In summary, the article explores the complexity of quantum physics compared to the difficulty of playing a specific guitar piece. It discusses how both subjects require different types of understanding and skill, suggesting that while quantum physics can be conceptually challenging, mastering the guitar piece may also present significant technical hurdles. Ultimately, the comparison highlights the subjective nature of difficulty in different disciplines.
Impossible to compare. Across the population different people are going to naturally have better fine motor skills and melodic sense while others have better mathematical and causality sense.
Also easier is a misnomer. I'd be more motivated to learn this piece than to learn quantum physics. Also how deep into quantum physics do we have to go? I passed my intro to qm class during my bachelor's degree but I'm not research grade.

It’s not that difficult of a guitar piece, definitely a Newtonian mechanics level.
The playing is an athletic endeavor- mechanics of technique, muscle memory, visual and aural memory. Might as well ask whether being a starting forward in the NBA is more difficult than quantum mechanics - certainly there are fewer NBA players than people competent in QM.
Now this is a difficult guitar piece

It's a bit of a weird comparison. I can play a little bit so I'll say QM is harder. Only 9 years on the site so there is still time.
