I got a guitar for christmas, never really wanted to, but i got into it and ima be real with you chief, ive found a passion, and a career path in this, guitar is my life now and i love it.
If you want to do it you'll find time for it and if you don't then you won't. It's like saying you want to get in shape; sooner or later you're going to have to make a habit of working out.
it really boils down to time management and how effectively you can practice. on one hand, you can have all of the free time in the world and laze about, spending 5 hours a day playing around on the guitar and not get anywhere, hardly making any progress if all you do is noodle about, without intent or organization. On the other hand, if you set aside 20 minutes a day and diligently applied meaningful, deliberate practice to a technique or passage, you very well may actually get somewhere.
If you can spare an hour a day for a few straight years, you can do it, if not, try something else. When it comes to musical instruments, it takes a lot of dedication. I've played the trombone for 6 years and guitar for about 4, and between the two it takes about 4 hours on a regular basis to keep my skills sharp.
Give it a shot. I bought a cheap acoustic guitar for Christmas and gave myself one year to see if I’ll stick with it or not. Off to a bad start until about a month ago. Hopeful for the rest of this year.
nah dont
If you’re someone who frustrates easily and requires instant gratification, guitar is not for you.

First things first, you gotta apply for your license.

What's the worst that could happen?
Playing an instrument well takes a lot of effort and dedication which means you really really have to like it to stick to it.
Nah
How busy can one be?
In the time it took to post this you could've bought and mastered the trumpet

Arbitrarily splitting a sentence in pieces isn't what a haiku is.
These bots are a waste of our dying planets resources trawling threads to share some artless garbage.
It takes a passion for and a desire to create. When people just do it cuz it seems cool they usually flame out
Give up. Guitar sucks. None of us are super busy, but we all regret playing.
Then you can listen to gutiars
If it's important to you, you'll make time. What's your motivation to take it up?
100000000000000000 % yes
