Nothing is easy when you think about it.Easy as in the first three times you try,you soung lik a god in that field.But you'll end up enjoying it tremendously,you'll wonder what you were fretting about being easy.
Besides,you actually did consider taking up the offer to learn.Which tells me you like music.Of course it's not easy when you play and your fingers hurt,but in the end(is this a cliche?),it will be worth it.
