Guitar - makes you look cool
Piano - gives you class
This is true, a very large portion of music legends from the 19th century and older... played piano🙌🏻
that sums it up well...
This day and age guitar doesn't really make you cool anymore. In the 80's and 90's it would, but today pressing buttons as a dj is apparently way cooler.
Both can give you coolness or class depends on style of how you play
i like a little bit on guitar because i can play more songs
Piano beginner: I managed to play any song already.
Guitar beginner : i give up.
*Guitar beginner: hold my powerchords.
I’m starting both rn lol
Guitar is definitely harder so far
Me: messes up when I play piano
Also me: plays guitar better than piano
My point is that it depends on the person. Some people have more talent in playing the piano but some people have more talent in playing the guitar.
this is my situation rn
At beginner I'd say piano is easier but by God does guitar make you look cooler
Piano makes anyone look emo lol
Both make you look cool. Piano makes you a bit more... expensive?? While guitar makes you more approachable. But both of them make you cool, in my opinion at least.
Who cares how you look.... guitar is literally 4 chords and you are considered a "guitarist" piano is much harder.
Lol nice Razer logo, I am an intermediate guitar player and wanna learn Piano to help my understanding of both instruments more and just music in general overall.
Both look emo if you put an MCR song on it
I'm learning piano right now to help with my music theory, and I now believe EVERY guitarist should. Music theory just makes sense on the piano.
Douglas O'Hearn agreed :)
@louis george Well, it also is just easier to understand how chords are built, scales, and most important intervals.
@@douglovestheinternet very basic stuff that is also easily learned on the guitar lol.
@@Sora-o You think it's easy to learn intervals on guitar? Have you looked at a keyboard layout?
I 100% agree
Piano is easier to start out on. But it can get extremely difficult if you want to play lets say classical music at a high level.
Guitar is slightly harder to start out on. But just like almost any other instrument you can make it as hard as you want.
Never choose an instrument by it's difficulty though. Choose one that you like the sound of and the one that has the repertoire/songs that you like and want to play. Those 2 are the most important things when choosing an instrument imo.
I think this comment accurately sums it up. No matter what your opinion is, this very true Mr. Vivaldi 👀
yes. guitar may be harder but at the end of the day the best instrument is the one you would play regardless if it's easier or not.
I love this comment's community.
Vivaldi, stick to your violin mate hahahaha
Wise words. As expected from you, Maestro Vivaldi.
I never knew you did piano, it’s like I’ve just found out my wife’s had a affair and I’ve just found out lol.
Thats an interesting analogy.. And i like it a lot. Lmao
Hahaha cause she doesn’t love you
Omg
Hope it’s all okay
Things went from zero to a hundred really quick
Same here lol
"Piano is easiest to begin, but hardest to master"
- someone in twosetvilion comment's
It is true tho. It is easy to learn piano, but is very hard to master.
This is true😭
try to become a classical guitarist. Tell me it's easier than piano lol. It's atleast as difficult as becoming a pianist.
Guitar is hardest to begin and hardest to master
@@bp.pradhan9494 no?
It doesn’t matter if you like both
Hmmm ur right
Hahahah ur pic, noice
But some people can only go for lessons on one instrument
You should still only learn one at a time. Learning two instruments at the same time, might lead into never mastering or even getting very advanced in any of the instruments.
@@MoonOvIce im learning four instruments rn. Ik i won't get far on any of them but they all are a different experience from each other. I suggest you to try it out.
I find piano a lot more "polyphonic", because you can arrange any song and still sound "complete", and if you are a guitarist and you want to arrange something you would have to be very advanced or have a base. And although guitar is "cooler", I actually find piano a lot more fun because you have access to a lot of really cool tone colors, and also, music theory is a lot clearer in piano that in guitar, at least for me.
I am Mexican, in case of any writing mistakes
I am a pianist. And i agree with your statement.
It's okay:^) I'm Indian
I'm an American. Your English is better than most Americans'.
Buen trabajo amigo!
The keyboard is the superior polyphonic instrument but the guitar is no slouch either. It's entirely possible to play 3-4 voice fugue on the guitar.
Great spelling! Better than my Spanish spelling haha
You can’t carry a piano around
midi keyboard?
