I am a piano player and it's much better for composing on than a guitar. Fuck sex appeal!

But there's more to guitar then three chord rock. You'll look like a cultured motherfucker who can play classical, acoustic, jazz fusion, rock instrumental, and more. Not saying that the piano isn't cool or anything, but guitar is better IMO.

Why would one want to play metal on the piano?

Yeah, I agree. Piano is good for pretty much every type of music. Also, it is basically the perfect base instrument for someone who wants to get into music. I really wish I had learned piano as a kid. I'm thinking of starting piano next year (Mainly just to improve my trumpet playing).


Oh, boy.

I love the piano more than the guitar, but I'm such a poor fuck, I can only get a guitar. Still love both, though.

I wouldn't mind learning something else, too. Violin, maybe.

amps, pedals?????

All of this is opinionated, of course, but admit it - Piano will make you look like a cultured motherfucker and not some douche trying to play guitar.

girls don't like the cultured type, you only look like a douche if you can't play the guitar well, if you can play a pretty awesome solo you will get women

the best way to get bitties is if you write a simple cliche 3 chord love song for someone. it doesnt even have to be anywhere close to creative or interesting considering we have bands like nickelback lowering the standard for musicians.

BTW i play guitar, and the truth is you only have to be mediocre or better to impress people. The truth with piano is if youre good but not AMAZING people won't give a shit.

I think you'll find that there are girls who do like the cultured type and not playing the guitar doesn't automatically make you a douche.

I see no reason, to, and I will, spend all the money I ever make on the goal of getting and learning how to play ever instrument ever invented.

I'll invent a few myself.

I'm gonna take that as a challenge.

Why not learn both? I play piano, but I want to learn Guitar. When I for my Sequencing course next year after highschool ends, I'm going to ask about learning the Guitar in my spare time.

I play the guitar. I'd love to learn piano though. The piano is the most beautiful instrument to listen to, besides violen, which I'd love to learn one day also.

The Electric Guitar sounds great.
And, if you want beautiful sounds, the Acoustic Guitar can do that.

I've been playing drums my entire life, I can play bass decently, guitar horribly (don't know ANY chords) and I can play piano decently.

Neither is better especially if you think playing an instrument is making you cool? Its what you play and if you have fun and feel it. Play the blues and throw your tech metal garbage in the trash, which wouldn't even exist if it wasn't for the blues and jazz anyway.

So can a wind chime.

That's what I'm currently doing and I'm planning to stick to it until I become really good at it.

Well, just started this year, but I got hang of the basic notes and chords.

Everything I see is just a image of my thoughts "Always looking for a better day..."

Wind Chimes are annoying.

Your foot is only good for masturbating.

Yeah, but it's not as easy to carry a piano around on your back through the hallways of a high school.

It's not serious. It's just a conversation.

Little one line jibs don't count.

So, don't you agree that pretty much anything can be used as an instrument?

Which is why, I don't see how you could accurately put on over the other on a qualitative scale, because the possible areas of each one haven't even all been explored yet.
