I'm no guitarist, I have and play a guitar. Messed around for a while a couple years ago, and I found melodies much cooler and eaiser on the piano.
Why not both? It doesnt have to be either/or. The range of expression is in the hands of the player and each has its range and advantages.Greetings!
Lately I've been playing alot of guitar but my progress is so/so. I was learning the goodbye to romance guitar solo which is surprisingly easy, however I still feel that the guitar does not feel as natural for me. I spend a lot of time playing each little lick super slowly to get the muscle memory down.
Any-who, I've started college again and decided to start learning piano. I already knew a little about sheet music and so far I've practiced two hours a day for 3 straight days and I'm loving it. Even after two hours I still want to keep playing. The piano feels more intimate and I feel I can express more emotion as well as the notes and progressions make more sense to me since its all laid out in one straight line unlike a guitar where its 6 strings.
I really love classical piano and am learning chopins 4th ballade to start and i'm loving learning it so far. I know thats ambitious for a newbie like me but I already understand the level of practice it takes to learn this stuff. Plus I have two hours a day for 4 days a week in between my classes. I practice all the same licks for two hours straight so it becomes muscle memory and i'm actually making some decent progress. and Im loving it so far. I also feel a really personal connection to ballade No. 4 and it reminds me of a girl who broke my heart as well as the progression of the piece has lots of parallels with my life over the last few years.
Like I said it feels more intimate and natural for me when I play piano and I am just loving it. I don't know if this is temporary though. Maybe im liking it because it is a new experience? has anyone switched from guitar and piano and liked it better?
What's better than roses on a piano?
Wow I haven’t seen this post in awhile and I’m happy there is still interest/follow up on the thread.
As far as piano vs guitar, they are two completely different animals. I haven’t been able to play piano since my school closed down due to the rona and I don’t have a piano at home.
I also just finished building my guitar. I’ve been playing a little guitar but not a whole lot. I actually just started learning cliffs of dover today.
To me piano makes more beautiful music and guitar (electric) makes a different type of music altogether. I can’t really pick between the two. the mindset for composing music on them is very different.
I just hope I can play more piano soon.
Cheers!

Neither in a marching band, but guitar if you must choose.
Talent is necessary to play any instrument well.I am more inclined to choose the piano, as I have been playing the guitar for many years. Anyone can learn to play the guitar But I only play the piano recently, and I can say that talent is necessary for that instrument
