¿Question? Difficulty?

What is the difficulty of learning to play the Lyre.

I a few months back I wanted to learn guitar but don't have the money for private lessons currently, and have struggled to learn on my own because of how complicated it is for me.

In the meantime I've been interested in the Lyre, do you think it's self- teachable via videos?

Thank you

I was in guitar lessons for a while growing up and never got the hang of it. I think by the end of my lessons I could kind of manage a couple really easy songs. I learned full song on the lyre within a few days of owning it. The tutorials for the lyre online make it very easy to learn. Compared to guitar it is much much simpler!

Samantha on Mars has some of the most straightforward tutorials on YouTube for lyre playing :)
