learning system. It definitely would not qualify as an instrument to be used in any public setting or performance, but I wonder if it could ease the process of teaching someone to play guitar? I remember the seemingly insurmountable tasks of learning to play guitar (hurt fingers, broken strings, how do I strum?, where do I put my fingers?, which string is which?, how do I tune?, etc.). This product just might lower the attrition rate of guitar students.

Or, would it be better to just spend your $200 on a real guitar? Your thoughts?
