Hey! Professional guitarist here! My answer whenever I see someone on the fence about picking up guitar is always YES! as far as tips go, a great practice strategy is (at least for me in the beginning and for those I've given lessons to) was to use a metronome and go all the way back to the basics, picking chord shapes and picking patterns and starting slow, increasing the metronome by 10 to 20 bpm every few measures. It's super simple, but it's fantastic for building muscle memory and picking accuracy
