Piano or Guitar: which is easier and more fun to learn?
550470
Piano. Actually keyboard. It is both easier & more fun to learn I think. My bf tried to teach me how to play guitar but it was hard for me to put my fingers EXACTLY the way they were supposed to be. To get the EXACT sound that the note is supposed to make, you gotta make sure you put your fingers in the exact spots.  W/ the piano/keyboard you don't have to worry how you place your fingers so much. As long as you're hitting the right notes. If you haven't tried the guitar I'm sure you'd agree w/ me on the piano/keyboard thing.\n\nBout what the guy said b/f me, keyboards are very lightweight as well. They also have more types of sounds. Pianos are very expensive. You can get a keyboard for maybe as low as $100-$600. Depends on how big of a keyboard you want. A used one would be the cheapest. Maybe check out garage/yard sales or even pawn shops. Depends on how many diff effects you want too. W/ a guitar you can buy amps but those can be expensive. It depends on what size & brand you're looking for tho. If you want a Marshall (what the rock stars use, check out the vids, you can expect to see a Marshall in music vids sometimes :P) expect to pay $800 for a big one. My bf got his for $800. A smaller one would cost less tho. But the amp that my bf has has lots of effects on it. The bigger the amp, the more effects it'll have. The more expensive the keyboard, the more expensive it'll be. Depends on what you want. Basic or instrument w/ more advanced features.

I know google and yahoo inside out and I've searched high and low but Im in the same boat as you are.  You can only find a bit here and a bit there.  Tell me what level you are at and i can give you a video to download of me playing the notes.  Just pick and song and I can have a video in about 7 days so you can see my fingers slowly.  I teach piano the traditional way but visually/aurally learning the song is much easier.  Classical pieces require the sheets but all latest rock/pop etc don;t.

Why would you give up piano?I've been playng guitar for well over 20 years and I've always been quite serious about it.I've played many other instruments in that time,but guitar was always my main focus.I admit as a former guitar teacher I wouls always recommend remaining focused on your instrument,but playin more than one my enhance your ability and creativity on your primary instrument.\nYou most certainly would regret leaving piano,but there is no need to do so at all.The only way not making a decision to play one over the other would be detrimental would be if it were your goal to reach absolute virtuosity on one.If you're doing it for the love of music there is no need to choose.

i would say that classical guitar is a very good stepping stone because it teaches the fundamentals of music and the technical sides of playing in a very thouraough and simple way to begin with. it also gives you a control on your playing which is essential for all instumentalists. it displines your playing too so you can always try and know what you are doing. mostly all western music comes from classical music directly or indirectly so its a very good idea to learn classical guitar.

I agree with am1benz answer. I would add, however, that when I first started playing bass for a rock band (I used to be a classical guitarist) I found it to be much easier than guitar, but as I started playing more complicated music (Latin, jazz, fusion) I found it required even more work to play well than the guitar, because the strings are heavier, and required greater dexterity in my fingers in order to play fast and with a consistent tone and attack.

i was 10.  now 23.  my mom started to teach me, and now i think i'm pretty good. but from what i hear, everybody plays guitar nowadays. it didn't take me very long because i really liked music and i liked it so much i just played constantly. i started with an acoustic and i think it would be pretty good to start with. it's basic and you can find cheap ones to see if you like it. plus you won't have to get an amp for it. good luck.

Music is a discipline.How hard it is dependes on how hard you study and practice. A decent first electric guitar like a Jackson or Washburn is about 100 bucks.

When I started to play the guitar it was really hard at first because i was new at it.  But about a year later I learned how to play chords and it got much easier.  Its easier and more fun when you get to make your own songs because its easier to memorize. You also have to be dedicated to playing the guitar, and have a good guitar teacher to make things fun.

I dunno anyone who can teach ya but,it is easier to learn electric but better to learn acoustic.\nreasons are:\non acoustic the neck is thicker, once you can train your hand to hold the chords better on acoustic you'll be better to play electric, but if you play an electric and your hand's only used to the thin neck, you won't be able to play an acoustic very well.

What an interesting question.  :-)  \n\nMusic, like mathematics, is in many respects considered a language.  I've heard it is true that children who grow up learning to play a musical instrument find mathematics easier than children who do not play an instrument.  \n\nIt's a well documented fact that learning one language exercises portions of the brain making it easier to learn successive languages, with each additional language being easier than the one before it.  So it stands to reason that someone who has become "fluent" in the "language" of music might find it easier to learn a foreign language afterward.

You won't learn the guitar if you keep hanging online!\n\nLearning to play takes time and effort.

I took piano for 8 years, dance for 2 years, played sports my whole life.  I love to play the piano more than anything!

if you play the piano well enough by ear, or read notes well enough to do key transpositions, you should be able to play most any piece in "C" quite easily. do not be confined to the key indicated in the sheet or to the key in which you hear the piece actually played. Enjoy!

You can use a piano. Just play a note, and tune your guitar using the little twisting notches on the top. (twisting tighter makes it higher)

It takes 8 classes (If twice a week) or say a month to make ur fingers'  comfortable with the frets. To start learning its alwayz better with the acoustic, electric guitar will be easy after your fingers are comfortable with the frets. Practicing after learning is very important. You can visit indiaguitartabs.com if you want to get the notes for songs. They are self explanatory. Get back to me in case you require any further help. Have a gr8 guitar day.
