Is it hard to learn the guitar?

Question

Is it hard to learn the guitar?

Answer 1

Might be hard at first because you need to develop calluses. But if you know how to play violin it might not be as hard since you probably have calluses already. Anyone can learn guitar no matter if it's easy or hard, it just takes determination and patience.

Answer 2

Depends if you can play it, some people can't and some people can, depends if you can.

Answer 3

I actually started learning guitar two days ago. It came with a DVD, which is probably why I'm learning fast, but I'm pretty sure that even without it I still would've learned.

In my opinion, learning guitar is pretty easy. I mean, if you play a lot or get a guitar chart it shouldn't take long to memorize the notes. And whether you use a pick or your fingers doesn't really make a difference, as long as you switch between the two every once in a while.

NOT trying to brag either, but I've only had my guitar for 3 or 4 days and I know how to play about 5 songs.

And considering your talent, you'd probably learn fast too :)
