How to unlock the Mael-strum achievement in The Sims 4 - Definitive Guide

To do this, you can either buy all 3 Guitar books (which'll rank you up to level 9) and/or buy a guitar ($600) and keep practicing on that.
If you use the 3 books, you can only level up to level 9, so you will have to purchase the guitar anyway.

I was able to get this by marrying a Sim who already had the skill maxed. Purely coincidence, but worth noting.

I moved in the nanny I hired (Esteban Rupp) and got this achievement along with the achievements for maxing out the violin and the piano.

Kay, so turned out I was not properly signed in and got the achievements after I signed into xbox live. Anyone having issues getting achievements to pop in this game may want to save and close the game entirely (by quitting the game on the home screen) and the re-launching it.

if just looking for the achievement itself, the sims 4 community has families you can download from the gallery that already have maxed out guitar skill (or just about to reach it), so that is the quickest option available

Well, in addition to what was provided by the other guide (using books), you can also cheat your way into grinding this skill.

So, to do that,you need to do the following :
Step 1 : Press cn_LTcn_LBcn_RBcn_RT, it should open a command box on the top left corner of your screen, press cn_A
Step 2 : Type the following into your command box Traits.equip_trait SteelBladder and then press Start to gain the trait SteelBladder.
Step 3 : Now repeat step 2 but instead of SteelBladder, enter the following traits :
Needs traits : NeverWeary (Energy need never decrease), ForeverFresh (Hygiene need never decrease), ForeverFull(Hunger need never decrease), NeedsNoOne (Social need never decrease). The only need that will keep going down, depending on the skill you're mastering is the "Fun" one.
Useful traits : Savant (Helps learn skills faster), MorningSim (Helps learn skills faster in the morning)/NightOwl (Helps learn skills faster during the night), sadly only one of those two can be picked.
{I believe I have listed all the traits I used to master my skills but if I forgot some, I will add them later.}

Once you are done adding all required traits, you can click on a guitar and select "Practice Guitar" and then speed the game on the fastest speed and let your Sim level up its Guitar skill. Thanks to the traits, unless you have a job, you can go from 0 to 10 in one go.
Yes, its cheap, but since it doesn't disable your achievement, why not?

Hope it is useful! Please do leave your comments if you have anything to add.

A Guitar is required for this trophy. You can level up from books, but you’ll need a Guitar to reach max level. The Guitar Skill is required for the Entertainment Career (Musician Branch). Playing Songs, Writing Songs, and Practicing will all increase your skill level.

Your skill will increase faster if you have the “Inspired” Moodlet active. There is a painting you can buy from the store (in Build Mode) that will activate an Emotional Aura that will give you a permanent Inspired Moodlet so long as you are close by. The painting, however, requires you to reach Level 3 of either the Painting or Writing career before you can purchase it.

If you don’t have that career level yet, getting inspired is not too difficult. Here are a few different ways to get Inspired:

  • Plunk for Inspiration (Piano Level 3 Required)
  • Pluck for Inspiration (Guitar Level 3 Required)
  • Bow for Inspiration (Violin Level 3 Required)
  • Earn the “Delicious Meal” Moodlet from cooking (Gourmet Cooking level 4 required)
  • Take a Thoughtful Shower
  • Drink Prose and Pop (Mixology Level 1, Bar Required)

Once you have become Inspired, keep playing the Guitar and when you reach Level 10 (Max Level), the trophy will unlock.

If you are completing Aspirations for aspiration points, you want to work on Creativity - Musical Genius one while leveling up this skill.