@@digitalcyclone7218 I hate when someone tells me "oh yes, we have a piano" and then I actually come there and see a keyboard... IT'S NOT THE FUCKING SAME THING PPL
Watch me 😏
that is literally the point of a keytar
Does that make piano harder to learn than guitar?
Having the notes in order on piano is a definite advantage to understanding more about how music works. Learning a bit of piano can really help with overall musicianship for other instrumentalists
Piano From Scratch yea I would agree with that, some of my friends who play guitar and bass still play piano a bit
I’ve taught myself guitar just by looking at CZcams and at first it was difficult but now I can with ease. I got a keyboard and I’m trying to learn to play it and it is so hard for me haha
with piano and keyboard , synchronizing your right and left hand is fricking hard
Hoze 123 yes!! This is my biggest problem
Hoze 123 lmao yep
Theo?
If you want to cheat your way to getting familiar with what hands and fingers should play what on a song, CZcams synthesia songs and you'll pick up loads (piano player of 10 years). It definitely won't teach you a damn thing about playing correctly or staff, or anything for that matter, but it can at least give you a hint at where to improve your dexterity
You're exactly right! Playing the piano led me into synthesizers, (vintage) keyboards and production. Playing bass led me into self-learning guitar and a bit ukulele and I have many advantages with string instruments.
Keytar! Problem solved.
Well...
Genius...
Guitar vs piano?
GIORNOO GIOVANNAAAA!!! :V
Gus
Wow wow wow. Slow down buddy. That level of smart is not allowed here.
I love how just knowing the fretboard and keys makes it so easy to play piano melodies on guitar or guitar riffs on piano.
For sure, being comfortable on knowing the fretboard makes everything so much easier in my opinions
Andy is full of surprises.
as a beginner for both piano(I've been playing piano longer) and guitar, i think that piano is easier to learn. but once you get the basics it gets harder to master. guitar is harder to learn and get the hands perfect, but it's easier to get good at
Obviously not. Try classical guitar. I've been playing guitar since 10 years old. Now shifting to classical in my 30's I found it harder than playing piano. I played both by the way.
I am 17, I learned how to play the piano myself and now I am thinking about grabbing the guitar that has been sitting in my living room for years. That's why I am here
Finally found a person like me
Give some tips I'm 18 and playing piano is so difficult. I just bought a piano. Give tips on how to start and what to do next
Im a guitarist and tryn to learn piano, I found out that piano is harder than guitar
On piano you can arrange every single song ever written and make It sound good thanks to the variety of possible accompaniments, while on guitar, unless you are at a god level, you will probably need a base to play on.
So if you play alone maybe piano is the best choice.
Furthermore guitar is less suitable for some genres, such as disco music or classical music (that also on piano is hard, but on guitar is crazy)
On the other hand guitar easily wins if it's about playing in a band, especially for rock music. Guitar Is also more espressive thanks to vibrato, bending, slide, etc
Learning both is the best choice
Guitar is very suitable for classical music and there are countless pieces for guitar written in 19th/18th century, but they're mostly unknown compared to piano or violin repertoire from that time.
Guitar can literally be called a piano of string instruments having the same ability to play for example many harmonies at the same time, even Beethoven was amazed by guitar when he first heard it(edit. He wasn't deaf at that time yet so could hear it)
(ik piano is a string instrument as well, by string instrument I mean instruments of which you actually touch the strings by yourself)
🅱️ass
Ahaha thats my boy guitar is the best instrument
@@alfredanto05 u know BASS IS JUST LIKE ASS
@@metalshinobi2900 boob + ass= bass
Piano is a far easier instrument to learn. There are so many different tunings on guitar and all require different fingerings for various chords. A younger player will struggle with getting clean sounding chords on a guitar because of the psychical strength required and the unnatural contortions needed to form various chord shapes. Music theory is easier to understand on a piano because it's laid out from left to right making scales understandable along with transposing. Where guitar shines is being portable and more affordable. Writing songs I find both instruments useful for coming up with ideas.
I play both. Piano is easy to learn but fking hard to master. To be good you have to train decades. Well also a problem is pianos often are soloists and mistakes can be fatal.
