Guitar requires a few hours a day every day to become very good with the instrument.
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.

There is a studio in Baton Rouge called "Adult Music Club". It has beginner groups and advanced groups. There is going to be an article on it in tomorrows BR Advocate in the Red section if I remember right. It's worth looking into.

That's true. Plus, Fender's Squier guitars are outstanding for the money, so, anybody can try it without spending a fortune.
But, still, I find it difficult to find time to both work at physical fitness AND keeping up with guitar.
It takes a while for the calluses to grow on your fingers. It does NOT take long for them to go away unless you play virtually daily.
