guitar
hey. ok, well, i'm 14/f. here latley i've been thinking about taking up the guitar. i'm a total girly-girl, but i just think it would be a lot of fun to play. but here is my question...is it like, really really hard to learn? i mean, i know it will be hard and you have to put effort into it, but i just want to know if it is super-duper hard to learn. like i said, i know it won't be just like that and you learn it, but if it is SUPER hard, then i might have second thoughts. and if anyone can give me some tips before i start playing, that would be great!! thanks!!!!!<3

Learning how to play guitar does take a lot of effort.
I've been playing guitar for a year or so and I've yet to even learn all the chords.
You have to be willing to sit down and have the guitar as your full attention for at least a half our every day.
And one thing before you get started, when you play guitar, it's really hard to have long nails. By holding down the frets, you'll get sore fingers and your fingernails are probably going to need to be cut.

I don't play the guitar, but I have two friends who do. One of them is a natural... he got a guitar, looked at a few how-to websites, and now he can play just about anything! The other one has been taking lessons for two years, practices every day, and is still trying to learn the basic chords. So I think it all depends on your innate musical ability. And you won't know unless you give it a try. I say, go for it! You have nothing to lose by trying it, but so much to gain! I think it's awesome to be able to play the guitar and I wish I could do it!

Well, I will say that you can play it the day you pick it up. I will not say that it will be anything special. You can learn one or two chords in a day,and just practice them over and over. One good way to keep at it is to go to tabcrawler.com and find the chords to a song that you really like. You can learn to play it and practice the chords that way. There are also books full of pictures of people doing different chords.
Also, learning to play the guitar is hard on your fingers. They will be sore after a lot of playing... just keep on it and your fingers will get little callouses so that it won't hurt at all anymore. Good luck with the guitar playing and practice often!
