...is going to learn

I'm wondering if it is possible to say this: "Peter is going to learn guitar".
I'm thinking it's not, as it sounds more like Peter wants to learn the guitar something, which isn't being revealed in the sentence.

If you write "Peter is going to learn the guitar", it is clear that Peter wants to learn how to play the guitar. But to make it even clearer, you can always write: "Peter is going to learn to play the guitar". Chris
