can't be too hard can it!!?? haha
How long have you been playing piano, and violin?
My sister has been playing violin for about 8 months. She preformed at a music show case in Dec, I think she did very well.
I've been playing piano for 4 months, but its still hard for me because I never learned to read music.

If anyone's interested in playing guitar, start out with understanding how to read tabs, and learn a few chords. Its so much easier to understand than learning to read music.
Example:
Smoke on the water...(everyone knows this riff, LOL)

e|-----------------|---------------|----------------|----------
b|-----------------|---------------|----------------|----------
g|--0---3---5----0-|---3---6-5-----|-0---3---5----3-|---0----
d|--0---3---5----0-|---3---6-5-----|-0---3---5----3-|---0----
a|-----------------|---------------|----------------|----------
e|-----------------|---------------|----------------|----------

^the letters represent a guitar string

the numbers represent the frets (0 means open note)
practice the riff (in even rhythm, start slowly, then play faster), then try playing along with the track
