If this is a hobby you want to become really good at then I cannot stress the importance of practice. It is not something that will come to you immediately but if you put aside a few hours every week then there is no idea how far you could go.
If after a couple of tries you may decide to give up then this will prove to be a waste of money. If you cannot dedicate time and patience to this hobby then I highly suggest finding something else that may not take as much time to master.
