Is acoustic guitar really a difficult instrument to make music on?

I said no because it's a matter of perspective. How many of us have tried to intonate a clarinet, play independent hands on a piano, or tried to play any of the stringed instruments that don't have frets and require the difficult vibrato technique????? In comparison, learning to strum a few chords is relatively easy.

I once knew the jazz band director at our local college. Here is his exact quote about the difficulty in assembling a college jazz band each year: "Guitarists are a dime a dozen. Finding someone who can play a clarinet on pitch is damed hard to do."
