Am I the only one that thinks guitar is a better instrument than piano?
all those snobby rich kids in school tease me because I play guitar
they all play piano and have been doing so for years and years
anyways to me the guitar is a better instrument for many many reasons
it’s ability to bend strings…
it is much more difficult to master (especially sight reading) …not to mention different tunings
it has way more techniques to learn (picking, finger picking, hybrid, slide, bend, vibrato, sweep, use of trem, so much more)
to add its a MUCH more versatile instrument (in many many genre of music, guitar is the melody besides vocals)
Lastly i would say that guitar is ALL ABOUT TONE…sure different pianos can sound different but for guitars everything makes the sound different….
your fingers…
pick you use, the way you pick, the shape, the thickness, the material
strings ..the gauge, the material, etc
guitar..i can go on forever, but to keep it short…the wood (fretboard, neck, body) the style (solid, semi, hollow), the scales, the frets, the bridge…pickups
amp also can go on forever…look at how many brands and series…ALL have different TONE
im not gonna include stompboxes because those are effects…if i didnt it wouldnt be fair
to me …without those sophistication composers or classical music, i would say that piano is way out of guitar’s league as an instrument
how can they make fun of me …………i dont get it
