Part of me thinks that energybending could be taught to anyone, by any energybender. So Amon could've been taught direclty by the Lion Turtle.

On the other hand, the color motifs used in the visuals in the Lion Turtle's speech, and in the Guru's message concerning on of the chakras - I think the one about illusion - suggest that energybending is the most fundamental form of bending, and the division between the forms is merely an illusion. This might mean that only the Avatar could learn energybending, considering he's the only one that can bend the four elements.

Then again, if the division between the elements is all an illusion, then who says firebenders can't learn how to bend water by seeing through that illusion? Also, I would assume that the gift of energybending would in turn grant you the power to bend all the other elements - 'cause they're all one. Or something.
