is it hard 2 learn guitar?

[hannahbobannah]

just wondering because i am about 2 take lessons and i dont know if they will be easy or hard. and am gonna learn how 2 play a guitar like heavy metal singers play. well if you know just let me know because i am just curious. well BYE

[brothahj]

it's not really that hard - well - maybe it is at first - till your fingers get used to the pain & grow some callouses. will you be playing electric or acoustic?

Hannah B:

'might want to follow the classical rudiments first before moving on to the "metals." Transition would be much easier ('have "metal-G" friends who are taking classical G courses to improve their skills). Anyway, that's your gig.

[BoricuaBoy]

Its gonna take a while to be anygood at metal. But metal is awesome as hell, so you should definetly stick with it. What are some metal bands you like.

[Fortunate_Son]

You should pick it up fairly easily, especially if you listen to a lot of rock music and have a good sense of rhythm.

your teacher will probably just start with a few simple riffs

[D-Fens]

Its not so much if its hard or not, its all down to dedication, it will pick up fairly fast if you try hard but if you think that you could just learn a song instantly or solo right away then your going to be in for a dissapointment, hard work - hark rock

[giutarman]

it isnt that hard
practice the penatonic scale and work it till your fingers get super super fast
then metal will be easy because your fingers will all be used to moving fast
learn fast picking
all solos are, are just scales mixed up
if u can play bark at the moon within a few months
ure a kickin guitar player

[chmybrain]

Its supposed to be the passion...if u're devoted enough.

grind your fingers on sandpaper, that helps the learning curve considerably

jesus christ!!!!!are u crazy?

[Musiclover151617]

Acoustic is easy, most of it.... i started just playing lil stuff and learning chords, tabs are super easy if you know how to read em, but thats really easy too.

[smelly cat]

yup, it's easy. i had a dream that i could play a guitar perfectly. so in the morning i woke up and went to the store to see how true my dream was. i dont think my neighbours like me anymore, but i think im a great guitar player

[alp_er]

hahahahaha its not that hard come on!!

[smelly cat]

nah, it's not. takes quite a lot of practice tho. but if you only wanna play simple songs like the one phoebe plays in friends (like the famous "smelly cat"), then it's really easy. actually, speaking of Phoebe, once you've learned Smelly Cat, you can play all Phoebe's songs. They ALL use only three easy chords - A, D and E

I took lessons for 2 months everyday religiously...... and then gave up. It is real tough and takes immense patience, sincerity, diligence and what not. Good luck mate!

[Sinners And Saints]

Learning Guitar is NOT hard, It's just a matter of realizing that you're not gunna blaze a face melting riff after three and a half months from your first lesson, as said above, it takes diligence, patience and you have to be genuinely interested in learning

[Luke of Metal]

It's easier than learning to stop using txt speak

[Inconsolable89]

if you really really want to learn and love it, then it would be easy..

[Daniel Terragar]

As long as you practice daily, and enjoy it you should be fine.

[instantstar111]

i've been playing guitar for a while, it's not that hard to learn...(:
