None of these pursuits are nearly as time and life consuming as becoming a guitar player. But, lots of people have a guitar and can play parts of a few songs, so, achieving that level probably equates with wood-working.

Guitar requires a few hours a day every day to become very good with the instrument. Not many people have that kind of time to spare.

If he's trying to become a professional and concert level musician, sure. If he wants to enjoy himself and expand his appreciation of music he can fiddle around for a half hour or hour most days and more if he has time for it. You are assuming this guy is trying to become Phillipe Quint or a rock star or something. You don't have to be great at something just because you enjoy it. You don't give up on cooking interesting meals because you will never be John Besh.

If he gets bored with it and quits then it is no different than every other hobby ever that people try.

OP I have outlined the "Cons".

Here are the two most important "Pros" I can think of:

-- the inexpensive guitars made today give you more for your dollar than at any time of the past.

-- YouTube guitar tips and lessons: GREAT resource and is free. There really is tons of good stuff on YouTube for guitar. It's more easy now to be self taught than ever before.
