Guitar or Piano
As mentioned in my 2010 resolutions I’m going to learn to play either guitar or piano this year. I just need to figure out which.
I have access to both and interest in learning to play. I can think of more music / styles I’d like to learn in piano. Guitar seems it would develop skills that’ll help when learning other instruments like cello and electric bass, it’s has a wide range of styles and techniques.
both can be played ‘quietly’, i’m not a person that likes to make a lot of noise. guitar is a little more portable / flexible in that i can take my guitar various places (vacations, friends houses) easier than i can with our electric keyboard.
my manual dexterity has never been super great, about the first thing i was really good at with my hands was typing on a keyboard, so piano seems like maybe it would be more familiar.
andrew knows how to play guitar and could give me some tips, other the other hand andrew doesn’t know how to play piano so i wouldn’t feel like i’m trying to catch up to his level.
i think at this point i’m about 70% piano.
