Absolutely agree with all that has been said in this thread. The truth is, a really great music teacher can get you playing simple tunes and inspired to practice, ofen quite quickly. But I'll tell you, there's no way you're going to be playing anything complicated "in a flash." My brother was visiting this weekend from out of town, and sat down at my parents' keyboard and played a most beautiful version of Fur Elise, and it took him 7 years to get to the point where he could do that.
If you want to learn basic stuff so you can impress your friends, buy an iPod. If you want to learn ot play a musical instrument, dedicate some time to it, and expect it to be a lifelong journey, not a masturbatory event.
Peace,
Pierre
