The guitarist thinks he's all that and a bag of chips because he spent 2 years learning guitar and found himself useful very quickly while mr piano player spent 4 years on his biology degree that was completely useless and he still couldnt get a gig anywhere! As time goes on the pianist spends 4 more years learning more musical theory and graduates and becomes one of the most useful and irreplaceable musicians ever The guitar player spends the rest of his life making an average living while the pianist kicks back with no one else but the best musicians as no one can replace his proud skills on the piano/organ/synthesizer
people think guitar playing is magical because when laymen try to play they can't fret a note or they give up after a couple of weeks because they can't play an F chord but it's actually easy af if you stick at it whereas you can stay shit at piano for years if you don't apply your noggin as you learn
Carson Martin
Pianist here. That dude looks smug as fuck senpai baka, but no hate toward guitarists. They can be great musicians too.
John Robinson
t. assmad fucking table player
Dylan Sullivan
>tfw 18 >think I'm already too late to learn piano >read about Ryo Fukui and how he started to play in his 20s
Hunter Perry
>being this much of a pleb >he runs his hand along a long piece of hard wood >it literally looks like he is jerking off as he plays
Guitar confirmed for the most homo erotica instrument.
Christopher Wilson
>ywn hear Oscar Peterson do an acid jam also you can't really apply piano skills to a synthesizer and be a good player. at best you can utilize a synth as a superficial aesthetic.
Grayson Martinez
OP = Faggot
Lincoln Morgan
>you cant really apply your piano skills to a synthesizer and be a good player
False
Christian Flores
Is that Clarence Thomas?
Jason Bell
>he's such a faggot he imagines dicks out of everything he sees
Austin Johnson
t. But mad wood grabber
Luke Moore
>he's such a faggot he can't appreciate a good cock in a totally heterosexual way
Anthony Cook
The Piano player is more like the Architect and the Guitar player the Carpenter.
Elijah Gomez
To late to learn to play is a meme unless you want to play professionally in an orchestra or something. The only thing you lose out on is having way more time to practice as a kid/teenager and possibly some learning opportunities.
Jacob Green
Piano doesn't get you girls thought t. shitty pianist
Adrian Flores
I just went to his wikipedia page and read that he died last year.damn
Daniel Torres
Whatever Thomas keep grabbing your wood furiously as you stare into the eyes of your band "mates".
Us adults are going to compose using our superior knowledge of harmony and rhythm.
Cooper Gray
But what if I want? I am 20 and learned piano when I was like 10 but I didn't put any effort into it but for the last 2 years I am practicing seriously
Jeremiah Myers
*hands you controller* should be easy with all that piano practice haha.
Ian Hughes
Only if that dick belongs to a girl
Levi King
You do realize 'piano skills' literally do not end with the piano right? You do realize that to truly master piano you have to understand principals of harmony and rhythm which are universal across all instruments and music, don't you? M8 if you are a good piano player you understand theory, and thus understand how theory applies to all instrumen's even if you can't play them mechanically. It isn't called the composers instrument for nothing. All it takes is mastering the mechanics and any seasoned pianist would be able to operate that at a level far beyond most people.
Brody Wilson
This is all true of the guitar and makes this shitposting thread moot
Carson Foster
If I had a dollar for every guitarist who did not even know how to read music I'd be a very rich man.
Luke Scott
I could say the same for the "pianists" I've met that can't read music. Just like you said, a master at the guitar should understand the principals of harmony and rhythm
Isaac Anderson
Somebody who plays with a midi controller is not a pianist. It is comic how many people LARP as musicians. I play Bach on the piano and I have had DJ's approach me and tell me they can give me tips if I'm interested. Fuck this gay earth. I agree BTW, I like guitarists when they are actual guitarists and not Larping
Justin Roberts
kek I've yet to get tips from someone from someone that just knows a couple chord progressions and strumming patterns. The "LARPing" piano players make me weep though
Instruments don't get you girls if you can't sing t. decent pianist / guitarist
Kevin Young
instruments don't get you girls in general
Wyatt Howard
only literal untermenches do it for girls, i play french horn and trumpet in a brass section and i crush puss regardless
Lincoln Lopez
I agree and would expand on OP's insighful post
Kazookeylele = God Organ player = Scientist who found a cure for all cancers Piano player = Doctor Accordion player = proctologist Piano player with severed fingers = undergrad Clavinet player = gynecologist Guitarist = Plumber Ukulele = Plumber with down syndrome Anything MIDI = literal ape playing with its urine Melodica = literal ape playing with its feces
Justin Barnes
lmao virgin
Zachary Bailey
Instruments are tools, not identities. Graduate high school and get a job kiddo.
Jeremiah Peterson
This is exactly what I meant in the original post. You aren't playing synth in a meaningful way if you're stuck in the tired old 12 tone ET mindset.
Blake Myers
I play both and piano is more challenging than guitar, but guitar can still be pretty rewarding if you get good at it
Aaron Harris
but user, music is my life
Nathaniel Powell
but OP people want to play guitar nobody actually wants to be a plumber
Evan Powell
>dude the only way it can be meaningful is if you are ignorant of theory
You're a retard.
Cooper Wood
But user, as I understand it, you can make decent money as a plumber and easily be self employed
Lincoln Bailey
i play guitar and piano what does that make me
Jace Johnson
a faggot with a doctorate in plumbing
Brandon Kelly
It's already been said in this thread pretty much but that's just because you can't bullshit and pretend you know piano as easily as guitar, there's no culture surrounding the piano that says "no reason to learn how to read music or study music theory, just play what you FEEL and it will magically be good! this is how you play three chords you're a musician now, btw have you heard of tabs?"
Liam Flores
well neither of those apply to guitar looks like OP is an idiot
Josiah Rivera
oh
Noah Jones
I feel like there's some truth in that way of thinking but it doesn't apply to most people, like if you're incredibly creative or some savant prodigy that was never realized you can make very impressive art with almost no understanding of music theory going in (bands like Captain Beefheart, Red Krayola, Royal Trux) but most of the time it's just going to be garbage because most people need to study something to be good at it
Nathaniel Gomez
People get this idea because once in a while people who don't know music theory will get lucky by just throwing things together in a way someone who knew theory wouldn't but in most cases the way you get great music is by taking hundreds of years of musical tradition and building off of it, not throwing it all out and starting from scratch
Jonathan Campbell
jej
Matthew Reyes
yeah well at least a guitarist gets to lay some pipe down IF YOU KNOW WHAT I AM SAYING
Chase Sullivan
lay some pipe down is a weird way of saying changing guitar strings
Grayson Perez
Most people who don't know theory are still making the same garbage that's been done to death. The rejection of 12 tone ET shit isn't ignorance of theory, but an acknowledgement that the synthesizer is capable of more than that.
