Is the piano easier to play than guitar?

What is easier to play, piano or acoustic guitar?

  • In school I have been given the choice of playing the piano or the acoustic guitar. I need to know which one is easier and better to play. Thanks :D

  • Answer:

    Both instruments can be challenging or easy. If you're serious about music, best one will be piano. Not that guitar doesn't teach you music theory, piano teaches you more and is really like the bottom of the pyramid for all instruments. Also with piano though you can play both chords and a melody, something if possible on guitar is a little harder. If you're not as serious guitar is best choice. I quickly, surprising myself when I started guitar class this year, grasped onto it easier. Another plus when reading music, it's only one staff(unless you learn bass guitar) so the music is easier to read. Both instruments are also very fun. If I were you and having to pick for the very first time(like I once had to do but on band sort of instruments) I would ask to be given the opportunity to try them both and from there decide which one is best for me. Don't pick on difficulty, choose on which one you'll enjoy best.

How about instead of just picking which one is easier, you pick the one you think you would enjoy the most. If you want to start a rock band in the future, pick the guitar. If you want to play classical music, pick the piano. If you want to be in jazz band, pick either or both (bowf)!

Guitar is MUCH easier to play than the piano.

I've had experience in learning both and this was what I felt: -Acoustic guitar was a LOT harder to start on, as it hurt and you had to put your fingers into awkward positions. -Piano was very easy to start on, by the end of day 2, I could already play with both hands. Crappily, but I could. -I've made a lot of progress on my acoustic guitar. Not so much on piano. I mean, I can play it, but I can't make it sound as beautiful as the expert pianists. But that's probably because I barely have time to play it XD It would be hard for me to say which one has been easier because neither of them are. Just pick the one you think it sounds better. Just remember: It's harder to start on acoustic guitar, but it's easier to progress once you get down the basics. It's easy to start on piano, but (in my opinion) hard to sound good. Another thing to remember: It will be just as hard to become an expert on either of them. EDIT: Referring to what the other person said about being able to play the melody and bass at the same time on piano, it can be done on guitar as well. It's the style I play and in my opinion the most fun :) It's called fingerstyle. Look it up on youtube, it's challenging, fun and sounds great. Plus you'll impress some people too, I've heard friends say "It sounds like two guitars!" while I play :P

It really depends on your natural aptitude. But personally I feel piano is easier because its not as complicated to produce just one note or chord.

Piano has a lot less technique for you to grasp initially. So I'd say piano.

I play both and they are both challenging in their own way, if you learn piano you have the choice of going to keyboards and have lots of backing to play with, modern one man band
