The hard truth…yeah it might be. This isnt for everyone. Not sure what the stats are but many if not most people quit guitar within the first year. They have the dream, try to live it for awhile, but get frustrated because it doesnt come quickly enough and then the guitar goes back in the closet.
Learning any instrument is hard. It takes a long time and not everyone is willing to put that time in. You have to ask yourself two things: how bad do you want it, and whats it worth to you. The second question carries the most weight…it means many things: how many hours of practice are you willing to put in, are you willing to accept that youre going to suck a lot, and that progress is slow and in small steps. Answering these questions for yourself should help you decide what to do.
And maybe the most important thing is are you able to have fun and enjoy the process in spite of the struggle? If youre really not enjoying it, then whats the point. Maybe time to find another hobby.
But i hope you decide to stick with it. If youre like most of us youve probably wanted to play for a long time. If thats the case then my advice is dont hang it up. But keep your expectations realistic. The rewards are there brother. But youv got to pay your dues. Good luck and all the best!
