Kevin's Korner - Is It Easy?

            I've been asked countless times by prospective customers whether or not a instrument is easy to learn.  I know it may seem like a simple straight forward question, but its more difficult to answer than you think.  The short answer is no, it isn't easy, otherwise everyone would know how to do it.  Regardless of what instrument you decide to play, there is a certain level of commitment that comes with it.  Some instruments, like bass guitar and ukulele, have a shallower learning curve to begin with, while guitar requires a little more effort up front.  In the end, however, it takes just as much fortitude to be proficient in any instrument, as long as you still have the passion.
           As much as we would love to have them, no guitar we sell comes with talent.  We try our hardest to match you with the right instrument, as to increase the likelihood that you will continue to play it. We also offer lessons from skilled teachers to help you on your journey, but ultimately, whether or not something is easy depends on you.
