Will,
I too would suggest Draftsight. The learning curve isn't that bad and they have a very thorough Free Tutorial on the Draftsight website.

Too use the tutors you need to join the community and its free. Look in the lower right hand side of the above webpage where it says[h=3]"Check Out the DraftSight Resource Center"[/h]Tons of tips and tricks, flip books, etc.
Also since it uses all the Autocad 2D commands any Autocad tutor will teach you Draftsight. Youtube and the web in general have hundreds of Autocad and Drftsight tutors you can watch for free like the following.
