      You're entirely right. Bass is also harder to get *good* at- you might think it's easier because no chords and stuff, but you CANNOT be sloppy at all and you have to carry the entire song as you're the foundation. Also, a guitarist can sound 'good' just playing open chords, but a bassist sounds bad and boring if they only play root.

    As a guitarist and pianist, I would say the vast majority of piano songs are easier than guitar, but, once you start playing complex piano pieces, then I find it significantly much more difficult than complex songs on guitar.

    • @sakuraaaa001
      @sakuraaaa001 Рік тому +19

      I think it depends how you define 'complex' - I'd definitely argue that at an advanced level, all instruments are equal in difficulty. Of course, piano has particularly difficult repertoire in the classical sphere (look no further than Gaspard de la Nuit, Liszt's Transcedental Etudes, Beethoven's Hammerklavier), but, especially now, there are many equally difficult to master songs/pieces on guitar, to say nothing of classical guitar music. :)

    • @moosic5701
      @moosic5701 Рік тому +26

      Songs that are super complex on guitar, are just as hard as complex piano pieces. One is a string instrument, with its own difficulties and the other is a key instrument, with its own difficulties. Many piano songs can't be arranged on guitar because they are impossible to play on the guitar.

Guitar is honestly just as complex - look at various people playing with harmonics, multiple melodic lines (keep in mind, piano has the benefit of being linear and two-handed here), movable frets (microtonality), tapping, etc. and you'll see both are equal in complexity - not like it matters, anyway!

  • @cgifrog
    @cgifrog Рік тому +45

    The reason younger people can learn so much fast is due to the steady production or myelin in a developing brain (the material that insulates neurons). As we get older we make less of it and really just maintain our current amount. Moral is if you are a younger person, get off the games get off the TV and start learning useful and lifelong fulfilling skills because you don't have forever. Even if you are older it will only get harder the longer you wait.

      @エルフェンリート-l3i Рік тому +11

      I wouldn't exactly define it like that. If something is hard or easy for you, it really just determines how fast and how often you will make the little successes that you wanted to achieve as a goal. But how many goals you set yourself ist kinda subjective, it could go on forever or stop at any given point. Also, after achieving consistency and confidence in something that was hard, you usually feel more proud about it than after having done something easy. You can and should be proud of any improvement of course, how little it may be, but that's just how the brain is wired. Any way, you will have to always be mindful, plan things out and execute them with great endurance and listen diligently to more advanced people to make serious improvements to a skill. And that will simply forever be hard in its own sense.

      I don’t think that’s true, learning is a hard thing in and of itself, doesn’t matter the topic, but that doesn’t mean people just, stop learning or anything. Same thing with guitar, it’s difficult and it doesn’t end, but that’s kind of the beauty of learning an instrument. You get the struggle of learning something new and complex, paired with the catharsis of finally getting it right and a reward of being able to make music, and that cycle literally happens forever. It’s like an always changing, push and pull, tension and release kinda deal, and that’s what music is all about.

      I think instruments can be one of these types of things:
      Easy to learn, hard to master
      Like I think of it as Trombone, Mallet percussion, and guitar. They are all very easy to pick up but difficult to get really good at.
      Easy to learn, easy to master
      For example, and auxiliary percussion instrument (tambourine, claves, congas, concert bass drum)
      They are all very simple to learn and there’s not likely more technique to go off of, like most other instruments.
      Hard to learn, easy to master
      Idk what would fit this but maybe something like ukulele where it’s hard to start getting stuff down at first but I’ve you can do basic stuff you start to progress a lot more from there.
      Hard to learn, hard to master
      For example, drumset, French horn, any Orchestral string instrument( violin, viola, cello, bass), and any double Reed instrument (oboe, bassoon)
      These instruments are all difficult to start off And get more difficult from there, I would say drum set is probably the easiest of these though.

    I’m 13, have been playing piano for 3 years, ukulele for 1 year, and guitar for 2 days. I’m obviously not very experienced in guitar, but I learn how to play instruments faster than other things, so here’s some of my thoughts.
    LEARN UKULELE BEFORE GUITAR. You get the general knowledge of strumming, knowing how to read chord charts, and you build some calluses. I’ve been playing my moms old guitar and have been learning from her old book, and it’s way easier than I would expect. I didn’t get a lot of pain from holding down the strings constantly (that’s almost accurate. I’ve been playing a ton today and yesterday) until this morning, and learning chords was easier. Also because a lot of the “shapes” of chords are the same from uke to guitar, just different notes. G notes on uke are like D notes on guitar, D on uke is like A on guitar, etc. Talking to my mom about when she started playing, she definitely agrees that I’ve picked up on it way faster than she did. I remember a lot of the shapes from ukulele, and I just connect that with the guitar chords. I learned a song already, and it’s sounding pretty good.
    I’m really excited to get my own guitar when we have enough money lol

    Guitar is a difficult instrument because of how it is set up. It is far more difficult to reach the notes and chords you need on guitar than say, a piano. Having to access everything you need across six strings and one fretting hand is difficult. What also makes it difficult is that it’s basically multi tasking. Both hands are doing two entirely different things, at different speeds and times, yet, both have to be perfectly in sync in order for the instrument to work. Having your fretting and picking hands out of syncs is one of the biggest challenges beginners and intermediate players face.

      @arthurmorgan3243 Рік тому

      @@IceColdWaterTRB no actually my point is there is no measurement of how difficult instruments are. You simply can’t measure it. I play four instruments and I couldn’t tell you which one is the hardest. Maybe it would be trumpet because just like other brass instruments it takes a very long time to master. The muscles around your lips need to be in so much shape that only after playing for about 3 years will your tone be developed enough to sound good. Also if you don’t play trumpet for over a week you’re so out of shape you can barely play, it’s like a sport. On the other hand mastering guitar seems pretty hard to me but I don’t think I’m as much of a natural on the guitar. And piano seems very easy to learn but one of the hardest to master. Then again you don’t have to worry about pitch on the piano or guitar, at least not as much as on the violin or trombone for example. It also depends on the individual. Anyone who tells you one instrument is harder than the other is probably just speaking from his own experience and it doesn’t mean it’s true.
