What's the difficulty level on a guitar?-TaoPhoenix (January 06, 2015, 10:48 AM)
IMO Guitar is paradoxically easier and more difficult to play than a piano or keyboard. Which is probably why some people gravitate to one or the other depending upon how their brain works.This seems very true. I've tried guitar a little, played piano a lot. From what I've seen, the guitar brain seems to lean towards the artistic/abstract like geometry, while the piano brain seems to be much more algebraic. At least to me.-40hz (January 06, 2015, 12:32 PM)

I think I agree at a very broad level that piano theory is "easier conceptually" - a note is a note, and it doesn't show up anywhere else or morph into something else either.-TaoPhoenix (January 06, 2015, 01:50 PM)

Wrong on both counts... (1) the easier conceptually, which is my opinion. (2) doesn't morph into anything else... well b/c♭ and f/e# want to have a talk with you. ;D-wraith808 (January 06, 2015, 02:48 PM)
Interestingly, the only accurate way to notate guitar music is with TAB. Going off a normal staff arrangement doesn't tell you which A, for example, you should be playing. Is it at the 17th fret of the E-string, the 12th fret on the A-string, the seventh fret on the D-string or the second fret on the G? Although technically the "same" note (at least on a staff), they each have a noticeably different timbral quality, a slightly different response time, and a significantly different sustain-decay ratio. That's due to the difference in string sounding-length, gauge, tension, and construction (i.e. wound vs unwound).-40hz (January 06, 2015, 03:13 PM)
For us non musicians, what does that music mean in the context of the thread?
I guess this may answer that:

Well, that's grazing THAT question again. So I think a lot of people know what side of it I am on.-TaoPhoenix (January 08, 2015, 09:56 PM)