Guitar is relatively hard to learn because of the tunings ect. But compared, once you learned it... it’s way more easy to master..
Edit: guys chill, it was auto correction but I appreciate people are still replying 1 year after 😂
@@avinci3116 A guitar is unbelievably easy to master? lol
@@avinci3116 did you really just say guitar is unbelievably easy to master?
I absolutely, 100 percent agree with you. Anyone can strike a clean note on a piano immediately....not so on guitar!
I have been playing guitar for 1 year, 2 hours a day
At the first month i could easily play any chord
3rd month, play solos
6th month, fingerstyle
8th month, fingerstyle with percusión
Guitar, I think, is a generally hard instrument because the strings are so easily muted, whereas on piano, the keys only need pressing down, which makes things much easier imo
JayKay04 then again, things in high level piano pieces are extremely difficult on piano as you have a much larger canvas to work on whereas with guitar you can move your fingers to a lot more frets a lot quicker and a lot easier (hammer ons & pull offs exist, for example, and if U need a fret that is high up on the string, you can just slightly adjust your hand to the next string, while on piano you’d need to move your hand much further up to do the same thing)
@@ayhamshaheed7740 yeah, I agree. I would probably say that guitar is harder to play at a beginner level, and then they even out as you go up in levels? I think the way you play guitar is quite hard to get down if you're a beginner, even if you're playing simple chords or just single notes, but piano is less "fiddly". As you go up in difficulty, though piano has it's own challenges, so I'd say they get pretty even in difficulty at that point.
JayKay04 yeah fair enough. Although I only found guitar difficult as a complete beginner, but after maybe a few days I felt pretty good about myself. As I’ve gone into more complex stuff though, the further you get the harder you get, but at least you get comfortably with initially difficult stuff like picking accurately and with speed. With my piano playing, I found it quite easy initially but that was mainly because I was playing really low level stuff, and I never bothered learning complete songs. If you know where to look, you’ll see how difficult it gets. And that’s how it is for most instruments, if not all.
Guitar imo is much more about the notes you chose to play, rather than how you play them.
I would say writing quality musical ideas is the hardest skill, by far. And some pianists write their own work, but guitar pushes you to do it, where as piano you can keep scaling into more difficult pieces by others indefinitely and no one will beat an eye if you cant write something of comparable quality yourself
Agreed I think guitar is harder for beginners, but when you graduate it evens out and piano becomes harder when you play some very difficult pieces
been following the guitar channel for over a year now, had no idea you had a piano channel as well, will definitely check it out
Happy new year , I thought your piano tube was dead last time I checked there was nothing new, very glad to hear it’s active.
You’re a great teacher on both instruments, keep up the good work
Your analysis is so precise ,nothing vague.Its so scientific.God bless you.
As someone who plays both (and bass guitar) at an intermediate level, I can say that piano is easiest to start on, because the physical technique of pressing down keys is more intuitive than fretting and plucking strings on a guitar. However, guitar wins in the beginner stages because once you have the fretting and plucking technique down, and know basic chord shapes, you can play along to many popular tunes fairly easily. The relative isomorphism of guitar means you can learn shapes and move them about the neck, reducing the learning curve. The beauty of guitar is its portability, relative ease of transposition and the harmonic language it speaks. There are also a whole host of alternative techniques like two-hand tapping, percussive plucks and slaps, harmonics, etc, that can spice up your playing.
But, piano has far more repertoire, going back over 600 years of keyboard music. And, the most difficult pieces on piano are MUCH HARDER than anything on guitar. Something like Ligeti's Etude 13: "The Devil's Staircase" or Schumann’s Toccata in C Major Op. 7 are way harder then even the most blistering Eddie Van Halen or Steve Vai or Dragonforce solos, in my opinion. Pianos (and keyboard music in general) allow for much greater counterpoint and richer harmonic possibilities than the guitar. For that reason, the advanced pieces tend to be very complex and contrapuntal.
The easiest piano music is easier than the easiest guitar music, but the hardest piano music is way harder then anything on guitar.
So basically, here's a chart explaining myself:
VERY EASY|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|SUPER HARD
|-----------------------------| Guitar
|----------------------------------------------------------| Piano
Underrated dude
The Best explanation yet
Frantically waiting on Andy Kazoo!
