Dhani Harrison, son of the Beatles' late George Harrison, works as a consultant for Harmonix on the Rock Band series. He worked on the original Rock Band, and naturally helped produce The Beatles: Rock Band.

"I guess I'm accidentally responsible for 'Rock Band' becoming the Beatles digital platform, but it was a no-brainer," he told the Chicago Tribune. "It's really difficult to get the Beatles to agree on anything, but I set up demos for them, and [music executive and Beatles friend] Neil Aspinall instantly saw the potential."

Now Harrison is working on the inevitable Rock Band sequel. "I'm working on 'Rock Band 3' and making the controllers more real so people can actually learn how to play music while playing the game," he said. "Give me a couple years, it's going to happen."

Rock Band 3 as both a party game and an educational tool? Sounds a little too convenient... Like Baconnaise. For the uninitiated, that's bacon flavored mayonnaise, and yes, it really exists.

So would you want your videogames to teach you things, or should developers keep their learnin' out of your home?
