Is piano easier to play than guitar?

Whats easier to play a piano or a guitar. ?

  • Um okay my mom and friends tell me i have an amazing voice, and they want me to play an instrument. I would love to play the piano, and the gutiar. What do you think? please help

  • Answer:

    The piano is easier initially. You just focus on putting the right finger on the right key. Chords and left-hand lines follow naturally. To play the guitar, you have to master more skills. After some steady practice, you can really do some great work on a guitar, but it takes a while. A keyboard also covers more octaves (88 keys) so it is like having a guitar and base in one. Why don't you try both? Playing the keyboard is a great way to learn to read music, to keep rhythm, and to make the left hand do different things than the right hand. Piano teaching software lets you connect the keyboard via MIDI so the program gives you feedback about pitch and duration of each note. When you switch to guitar, you already know notes,scales, chords and timing. Whatever you decide, play an instrument of your choice and have fun.

Piano, hypothetically and i know is harder. Guitar you can feel around the strings, Piano is 88 keys and hard to remember all the positions. Also, Guitar is easier for your brain to synchronize, as it only involves one melody. Piano, however is different. Usually, you brain has very well connected right and left hands. So if you play softly one one hand, it becomes soft habitually on the other. However, in piano you literally will have 2 melodies going on at the same time. Your brain is forced to multi task at an incredible rate, to to be able to play almost two things at once. More often than not, you have to individualize your hands to be able to play, and your ear will have to learn to differentiate to a higher level between melodies. However, Piano is also more beneficial to your brain as it forces it to make many more nerve connections, improving your ability to retain all those notes and memorize their places and be able to simultaneously play two parts. People who play piano have been shown to be better at processing numerical values and matrices in all respects. However, depends on what extent you want to go. In all my years, i have never become able to talk, let alone sing as i play. But that's because i play Concertos and sonatas, classical stuff that require more concentration. Most songs today are just repeated chords, and this is to allow a singer to play and sing at the same time. Guitar is the same. However, it is still must more conventional to play the guitar and sing. Go for guitar.

I cant really answer that, it really depends how you feel on ur wrist and fingers. Guitar uses 2 hands and Piano uses both hands also, but in more advance ways you also use your feet. I take both and they both are pretty difficult to play and understand. Guitar has different kind of strings you may like, Nylon are more quite and doesn't hurt your fingers, The other strings are medal, they are a lot louder but can hurt your fingers when you first start. It gets really hard to get used to not to look down at your fingers to see what ur strumming. Piano, it is nice for your fingers but very difficult to remember some keys. I played piano for 4 to 9 years and it is hard to remember the keys. The notes are hard to get used to and since on higher stances, it requires your feet as well. Overall i think guitar is better.

Tee hee OUCH

the piano is fun. plus you dont need to tune it as often as a guitar i play the piano and it is amazing. have been playing for around 8 years (im not that old btw) and i dont regret a single second of it. Plus, there is a very wide selection of music and its easier to learn the keys hope you enjoy whatever u do ~Paz

piano is definitely a better instrument to start off of. it's the basis of all other instruments.. once you learn to play piano, you can learn to play anything.

Well both are equally hard but if you practice and stay committed both would be great. Piano i would say is a bit easier, the keys are fairly good to remember and it sounds lovely.

Hurley

both are great instruments, i play both myself, but here it is in simple terms: guitar: easy to pick up, hard to master piano: hard to pick up, EASIER (i use that word with caution) to master.

i think u should play the guitar because im only 12 and im in a "kid band" and im really good at it. also the notes are easy to read in a music book

Guitar, it has frets and You can teach yourself to be a fairly good player in about a year. Piano takes like four years to learn.

KittyCorpus

guitar. b cuz you can use combinations instead of trying to remember like 100 different keys.