Andy spoons
Love both your channels, ive learnt lots playing both instruments from your videos, thanks Andy !
Fantastic video! Excellent idea. I like your analysis. I have a guitar and a keyboard, but I've spent much more time with the guitar for the very reasons you mention.
Point two is really the decider for me. There is a reason why bands typically have two guitars. To play rhythm/bass and lead on a single guitar and make it sound warm and full on its own is something I can still only do with a few songs even after playing for several years. With the piano I could do more songs like that after only a couple of months.
You can quickly become okay at either and you can master them both to levels that may seem unachievable to most. However, piano is a broader instrument with more possibilities than maybe any other instrument, so there is additional room to grow into. That doesn't mean you top at guitar either for you can eventually start to learn to play with variations and nuances of the instrument itself, which is impossible to do with a piano. There are very difficult things to play in both. So, chose based on what you like. Unless you want to get into composing, in that case piano is your everything.
am i still an auto-didactic (self taught) musician if i learn from youtube?
I think yes. though i have been procrastinating a private lesson(s) from Andy. due to budget constraints, but i want to pay back for all the free content i've learned from here over the years
Here's my two cents. If you want to make your own music on any genre from Classical to EDM, definitely piano (or an instrument with a piano layout) as it's much easier to understand music theory on a piano layout. Aside from that, the "easier" intrument is really contingent on the player. If the player is interested in learning guitar and aspires to play certain guitar centric songs, then definitely guitar and vice versa. Motivation is after all what gets you to a certain level.
I'm pretty good at guitar at this point and learning music theory on keybaord. If you're really passionate about composing music, regardless of which instrument you play, working on an instrument with a piano layout can do wonders for understanding how existing compositions are written and ergo you'll be able to write your own stuff.
Piano can be more easily learned with formulas. Once you know the formula for creating major and minor chords, they can be applied to any key. With guitar you have a lot more memorization.
I’ve been playing piano for nearly 12yrs and it’s honestly one of my favourite pastimes l prefer playing very mellow and airy songs but damn it feels awesome when you play something like Queen and really smash those keys 👏🏼♥️
You have helped me so much with learning to play guitar 🎸 I’m thinking of borrowing my daughters full size keyboard and trying to start learning that now 👌😉 . Thanks Andy Top Man!
Had no clue you had a piano channel! Will definitely have to give a run through that content since I just snagged a keyboard
And now? what is the statement? or maybe triangle? It's better to play guitar, because it's not so heavy to bring it to a campfire...
3 years I started learning piano with you.
Now I am learning guitar with you, started
3 months ago.
My opinion the guitar is harder then the piano. I am suffering getting to remember that fret board. And when they say a 2 5 1. You are an awesome teacher. Thank you 😊
You have kept me sane after my retirement. The guitar is definitely a challenge. You keep me interested in the guitar. God Bless everything you do.
Piano is easier for you to learn. Guitar between pentatonic scales major minor 5 or 7 or 12 . Etc
It's crazy 🤪
I think playing the piano helps with understanding music theory. As you said, many people only see the open guitar chords as shapes and does not know how to invert them or play them on other parts of the neck
Yes, working with FL studio has helped me increase my perception of music and also my guitar skills.
Let’s be honest guitar is 100000 times harder for a beginner
Mastering one before learning the other will always be an advantage. I've played guitar for 30 years (since i was a child) know all my scales , chords etc can play lead , accoustic , classical and decided about a year ago to try learn piano and it wasn't as hard as I thought as I already understand chords, root notes , scales so was a massive head start
I’d also say that learning piano will help with playing drums just based on the fact that you are playing a different rhythm with each hand and operating pedals with your feet. Will you play like Bonham Gadd or Buddy Rich, no, not right away, but it will definitely help and vice versa, learning drums to learning piano
Thank you! It was very helpful!
