As a guitarist I am fairly certain I could have someone that has never played guitar playing quite a few punk tunes within a week. Their fingers would still be sore due to not building up the calluses and muscles, but they would be capable of playing it. In fact, I suspect the most difficult thing in the entire lesson would be teaching them to tune their guitar by ear. If they use a device then that isn't even a requirement.
And yes there was some old punk that being in tune was not a requirement either. :)
