burden
Is this the word to use when

" you take a guitar with you to a concert but after playing it for a while it is not comfortable to have to carry it throughtout the whole concert. Can I say the guitar is a burden"?

does it refer to the psychological aspect or the physical weight or both?

Other words to describe it?

Thanks

Answer

Yes, you can say a "burden" or a "nuisance", because the guitar may be too big or too heavy to carry around.
