Is learning guitar hard?
There's no clear answer to "is learning guitar hard". Science just doesnt know. But it's the question that people starting off learning guitar or wanting to learn wonder most, other than maybe "how long does it take to learn guitar", but same thing.
And if you're learning guitar, or have in the past, or if you want to, I'd love to hear your opinion. Because I feel like people's perspective on this question changes a lot depending where they're at in their learning guitar journey.
But to put it simply, learning how to play guitar is as hard as you want it to be. It depends on how you define "playing guitar" and what your guitar goals are.
For example, if you want to learn how to play a few songs so if you see a guitar at a party or just, around, you can play something, you can do that fairly quickly.
And honestly that's really not a bad place to start. At first if you only know how to play one or two songs, I wouldn't really call that "knowing how to play guitar", as much as knowing how to play one or two songs. But if you learn one or two songs 5 times, you're well on your way to being a guitar player. While I do think it's important to learn the fundamentals if you want to become a more advanced guitar player, I don't think that means you HAVE to start with them.
And there is an argument about if you rush that you'll develop bad habits. But bad guitar habits are better than no guitar habits if you just stop playing after a week , to an extent.
Anyway, in the video I discuss my experience as someone who learned guitar online, my progress, and more.
Thanks for watching :)

Steps on learning guitar: 1. Pressing the strings with enough pressure so it's sounds good (will hurt your fingertips) 2. Memorizing the shapes of chords 3. Switching from one chord to another chord (you'll need to look at first but when it becomes muscle memory by repeating it many times you can play blindfolded) done. you can play any songs that use strumming. but to play fingerstyle is a whole new level.

The most phenomenal thing I tell people is when you feel like something is impossible like say your first barre chord. Then for some magical reason one day it just works perfectly every time like you have new hands. Then for some reason you have an off day and can't hit it right at all but you stop take a break for a bit and come back and it works again. Idk that's my experience and it blows my mind lol

I've been playing guitar for 10 years but only started playing seriously when I got out of college like 2 years ago. I love it. I'm so glad I decided to put in the time to actually try to get better and grind through the sounding bad part. Starting to really feel confident in saying I can really play guitar. Spent a year trying to learn 40oz by polyphia and to see the progress is awesome. My sweeping still sucks in comparison to tim henson obviously but I'm leagues ahead of where I was last year. And next year I'll be even further towards my goal.

Been playing since early February, and you've been a huge inspiration. I agree 100% with enjoying it first. I started with Justin Guitar (thanks for introducing me btw) but after I got through most of his beginners course (was very frustrated with practicing at this point), and was honestly quite bored, i started trying to learn some songs I liked. I learned a few more chords that way and since then have really enjoyed playing/practicing. Now I have some momentum, and I can really tell how much I've improved from the beginning. Thank you for all of your content. Watching your progression in your playing and your videos gives me confidence in my ability to improve.

I’ve been playing guitar for the past 2 months and I would say I’ve learned a lot by then like playing frets, improving on my guitar picking, and learning chords. I’ve just been using the resources that come up to me like Yousician, rocksmith, fenders play and Justin guitar. Using all of those helped get me a better understanding of playing the guitar a little bit more. For anyone who’s still trying to learn guitar I would recommend using all the resources that you have. Look into them, play with them, do a little bit of lessons and keep on going. I’ve come to understand that I won’t master guitar right away as much as I want too but the good thing about learning guitar by yourself is that no one is forcing you to learn right away. Continue at your own pace but remember to stay motivated to play a few minutes a day. Set goals for yourself as well like learning 2 chords the end of the week, next week you can practice transitioning those two chords faster and so on. Remember it all takes practice and baby steps to get there where you wanna be.

I've been playing guitar for almost ten years now (since i was eight) and im completely self taught. The hardest thing is not getting discouraged and telling yourself to pick it up even if it seems impossible. If you ever get stuck, look back on those times that you didn't even know how to hold a guitar and see your progress. Not everyone learns at the same pace so keep going, you got this.

