Why are they so scared of abandoning the guitars?

why are they so scared of abandoning the guitars?

Why would they abandon possibly the most versatile instrument in existence that one of their members is a master at playing?

its just an instrument dude, they use it when it feels right

Strum~strum~strum

ZOMG! SO VERSATILE

You men Ed right

t. someone who doesn't know how to play an instrument

>Presses keys

Omg so versatile!

inorite, you can go faster or slower, it's amazing!!!!1!1!!

t. someone who doesn't know the limits of modular synthesis

why would the most versatile instrument not be piano when it has appeared just about everywhere in the past 200 years

Nowhere did I imply a disdain for modular synths. Nice strawman.

Filtered.

because its static compared to the tonal chameleon that is the electric guitar

yes your right only ever playing the piano is the path to making the most versatile music possible well done

why would the most versatile instrument not be drums when it has appeared everywhere for the past 20000 years

I don't necessarily disagree with you but the piano is far less accessible and doesn't really have a tonal range as wide as the electric guitar.

This is a troll thread.

wait when we say "versatile" are we talking about tonal colors or how many times its been used

bc the giitah exceeds it in the former but the piano in the latter

piano = anything with keys

because they're a rock band

guitar = anything with strings

>he doesn't enjoy Jonny and Ed's licks

>able to adapt or be adapted to many different functions or activities.

yeah and the piano has been used in like every genre

no thanks

electronic music is so much better
also there are actually cool instruments they can use such as violins, harpsichords and clavichords

Everyone knows that Jonny truly shines playing the Ondes Memenot

But a piano always sounds like a piano.

that doesn't change the fact that it's been in common use for far longer than a guitar (save for like lute shit that dropped out of popular use)
i guess it just depends on how much you weigh each aspect of versatility anyway

so by those standards the answer to the question is drums

sure

computer

>electronic music is so much better
pleb

But that's not what versatility implies. You're thinking on longevity. A piano always has the function of sounding like a piano. The function of "sounding like a piano" is a lot less dynamic than the function of "sounding like a guitar."

Comparing "piano" and "electric guitar" without including the synthesizer keyboard, electric piano / organ, prepared piano, etc. is intellectually dishonest because the electric guitar's sound is a result of a marriage between the physical interface (the guitar) and the amplifier.

This is nonsense.

OK, computer.

analog bitch

Synthesizers and organs aren't pianos.

can you adopt a name as well so i don't have to see your crybaby ass?

Because using guitars sells more tickets and records

An "electric guitar" in the sense it is being used isn't a guitar. See how that works ?

It isn't about fear.
It's about doing the thing you know, the thing you love, doing it well, pushing it to the outer limits, as far as you can, and beyond.
