An acoustic guitar is a fairly difficult musical instrument to play well to its potential. The guitar is a low tech instrument, taking two hands' fingers with placement accuracy of about 1/8" from optimal, often with even more precision. Compare a piano, which is a much higher tech instrument. One finger (or an eraser end of a pencil) can produce an accurate pitch with good tone. This is because the piano has a complicated mechanism inside of it to do much of the work.
