Played piano for 8 years. I'm alright at playing, but composing is for masochists and sadists. That shit is hard, you gotta come up with a tune, pair that with a tempo, get the right phrasing for your tune, and then write the music so that an experienced player will replicate your phrasing and tempo exactly. That shit's hard.

>>25795317
Yeah man. You can still leanr shit, and i didnt even take classes. Your teacher will probably help you get better than if u did self learning.

I think of my problems was that i never bothered to learn proper trchnique, or any practice songs or shit like that. Your class will let u learn piano the formal way, and in doing so perhaps circumvent the problems i have

>>25795248
All I can say is that it has nothing to do with starting late. I started playing when I was like 8 and I'm still garbage at it. I just make up for it by practicing more.

Fuck what the "pros" say, they just say that to make it look like piano isn't easy. There's a reason 5 year olds can play crazy pieces with little practice and it's not because of "muh brain plasticity" it's because piano is one of the easiest instruments to learn. You don't see 5 year olds playing Protest The Hero pieces on the guitar because guitar is way more complicated and difficult. As long as you keep your fingers bent and use a metronome and watch a few good pianists play, you can learn anything. ffs I don't even know music theory and I can get by just fine. I've heard those kinds of people before, they're fucking egos outway their skill. You're just hitting some keys, it's not that complicated.

Maybe rythmically sometimes, but otherwise no it isn't.
You can also find kids playing some Guthrie Govan or Paul Gilbert, or a teenager playing Malmsteen or Vai, that doesn't make guitar any easier because some kids are good.

>>25799514

That's just muscle memory you fuckwhit. I could have that down in a week. And i know Piano is harder than guitar because I've been playing guitar for longer than piano. A Jason becker song would take me longer to learn then that piece and I've only been playing piano a year.
Go learn Serana by jason becker or altitudes and then come to me with you're tuplets

When it comes down to it piano is the easiest instrument to start but has the highest skill cap, simply because you can do so much with it. I play guitar and piano and I can tell you that the guitar is at most equivalent to one hand on piano. You don't see 5 year olds playing Protest the Hero because
1. 5 year old prodigy = asian parents / heavily autistic = classical instruments
2. Protest the Hero is fucking shit why would anyone want to learn that

Also, with electric guitar your dynamics are limited by the pickup threshold and gain, whereas piano is as expressive as you are.

Ever wonder why there are so many guitarists on /r9k/? truth is 90% of guitarists are pseudo musicians who play for girls, you say piano is easy and reinforce that by referencing piano child prodigies but completely
ignore that there are hundreds of guitar child prodigies.

>>25800006

>tfw no gf to play wanky classical shit for me

I play a keyboard using Synthesia. Done so for a year and its been real fun so far but I started at 23 and feel pretty bad seeing how much skill I lack. Wish my parents paid attention to me, its been my dream since I was a teen

>>25799996
>im very good i could have gone to a good school but i didnt check out my "obviously correct" but completely unjustified opinions

Please actually try to argue.

On electric guitar you cannot express the same dynamic range, so although you may have to play notes fast all it is really limited to is precision, timing and coordination. Because the sound from a guitar string comes from releasing it from a displaced position you cannot control the amplitude of the vibration properly. If you hold your pick with x tightness then any one string will begin its return to equilibrium from the same displacement -> same amplitude each time.
With piano you have precision, timing and coordination, but you also have the added element of dynamics, because you control the impulse on the string rather the displacement from which it is release.
An allegory would be to imagine a ruler partially over an edge. If you push it down with a constant force it will bend until a certain point where it will ping back. That point is the same every time, so it has the same amplitude (guitar).
If instead you hit the ruler with varying force you will get varying amplitudes (piano).

This is why piano has a higher skill cap. You need to be able to do everything you can do on guitar, plus something else.

Also please dont argue muh pedals you'll just embarrass yourself

>>25800021

> you say piano is easy and reinforce that by referencing piano child prodigies
I actually play both instruments too. See >>25798387 And >>25799893
I think I've got a pretty decent understanding of what it takes to play on both. To sound good on the piano is much easier. To sound good on guitar (and not like those pseudo guitarists -I agree with you on that point) takes a lot more skill.
Also wasn't the one who said "that slow-ass song sounds easy as fuck to play."
I'm not dissing music.