I play both and I love both. Some days I have tried to commit just to one of them but I just cant. They are beautiful in its unique way. Another advantage of guitar is... you can take it wherever you go. On the piano, since I recently started with music production, OMG piano is sooooo helpful. And also Harmony is easier understood on piano. The guitar has also the advantage that there are more tutorials out there. I do struggle with finding piano tutorials. There are not many piano accompaniment, most of them are for people who just play piano. And also most of them are paid
not to mention every single piano tutorial is a sing-along version instead of the actual piano parts. which greatly pisses me off that i have to translate guitar tabs just to figure songs out
Just started taking guitar lessons but would love to play a keyboard too. I personally feel a keyboard would be easier technique wise than a guitar.
I started learning guitar at 8 yrs old. Picked up drums at 16, which became my main instrument for the next 30 years. And 40-odd years after starting guitar I finally got serious about piano. Hands down, piano is the most difficult. Any instrument can take a lifetime to master, if you really want to dig into it, but basic levels of proficiency are much harder on piano than guitar or drums. That's been my experience anyway.
with piano and keyboard , synchronizing your right and left hand is fricking hard
I think piano gives you better musical intuition on where notes are and their relationship. Piano is also much better at keys, playing in e flat or d flat in guitar without having to think about scale shape is hard.
That being said guitar teaches you alot about phrasing which is something you just really cant do as expressively on piano.
Its my goal to learn different keys ( playing in e minor or a minor is so easy but in jazz have to know where the keys are on the entire fretboard ). :)
Started on Piano 16 months ago (see my chan for progress vid...)
Got to Grade 4 ABRSM playing Classical, Pop and Blues...
Acoustic Guitar 6 days ago
Pretty sure Guitar is - PHYSICALLY - harder...
Sure I know some Theory now,
I "know the chords" and can make the shape,
But mute one string,
Make another one buzz,
I genuinely think starting with Guitar has been MUCH harder!
But I also know once I get the main chords down, I can mostly just whack a CAPO on and play the backing for almost all pop music quite easily.
So the answer is... Guitar, and Piano, and Neither, and It Depends.
Probably Descant Recorder.
Pllaying guitar over 10 years, recently ended up with a casio keyboard from a friend clearing out a house.. The scales are all laid out in front of you and there's only one "string" to focus on. There's a time and a place to play piano. There's a time and place to play guitar. I was grateful for the knowledge I picked up learning to play guitar and was shocked how simple the piano scales are compared to axe
I am now at the stage where I play fingerstyle songs (the thing Andy did with happy birthday) on guitar and also figure stuff out by ear. But when I get stuck, I look up a piano lesson most of the time, because I can see the melody rather than just chords. So for me, although I do not play the piano, those lessons are very useful
Piano is easy to start with as a beginner (you can even play single notes of songs on the first day) but it doesn't get easier afterwards, so many lessons and it's extremely difficult to master. But it's classic
I honestly think that piano is easier to self learn, since technique( picking, holding the guitar) is more complex regarding guitar. It may discourage the learner to leave the instrument.
@Matt Vinci Yeah what I wasn't saying that guitar is a better instrument....
@@rishitgarg4222 piano is way easier to start for sure, but play for a while and you get into chopin and liszt, harder than their hard guitar contemporaries.
@@c00kedmilk that's completely true. All I'm saying is that it's much simpler to grasp piano, but definitely not easier. You can't compare the difficulty level of 2 instruments.
@@rishitgarg4222 meh, true, but I still think piano is the hardest instrument to master, considering all the repetoire
Good vid! I think working out key changes and song structure is more apparent on keys because of the arrangement.. But guitar is an open instrument, so you can technically do more with it, bends, pinch harmonics, etc but u need keys as a learning reference at least in your head unless your a Jimmy and can little wing it
Do both! I started with guitar. It was hard for me, took a few months to get decent but now I'm comfortable after 2 years playing my favorite songs for everyone (green day, nirvana, gun's n roses, rock that's not too technical lol). I realized that a lot of my favorite songs include piano as well, I tried playing piano riffs on guitar and that wasn't working for me. Now I'm trying piano, I was pleasantly surprised how easily the music theory I learned translated over to the piano (now that I think about it, why wouldn't it?). I learned my first song (Alexander's Ragtime Band) In a few hours. And now I'm learning more. I do not have to take a break because of bleeding fingers either. Piano brought a new set of challenges for sure, but my previous guitar experience made it way easier to troubleshoot and work out.
