All the black keys play a Melody no matter what order you play them in.

You just have to time the inputs in a matter that follows a desired tempo.

That can also be done with the white notes of the piano, and with any instrument, you just need to play the Pentatonic Scale. The black notes are just a pentatonic.

All keys could have easily been painted any color.
White and black was chosen for a reason.
Can you guess that reason?

I never thought about why white and black were chosen. But, certainly, there are some historic reasons for that. Piano keys were used to be made from elephant ivory, right? What were their most common natural colors? Also, white and black contrast nicely.

Both are good starting instruments. If you want to dive into theory and write your own songs I would suggest learning piano first because it’s very linear. Guitar is good if you want to jam with other people or take out places.

both are capable of either, theory on guitar is the same but just not as intuitive. Also they both can hit the same genres and are flexible in how you play them. The only thing about guitar is deciding if you want steel (contemporary) or nylon (classic)

There's a special tone that rings so beautiful from an acoustic guitar tho.
Depending on how it was constructed and the tuning has to be just right.
It's like a hum behind the melody.

I fully agree. The way all the strings can harmonize is enchanting and pairs with the voice beautifully. I have an old art & lutherie guitar that I love and has treated me very well

So what's your excuse for not learning now?

Excuses are requests for permission to fail.

I'm not going to give you that permission.

10 minutes a day, +$150... 3 months, you've learned to play guitar.

Just learn #music and you will certainly learn both, guitar and piano, at some point of time. After I die, I wish I could continue studying music and continue learning how to play the instruments of the stars.
