Is guitar hard to play

When you first start it can be stressful because you are dying to be able to play fast and play songs that you enjoy. I started off with 15 minutes a day because I didn't know that much things on the guitar but eventually I built up to playing over an hour a day sometimes two. Just have patience and don't give up. It's a very good instrument to learn down the long run.

Difficult to play?

Depends on what you are playing.

You can play baa baa black sheep on the guitar - that is not difficult.

If you're trying a Santana or Lynard Skynard riff - those are on the difficult side.

Hardly, though a musical tendency helps. But not necessary, music is mostly mathematics esp when learning to illicit sounds from an instrument - any one. I taught both guitar and piano for years, I can tell you it's an intangible urge a person has to create music, and if you have that feeling, you can release your expression of it in music - I like guitar because it's portable of course, but truly, music is a language like no other. Everyone understands it, would love to speak and write it, and holy moley they CAN! Good luck, friend!

It just takes A LOT of practice.
Everything's hard when you don't know how to do it.
I can only play with the first string. (or the 6th string, I mean.) lol
