Why a Guitar Player Can Teach You More About Piano Than a Piano Teacher - dvqopudujpyr@yahoo.com - 05:45 11-11-08

Do you know why more people want to learn guitar than piano? Because
it's easier! And because students get to play something that actually
sounds like music many times faster than their piano playing
counterparts.
But did you also know that a guitar player can show you how to play
piano better than most piano instructors? It's true! Here's why.
Guitar players use chords and chord charts to create with. Piano
players (for the most part) use note reading and memorization.
It's really easy for most beginning guitarists to quickly create
music. In fact, you can learn 3 chords on the guitar in less than 15
minutes and start to play many, many tunes. Can piano players do that?
Yes they can! But sadly, most don't.
You see, many people are intimidated by the piano. Not because of the
instrument itself but because of the snobby stigma surrounding it.
The piano is held in such high esteem that people are actually afraid
to go near it. Not the guitar. It's the everyman's instrument. Folk
players, rock guitarists, and even Uncle Joe himself can pick up this
instrument and soon strum out a tune....

Tough to take the piano to the beach, and since the 80's no one wants
to get caught playing a keytar
