Is C chord on guitar hard?

Yes, this is a tough chord for beginner guitarists to play because it's spread over three frets, so it requires three fingers to be 'split'. This is hard in the early days of learning guitar as you don't have the necessary amount of dexterity, flexibility or strength in your fingers yet.
