one thing i'll add--fender play has its quirks but for a pretty cheap monthly rate you can access a ton of varied lessons which mix up drills, techniques, songs, etc. if you're a 20 minutes a day type of person when it comes to practice i think it's a good option.

w/r/t piano, that's something where the fake instrument rhythm games end up actually teaching you piano, provided you get a keyboard peripheral, but that does bring up the idea of every computer already having a (typing) keyboard.

My thinking is that with just a bit of tweaked training, a typing keyboard can be just as expressive an instrument as a MIDI keyboard. In a lot of tracking programs, they even crudely map piano keys to typing keys as an alternate form of note entry. But it doesn't have to be limited to that -- you can have keys correspond to any paradigm: https://www.patatap.com

What do y'all think about a computer keyboard as a musical instrument as something you'd be enticed to learn/play with the same kind of dedication as with a traditional one? I've heard piano players with smaller hands complaining about the standard sizes of most concert pianos -- they wouldn't have that problem with a computer keyboard.
