(Thats another question in people who thinks to start. I expect your contributions too. Here is what I thought.)
It is a very relative thing whether you find it difficult or easy but Accordion is not in the category of easy instruments. Because it makes multiple sounds at the same time (its polyphonic). You cant see the bass section and see the treble section not much. Bellows and bass side is moving. I make some suggestions if you suit these. You will have advantages if you are positive on these subjects.
- If you have music experience before, that will be very helpful.
- Playing an instrument needs brain - hand coordination abilities to some degree. Not too much but must not be low.
- Talent helps but you must have time to work on an instrument. Minimum of about half an hour per day in general.
- It will be better you take lessons from the beginning.
- It is very important to know note reading (Solfeggio).
Lessons will guide and prevent you from having bad habits. Not much people believe that but it is so much easier to have a good tutor that suits you than watching hours of videos on YouTube for free. YouTube videos gives an idea about what you may expect, but they are not providing the same experience and material with a lesson. Music is an art and a profession. You must work with someone who knows the business. The biggest advantage my (Turkish only) pupils say is lessons provides them a continuity and order in their hobby. You must be checked by your tutor while you are learning in every phase. Many people goes wrong directions without realizing when they try to teach themselves. You will have someone to ask specific questions who gives good answers too.
It is almost impossible to guess before you work on this subject. So you will try a couple of months to see if it suits you well.
