How hard is it to learn guitar?

Question

Ive been wanting to learn a musical instrument for awhile and find the guitar appealing. Is it really diffifult to learn?

On a scale 1-10 , 10 being hardest. What you think?

Answer 1

depends. What kind of guitar?
rock - 7?
folk - 9?
classical/flamenco - 10?
punk - 3?

Answer 2

Learning guitar. Things to consider.
1) It will hurt your fingers to start with.
2) You need plenty of time available to practise.
That having been said, you can learn basic guitar (a few chords and strumming) in 3 weeks.
You need the motivation, though.
Hope this helps

Answer 3

For most people trying something new like learning to play guitar or oh lets say speaking Spanish can be difficult. It depends on how quickly you learn thing, and how much time and effort you put into it. If you plan on praticing for 2 hours every day then you should catch on pretty quickly. You have to set realistic goals for yourself and give yourself plenty of time to get comfortable with it. Have fun and enjoy learning something new..
I'd say for most people difficulty would be a 8 or 9, if you've never played before.

Answer 4

uhmm i would have to say that learning guitar would be a different rating depending on who you are, you should learn how to read tabs and chord diagrams. but guitar requires patience. at first when i started it was not that hard. but guitar is deffinately fun and something that never gets boring.