I agree on this one. Im a guitar player for 5 years (practicing an average of 3 hours per day). I just started playing piano a month ago. After just one month, I can play all my favorite pop/gospel songs on piano.
I bought guitar recently and tried to play simple chords but it's way more harder than I thought, so I am thinking of quitting and starting on keyboard .
For me, guitar is something fun with raw beauty and sound but piano goes for polished gorgeousness and etiquette with the touch of aesthetics.
I liked your presentation Andy
My Vote goes to guitar as a favorite because of its simplicity in carrying the instrument
Thank you for sharing your opinion. I appreciate it
I like the shameless plug. I will definitely have a look because I like the way you teach 👍
When's Andy Home Recording Channel - a Focusrite Solo with free pro tools/Ableton options
I have learned to play the finger style of the happy birthday song, and i was so thankful until i saw that there other ways to play it. Please do another tutorial. Btw thanks for everything, i had no knowledge at all in playing guitar, and now i know most of the chords and couple of songs to play.
i have a keyboard and a harmonium which i bought to practice my vocals or singing..... nothing is easy when you first ever start music.... And it was difficult for me to play the keyboard but my main focus has always been vocals but recently i bought guitar just out of curiosity.... and i want to share my personal experience that it is lot harder on guitar because it is a string instrument...in piano you press a key and the melody comes out but in string instruments you have to practice alot to even press the chords or tabs property so the melody comes out properly.... string instruments are difficult for me....but every instrument is difficult when you have to play it on professional level.... I am not a instrument guy but still i would say string instruments are difficult then piani or a keyboard...
i am kinda bad with all keyboard/piano stuff, but guitar is fun, and the first thing i learned was from andy guitar ^^
Surprised. As a guitar player I thought Piano was an easier instrument as you have all notes laid out in a line easy to see.
Ok now play 16th note 7ths
Sure, that is an advantage, but the hard part is playing music fast enough and hitting the right notes and mastering songs
it's easy basic chords lol while guitar u need to 1st learn proper position of hands
I think this is a very accurate assessment of both instruments. That said I think knowing guitar has limited advantages when it comes to piano because reading music and knowing theory, while helpful, is not a vital component of playing guitar for many people.. Guys like EVH, Slash and George Lynch do not necessarily know a lot of theory compared to guys like Billy Joel and Elton John. The guitarists success rest largely on his or her dexterity and ability to master the fret board and innate ability to “hear” something and then play it. Thus, experimentation plays a key role. In my opinion pianists can be sticklers for the rules because there a finite number of patterns that make sense on the piano or are even viable in a musical composition sense. Very interesting video!
I have had guitar lessons for 4 years. I stopped with that 3 years ago, and I haven’t really touched it since. Now my sister plays piano, I find learning songs I like on piano so much easier. Though a part of it might be the available information I have. Cause for piano, I just searched on youtube. For guitar, I found that only when I bought the ultimate guitar app, did I really feel confident that I had the right information on my hands. And not being sure that you’re learning the right notes is really demotivating.
Very scary how CZcams can read my mind 😂
Just bought a keyboard after a year attempting guitar.
I’m wondering if the logical linear set up of a piano will suit me rather than the random ”shapes” of a guitar.
I struggle with my left/shape hand on guitar - so will be interesting to see if I find piano a little easier.
Probably not 😂😂🎧🎧
Piano is easier at beginning but becomes harder later... Guitar is just opposite ‼️‼️‼️
Shirsendu Acharyya very true
Can't argue with that
Not really. Guitar can be hard too, if you just keep challenging yourself. Plus I would say you can't really master any of the two.
That might be for standard tuning but not others
For me as I already play piano I thought it tot be easy. But according to my wish from childhood, I started learning guitar from your Andy`s Guitar Beginners course and for me it seemed that from your class both Guitar and Piano is easy for me. Thanks for your video classes of Guitar.
The visual layout of a piano just makes it way more easier to learn. Beginners on guitar almost always need calculate what note they are playing.
Incomparable.
Both have a kind of their own and different field.
Be patient and give time to learn both.
Both of them almost teach the same things like notes, chords, scales, theories but just in a different format.
