is it that hard to play a guitar?

It's not very difficult to learn it, especially if you're musically inclined. Anything can be learned if you put your heart into yet. That, and a lot of practice. Happy learning!

Playing it isn't as hard as being so skilled at it. I know I can play the guitar but I can't do it like some of my friends who eats chords and shreds for breakfast. Learning it can be easy if really interested, I did learn fast when I began but, like most things I get interested in, this interest just passed and so I didn't get to be very good at it. You can still start learning and practicing hard.

Playing the guitar is really simple if you are determined to learn, you can use the search engine to get hold of the easily available basic chords like C G D E Am and many more advanced chords, power chords etc. But first you have to start small, learn the basics before you move on to the next level. You should be able to learn by yourself since it is easy to obtain the chords whereby it shows exactly where you should place your fingers on the fretboard in order to play the certain chord. You just need often practicing and you will definitely be able to play the guitar before you die ;)
