Good answer from GT. We were all beginners at one time. I agree with the ratio of beginner songs to "regular" songs. It is low. I also think the idea of having a section within most songs for "beginners" is a great idea. It would help the newer guitarists to get the rythmn down and attempt the regular version and maybe vise versa. As for not getting our money's worth, I disagree. Let's remember that GT offers much more than just songs to learn. While waiting for your killing song to appear, try another part of GT. There are hundreds. Enjoy!