Start by learning piano as it is easy and thereafter grab a guitar. It would be super easy as mentioned earlier, both teach the same.
Time to learn each instrument comparison ?
Hi Andy - great vid. What do you think of trying to learn both keyboard and Guitar at the same time? Too much or worthwhile?
Ngl I find both instruments Soo cool and rlly wanna learn.
Piano because it's easier to sound good straight away rather than guitar. A lot of things depend on the interplay of success and enthusiasm. The more successful you are at something the more enthusiasm you have for it. And the more enthusiasm you have for something the more success you will have.
learning both right now, started piano 3 months ago, and guitar about 2 weeks ago. Id say piano is at the very least easier at the beginning, but the higher level stuff seems daunting on piano, where on the guitar, memorizing where notes (chords actually have been really easy to memorize) are has been hard but i feel like there isnt anything on guitar that i cant one day play. Also, cool side note, playing guitar has helped me hit the right keys on piano way more consistently
Wonderful to read Nicholas. Sounds like you have a talent for music but also out the work in too, keep it up! 🎸
I"ve been working diligently on both for about a year now and I'd have to say that the piano (keyboard) is easier, though I"m not about to give up on the guitar. I listen to classical or jazz piano music, and its so inspiring. Listen to rock or the blues from guitar and its the same feeling -- wow, I want to do that...
Dude what a daunting thumbnail !
Loved it
guitar - hard for beginners
piano - hard to master
case closed
Nah
i'd say piano cuz of the biggest obvious reasons ---- "It doesnt hurts your damn fingers while playin it 😂😂"....
n i'd still say piano if nt for that cuz i started with piano so 🙈🙈🍻
It does. There are chords that will tear your whole body apart
Obviously you've never tried playing a Rachmaninoff or Liszt piece.
I said that on 31st to my piano friend and he argue me for 10 min
I started on piano, and after a couple years I tried guitar and It was easier for me to learn songs and I was better then piano on it and I’m now at 7 months of playing
Alex Vinci I’m a guitarist and I have two words.
Jazz
Chords
I’m a guitar player, and actually getting a piano soon! Definitely gonna compare them both once I get my piano. ❤️
Hey! Can you please help me out , I am 15 and I want to learn an instrument and I am confused with my choice , I want to learn guitar as well as piano so as your experience and knowledge please recommend me which is better for me? In terms of becoming music producer , what should I learn first? What should be my budget ? Of Which company should I buy? And video was helpful but you compare both so I am confused now so please tell me only one in both of them and which instrument is helping you now alot.

As a guitarist i thought it was almost hilarious to Find out how Easy piano is compared to guitar. There's so much less to think about.
Well yoi obviously haven't played Chopin or Litzs, or even simple sounding pieces from Mozart or Schumann
I think the piano is harder then the gutiar. I've played the piano all my life and just started gutiar too.
@@lcaros_ try to play those things on guitar dude. On a piano You press a note and sound Comes out. Everyone van just start. With guitar it Take a while to get anything sounding even acceptable.
@@twantheunisz9281 well id say guitar is a difficult instrument to start but it gets easier after you get familiar with the strings and chords. The piano, on the other hand is easy to start, but extremely difficult to master.
Hum. Less to think about? How about using both hands at the same time playing different things? I've been playing guitar for a bit longer than the piano but piano is definitely harder to me. Imagine the hardest pieces on piano (like Liszt) and some Dragonforce solos on guitar for example. Both are really hard, surely, but Im pretty sure that Piano is harder when it comes to pro level songs, but easier when it comes to more simple songs.
Personally piano is easier but guitar sounds better
Edit: MY OPINION
I found piano helps visualise chords and melodies than you can then teansfer to guitar. For example theory is much easier for me to visualise on piano.
No piano is not easy once you proceed
Stradivarius Goffiler so is guitar, there is a point at intermediate where most people get stuck
@@Tony-ld5dv When you proceed everything tends to be the same
Piano sounds worse only if you have a $20 keyboard. A $200000 piano sounds better than any guitar, ever.
Hello, for guitarists i have a question.
im enjoying the idea of being able to play guitar , how long did it take you to play it in a good level, no great.
since you started learning.
