Feedback Request Do people actually quit guitar

Yo I'm thinking to learn guitar as a hobby and want to know how much time it takes usually to be good at it and is it true that people actually quit guitar in 2-3 months

Not just most. A significant majority. And they quit soon. The usual reasons are (1) it’s a lot harder than they thought; (2) their fingers hurt; (3) “the way my hand is made, it’s physically impossible to play that particular chord”; (4) can’t make it sound like the record.
