Guitar Lesson
Generally to play most instruments is very difficult and takes years of disciplined practice. It depends to what level one goes to. Some are easier than others.
If you have a pretty good sense of rhythm, drums are a fairly easy musical instrument that you can learn to play quickly. Percussion instruments and wind instruments make for easy learning and quick fun.
Get good tuition. Music teachers, because they don't worry so much about "state standards" or tests, can focus on what's really important: learning about music. There is potential for developing musical literacy and creativity, it was realized that teachers needed new materials with appropriate skills in order to get music into the everyday lives of people.
Musical language is approached by ear game, sight reading, games aimed towards interiorisation (hearing the notes one reads), musical interpretation, and improvisation using instruments. It is not a must to develop adequate reading skills from the outset in order to be musically "self-reliant" at each level, and to enjoy the endless variety of music that is available. Many people use a combination of these methods throughout their musical life to begin learning and then grow their talents.
Because of attention span in youngest children, it is recommended getting started with group lessons. For example classroom guitar lessons give you the chance to learn the basics of how to play guitar, including how to hold the instrument, tune it and play chords. Some people want human feedback and don't want to learn to play guitar alone but can't afford lessons.