My daily job takes like 10 hrs a day.
Last point is also, that if you learn sidereading, that you have an advantage @ the piano. Because you also can read the bass claff for which you have to learn as a gitarist seperatly.
2:24 look at that left had tho 👀
Guitar is harder to get used to....like building up callouses. But once u get used to playing it gets easier.. Piano is easy getting used to but classical music is painful.
You can also play classical on guitar... And it's not easy
Some thoughts: guitar only has 6 notes that can be played simultaneously. However things like vibrato, bending and sliding are controlled (miscontrolled) naturally. Also you can play exactly the same note (say A3) in multiple places on a guitar, where there's only one place to play that on a piano (unless it's a synth and you split the keyboard). For me the real difference is that with guitar the actions of the right hand are closely linked to the actions of the left hand making it easier for the brain to understand. Not so with the piano. But I'm a guitarist, I find piano very difficult.
Nice channel, just found it while looking for Christmas songs. I wouldn't say one is easier than the other, each has its benefits/problems. I like the guitar (and ukulele) since they are portable. Guitars come in a variety of sizes, so you can find some small compact ones that are easy to take with you. Pianos only come in BIG and are tough to carry with you (even a simple electric plug-in unit). I've got guitars/ukulele and an electric piano keyboard ($500 USA, basic but solid construction). I'm much better at the guitar/ukulele, taught myself in my 30s after struggling with formal piano lessons in my school years.
I play piano and guitar and the truth is that they're both as difficult as you make them. Granted melody you play on guitar will probably be much easier on piano, but you can be so much more involved on piano.
They're as difficult as you make them out to be.
With my own experience of self-learning both of these instruments to a level that I can do gigs etc. Piano is easy to start but extremely difficult to master. Guitar at first is super easy to start, but it's harder to get to a "good level" with a guitar than a piano. But after you get past the "good" level, it's far more easier to master the guitar than the piano.
So the difficulty depends in the goal of the player. If u want to master the instrument completely, the guitar is easier, but if u want to get to a good level for showing off, then take the piano.
Absolutly agree
Wtf? Guitar is not an easy start
As a player of both i'd definitely say sounding good is a lot easier on the piano. Also it's much easier to understand notes. If you start out on guitar with no musical experience it can take much longer to understand the concept of chords and actually see which notes you're playing.
I wanna learn both I’m actually about to go get a power cord for my keyboard (it was my sisters she lost the power cord when she lives in California) and that was 10 years ago. I wanna become a guitarist like my dad almost was.
Well Piano is in my oppinion far easier than guitar. It is a lot easier to learn any keys and you only need to learn an key once. As with the guitar you need to learn every key again if you just change the tuning. Also with the piano you are guarenteed to get a nice note, while for guitar you need to have the right pressure with your finger on the fretboard and pick the string correct with your right hand.
But as a guitar player I can just say that the guitar makes more fun and sounds better for me. You have so many different techniques like percussion, harmonics, tapping, slapping, hammering and many many picking styles. Because you are directly at the strings you need to put more effort to get a nice note but you can affect the sound of the string a lot more. For example you can play them with a cloth covering the strings, so you have a muted sound or you can even play the guitar with a bow. Also who doesn't want to play an electric guitar?
In conclusion I would say guitar is harder than piano. But if you put more effort into guitar you can play (almost) any piano songs on your guitar while being able to use many other techniques. Pianos on the other hand aren't able to play a song composed for the guitar since it is hard to transfer these techniques of the guitar to the piano.
Take into consideration Piano and Guitar both have different styles of genres to play with and piano can get really complex in nature as you play more difficult pieces. But they're both expressive instruments so it all comes down to what you enjoy hearing and playing.
It gets extremely nostalgic when you started playing imagine
piano is much more easier to start on (you literally just have to press a key and you will get your prefered sound) but as time passes by the longer you practice it turns to one of the hardest to master instruments when your advancing (thanks to these guys.... chopin,liszt,beethoven,alkan,rachmaninoff just to name a few/classical music) and in the piano also, music theory is bit more easy to understand
while guitar in the beggining is hard but tends to get moderate as time goes on as you practice
Crazy how I've watched so many of your. Videos and never knew you play guitar
