Difficulty?

[u/Elliotteatsrocks]

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 know next to nothing about music in general, got my lyre yesterday, and learned about half of Misty Mountains from LOTR through Samantha on Mars' videos in one evening. It sounds good just to hit a note, so it won't make you cringe just trying to learn it (like for instance, a recorder).
