Hau. Any help in learning to play should not be turned away from, but the learning process is a long pleasure and sometimes frustrating road. Following lights is not a way to learn to play, its a bit like using single fingered chords instead of learning fingered chords, single fingered chords still require up-to 3 keys to be pressed, so why not learn the proper chords, to me they are a short cut and a backward step that is difficult to get out of once you have started.
I have a friend who marks all his music with a red pen on all the sharps and flats that require playing, so any music not marked in this way he can't play?. He will never now leave this way of playing.
I wish you every encouragement to learn to play, but please give my above comments some thought. I am self taught and a reasonable player from sheet music, but I could not follow light on the keys to save my life,....have fun.