Yeah, I think the first year is the hardest because you have to put in so much effort for so long before you actually start to get comfortable with the instrument. It’s a complicated instrument for a number of reasons in my opinion. For example, if you ask even a beginner piano student to play notes C, F, then A, they could probably do it almost without hesitation, on guitar however, this task can be very challenging to someone who doesn’t have a firm grasp on the layout of the fret board, which is a lot of stuff to remember. On piano, you really only need learn how to build chords and can basically play any chord you can think of, on guitar however just building chords on the fly is nearly impossible for most players who aren’t pretty advanced so the only viable option is to memorize chord shapes and there are 40 chords of them just in all 12 Major keys, that’s not even touching sus, augmented, 7s, 9s, etc. It can be challenging, but anyone really can do it, and I promise you it’s worth every bit of the effort you’ll put into it. Once you get over that hump and learn some 1,4,5s, a few scales, and a couple songs, you begin to enjoy it, and once it starts to get fun, you’ll start to practice a lot more and your progress will accelerate exponentially and before you know it you’re a real musician explaining this stuff to other people who are just beginning their journey just like you all those years ago.

One of the main thing that changed my playing was to press less hard on the strings with my fretting hand, it helped me desynchronize the strength i put i my hands. My Fretting hand is very relaxed and can move around very quickly while the plucking hand can hit very soft or very hard I discovered that playing on a acoustic at very low volume (parents sleeping), playing almost not to be heard, my fretting hand was following the same strenght so thats when the light bulb came up, i realized i needed to keep that very minimal pressure and have more or less volume with my plucking hand

I just started playing guitar 4 days ago. I’m pretty proud of myself so far cause I’ve learned and memorized 8 chords (A, Am, C, D, Dm, E, Em & G). The frustrating part for me is making the chords sound good. Whenever I play for example the C chord, my fingers mute other strings and I can’t seem to get the grip of it. I know I have to bend my fingers a certain degree but it’s super hard. If anyone with experience could give me a tip it would be really helpful!

i’ve been playing 5 years and i’ve been called “obsessed” on multiple occasions, which is fine, i think besides getting occasionally stuck in a rut of some kind, it gets easier and more fun over time as with every time you unlock or learn something new it upgrades your perspective of the instrument, the more you understand about your instrument the more fun you inevitably have with it, anyway just my thoughts

I really can't seem to enjoy it. I suck at everything at everything sucks, so I can't play anything remotely fun or interesting. I'm really having a hard time pushing through this. I don't want to "push through," I want to enjoy it, but I can't.

Guys when I learned that a scale can be played on one string and that I found out I can make patterns that I can always fall back on when soloing, was when my eyes opened like I can reach the higher frets naturally without jumping an octave unexpectedly like wow

I’ve been playing guitar for about three weeks I’m not very good but I think I’m getting better everyday, I do notice subtle changes like I’m better at picking the right strings and moving my fingers across the fretboard. All I can say is I practice the guitar until I think I need a break then I listen to music that makes me wanna play the guitar so I go practice again and that’s what I’ve been doing since I got my guitar.

My guitar journey had some kind of rough start, I needed 3 attempts to get hooked. I think its super important to have something, like a song or at least a certain chord to look forward to. I always wanted to play electric guitar and to do "cool" stuff, so the first things I learned was the power chord. I wouldnt say that this was the right way to start, I would rather suggest to get yourself a "real" teacher (not in 2020 thanks to corona lol). During the first few weeks, practicing sucks. Your hands are stiff AF, your fingers hurt from the strings, and your eye-hand-coordination does not exist. So to survive this torture, you really need something cool, which could be achieved in the nearer future. I think the most important moment during learning is when you realize that you could practicially ANY song with your toolbox of chords and techniques. When you achieved this, you won´t ever stop playing :)

My sister had her own guitar and when school was supposed to end(it was around march 2020 where the pandemic started) the neck of her guitar broke and then i didn't start learning it. Too bad tho, i was really looking forward to it.

I've been playing for 25 of the 40 years I've been alive, and it is definitely the most frustrating and rewarding thing I do on a daily basis. I've come to realize that I won't have enough time in my life to get as good as I'd like to be. So I guess that I have to try and get as close to that as I can. I do wish that I had 300 years to absolutely master it, though.

Once Barre chords started to actually sound good I felt like a God, probably my most used skill now because I like to move songs around with CAGED.
