Guitar-by-Numbers
Not enough time during your lunch hour to get a real guitar lesson? If you have a few minutes to put down that sandwich, Yamaha's new EZ Guitar can show you where to put your fingers.

The new instrument resembles a guitar, but with ridge-like buttons to simulate strings. Loaded with 36 songs (others available as downloads), the guitar leads the way -- LEDs on the fingerboard light up to show the correct location of the notes, one by one.

The guitar, which retails for around $300, has a built-in speaker but can be plugged into an amplifier.
