This is why guitar is considered a folk instrument. I think what’s cool about guitar is its low floor but high ceiling. From open chords to fingerstyle to Bach or other classical pieces. However, classical guitarists will tell you nobody cares when they’re playing something super difficult. Sometimes people just can’t tell the effort it takes and don’t relate to the piece being played.

As a guitarist I found piano even easier to sound decent as there is no real threat of accidentally muting anything or plucking at a weird angle. But if you’re musically inclined its pretty easy to tell who has dedicated the time to learning it well.
