Great choice! I think you're gonna be playing the Yamaha more and more while the Technics starts to gather dust. I also STRONGLY recommend the Yahoo Groups started by Bob Gelman (another Bay Area local). You will get more styles, songs & friendly help and conversation than you can imagine. The MIDI songs recorded by other Yamaha owners can display the score & the chords (at least on the PSR2000) and sync to the style. Check it out - very cool & fun.
