As a counter to the advice from more knowledgeable folks than I @edmundro …
I have a fender GT40 (similar to Yamaha THR) that I used getting back into guitar during lockdown… only lasted about 9 months and have done nothing since my kids came, and space is a huge concern now - so my requirements are maybe different to yours. But. I’m planing to get a fender mustang micro for when I start again. Less cables, more ease, much easier to just get practising and playing along to tracks. I really don’t rate a full amp as a learning/ beginner practicing device. Realistically when are you going to be playing out loud, or noticing the accuracy of the cab sim? Not for ages, right? Micro is cheap, has amazing reviews, and you can get the mini amp down the line once you feel confident going somewhere and trying them out with your new chops, maybe spending more and you know you’re in it for the long haul, and getting something that suits you and the next guitar you inevitably buy once you’re back into it.
I also found the fender learnalong awful as I had some prior experience but from the sounds of it not much more than you. The first like 3 chapters of the blues one were tedious. There’s only 5 chapters iirc. And the songs are often very basic interpretations that left me really disappointed.
But also also that SG is super nice.
