Honestly the time investment to be able to play a few songs is actually really quick on most instruments. Like on guitar you can go from having never held one to being able to play cool rock songs in under 30 minutes. Even a newborn infant just out of the womb can play a recognizable rendition of Smoke On The Water

    I mostly agree with you, but I think it takes a little time to be able to play in something resembling the right rhythm. New players often struggle with changing chords (even 2 note power chords) quickly enough to play something that sounds musical.

    But yeah, people would be surprised with how quickly you can learn to be a basic-but-functional guitarist.

    For sure, especially with today's access to information. Dynamic tabs, endless video tutorials, gamified apps, etc. It's the string pressure on your fingertips that you'll have to get used to first.
