There are no "easy instruments"!. Not if you actually want to be any good at them!. They all require many, many, many hours and weeks and months and years of practice and dedication!. There are no shortcuts!. Sorry!.

As for the previous poster who suggested that acoustic guitar is "easy" -- its been said that the guitar is one of the easiest instruments to learn to play really, really badly, and one of the most difficult to play really, really well!.

If you want to have a prayer of getting into Berklee, playing guitar badly is not going to get the job done!. Its a very competitive school, from what I hear!. You're going to have to be GOOD, and that will not be easy!.

Take lessons, and be prepared to work hard at it, whether you take up guitar or something else!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

well imo, the acoustic guitar is quite easy to learn how to play!. However, if you practice alot i don't think there really is an "easiest" intstument to learn!. If you really want to learn the acoustic fast, then you can sign up for lessons!. If you dont want lessons, it is possible to teach yourself (like i am doing atm) but that will prolly take longer!. be prepared to practice alot!. Hope this helps!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

In my experience learning and watching others learn many instruments: The ease of playing an instrument is directly proportionate to your interest in that instrument!

ie!. Play something you love to play, and you will find it relatively "easy" to do well at!. And it will certainly make music college MUCH more enjoyable to cope with!. It can be a very stressful, competitive field of study!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Everyone plays guitar which lowers your chances to get into that college so go for an instrument that is needed a lot but not many people play it! For example bass guitar!Www@QuestionHome@Com
