Yep, did that. Do you take or have you taken lessons before? I guess my bigger question would be....How much would a teacher teach you that's NOT in the books? Do they pretty much follow those books when dealing with beginners? My thoughts were they're not going to "give away" too much as they'd rather sell ongoing lessons than just 1 book.

I did just pickup - Fender Presents: Getting Started on Acoustic Guitar -- A Guide for Beginners on DVD. Anyone have this?