>ignore that there are hundreds of guitar child prodigies.
I never said there wasn't. But not nearly as many as piano. Because piano is childs play compared to guitar. I've met a ton of amazing pianists and I only know a small handful of people who can actually play the guitar (and not those acoustic fags who play "let it be" or "stairway to heaven")

>>25800398

You're arguing that piano has a higher skill cap. That's not my point. "Skill cap" is just how creative you can be with the instrument and its sounds available to produce.

My point is, to sound good on piano takes a lot less skill than to sound good on guitar.

>>25800432
>Because piano is childs play compared to guitar.
as the other anon said, yes piano is easier, you can play on piano in 2 days, what takes years to master on guitar, but why is that a bad thing? Piano has a way higher skill cap. If a pianist
played the same piece of music you played he wouldn't be given nearly as much appraisal as a guitarist, pianists are pushed to a higher standard of playing. I've learned many songs written for guitar, transcribed to piano
and they are much easier than namely the chopin etudes I posted. Most universities for music expect you to play all Etudes by chopin for admission, playing protest the hero is not good enough although it may be for guitar

>>25790133

>"Skill cap" is just how creative you can be with the instrument and its sounds available to produce.
wrong, clearly you've never player piano

piano is not childs play compared to guitar.... that is ridiculous, this coming from someone who has played guitar for 20 years

piano is easier for a beginner, guitar is more difficult for a beginner. at the intermediate level piano is more difficult, and once you get to advanced levels fucking forget about it, piano is insanely complicated.

Piano is stupidly easy.
I learned to play it by myself when I was 17 or so. It was literally this:
>see some youtube video of a guy playing piano
>i decide its cool and i should do that too
>buy a keyboard with christmas gift money
>watch youtube tutorial in 5 minutes
>by the end of day 3 i already know how to play ride of the valkyries with two hands

Fucking losers and idiots. How can humanity even keep up with me?

>>25800825

kek clearly you've never touched an instrument

>>25800883

What is ridiculous is that a guitarist of 20 years is talking about the difficulty of another instrument he's never learned. Just because you couldn't play Fur Elise doesn't mean it's an insanely hard instrument.

>>25801076

I'm 32 and I'm going to start learning to play the piano. I've been through alot and I think it's the only instrument that'll allow me to adequately express my feels.

This has Piano in it...
Winter time is a good time to hear some Piano.

I used to learn piano but can't play anything anymore, I regret dropping it.
Does anyone know how can I learn how to play something decent?
I have no money for piano lesson and an old synth.
Maybe it'll help me to cope with melancholia.

Are you joking? Just play something and see if it sounds good. I've made up plenty of songs, although on guitar.

If you want to start from basics again get Yousician for free on your phone or tablet or desktop.

If you want to learn to play something quickly without having to translate sheet music, look up synthesia videos on youtube and just play along.

Thank you for the advice man, I'll try it out
Already tried synthesia, but I suck too much to follow the video and make something decent, I have to train harder

It's not difficult to hear what to play in your head. Get yourself a DAW and a midi keyboard with a drum program.

This is basically all you need to write a disco song for example. Play these 3, 4/4 time, repeat the last chord, 120bpm, basic dance beat, on your drum machine, use a smooth sounding synth, add a bassline, a wah guitar, accent it in syncopation with some strings synth, sing. Shit should come naturally with some basic chords. Shit you could write an r&b song with even less. We belong together from mariah carey is 3 normal major chords and a minor, not even 7ths, 9ths, or sharps. Drop in a basic r&b beat where the snare hits on the 3rd beat. Easy. If you're trying to compose le classical I can see that it's more difficult, but you still just need to hear what you want in your head first. If I could play piano writing would be far more easy. I usually beat tunes in layers; drum pattern, main chord sound, melody, etc into my phones sound recorder and figure them out later anyway.

The thing about the piano is that almost anything you play, whether it's simply hitting a few keys, or playing something complex, it always sounds good. I'd recommend either using a friend or family member's piano, or even buying a keyboard, and just playing by ear. I learned how to play a few songs this way (even a little Beethoven),and, even though it's kind of hard to explain, it works. Start by playing something simple like London Bridge, then branch out and try tackling more complex works as time progresses, or create your own music.

The piano really just a beautiful instrument that transmits your emotions through sound. If you get one and try to play by ear, I guarantee you'll begin to see the world in a different way and the true beauty of our existence.

Damn, I could literally talk forever about pianos. Best fucking instrument ever.

>tfw want to learn how to play electric guitar or saxophone

I find playing simple melodies by ear not too hard, but most music that's worth it isn't just a single simple melody. It's usually a bunch of stuff layered layered on top of each other with different instruments or at least a melody and an accompaniment.
