how hard is it

Does it take a long time to become good? Can someone give me a link to a video tutorial I hate reading books =)

Sorry, but with that attitude, it will take a very long time to learn, if you can.

This is one skill that if its not natural, (and from your post, its not natural for you) It can take months, years, to never -depending on your drive, motivation and determination.

It is not an easy skill for most.

So with all that said, step up to the plate, and accept the challenge!

After reading all your posts, you really need to spend some time browsing this forum. Theres tonnes of information on here, but no one is going to spoon feed you it.

Security pins, mushroom pins, extra pin stacks, different style keyways, there is many variables, like I said, poke around this site, and read up.

If you can pick one lock you will have the basic knowledge required. That is just a starting point. Some keyways are wide and open, some are so small it't hard to get a pick inside, let alone set the pins. You need to do some reading and decide if this hobby is for you. If you don't have the patience to sit and read a book you will likely not be an effective lockpicker, try horseshoes.
