Musicians Come!

[Raditzu]

The fact that it contributes to more genres than piano has/ever will is testament to it's versatility.

That's the most ignorant thing you could have said.

You have the same problem as Pigero. No one is saying the guitar isn't versatile. No one is underestimating it, either.

[Bojack]

The piano has a greater versatility than the guitar. Simply put.

Um.

Krillin, anything that makes music for you when you push a button is NOT an instrument.

[Raditzu]

If you're not going to count an electric piano, then any arguments made using an electric guitar are moot.

There are things that can be done on electric guitar that can't be done on acoustic, and the same holds true for piano.

[Bojack]

Fine. Count keyboard. AKA synth rock to the extreme. It still loses.

[Krillin]

Yes, I believe the piano has a greater versatility than the guitar. I'm not saying the guitar isn't widely applicable.

And Bojack, the keyboard DOESN'T make music for you when you press a button. Yes, some high-end keyboards have drum styles that you can play to and such, but when it comes down to it, the real music is when the pianist sits down and plays. You're trying to put my keyboard's auto-accompaniment against Buckethead. That's fucking retarded.

To even suggest that the keyboard isn't an instruments is bigoted, quite honestly.

[Krillin]

Synth? This is silly. The keyboard is essentially a piano with all sorts of extra sounds hooked up to the keys. This allows it go beyond the regular 'acoustic' voice. How the hell is this different from the electric guitar? Each of the examples you used for 'omfg piano can't do this!' sound nothing like the acoustic guitar. How the hell are they NOT parallel?

It doesn't lose yet, Bojack. You have to actually make arguments, not state opinions.

[Kami]

Evan works from 2 to 6 or something. I have school in the morning. Best best would be to stop being anti social and get on AIM every now and then. >.<

I want to hear Pigero play so fucking bad. I want to get my face melted. Or laugh at how much he's been lying about this guitar skills.

I played with "The Cool Tapion" the other day. He lagged really bad on his end, so it was kinda ehhh. I think he was just trying to figure out if I was any good.

If I told you that I've been playing guitar for six years you'd probably think right away that I can shred like mad - which sadly isn't true. I bet Pigero is full of it! HA!

Kami come in Vent. I see you posting. =(

I'm at work jackass! No vent for me. I don't even like vent that much. =(

[Bojack]

This is all stupid. It's impossible to dispute this without relying heavily on personal preference. =( Guitar is my passion, so I'll admit that's what's driving my opinion on this subject. I really despise piano, unless it's serving as a backing track for a David Gilmour solo. I think it sucks, but that doesn't mean it sucks, nor does it mean guitar is better.

Now, back to topic. Someone learn the Storm Eagle theme so we can rock out.

[Kami]

Dude, I already know the Storm Eagle theme. I haven't played it in a while, and never had it perfect, but I know it.

I'd need to look up the rhythm part again though =\


Bojack: Plays and is passionate about guitar. Doesn't particularly enjoy piano and doesn't play it.
Krillin: Plays and is passionate about piano. Doesn't particularly enjoy guitar and doesn't play it.


HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM?!?!?!

Makes for a great argument though. And when I mean great, I mean entertaining to watch.

[Krillin]

It IS possible. Very hard, but possible.

If there was ever a place to successfully do it, though, clearly Chubbs is not the place.

[Krillin]

I have a guitar, and I fiddle with it. I've picked out a couple of my fav songs. I played in a band with three guitars and one keyboard (myself). Most of my friend-musicians play guitar.

[Raditzu]

I'm completely impartial to both instruments.

I still think piano is the more versatile of the two.

Kami, its really annoying when you just walk in and try to trivialize what people have been talking about with a couple lines of psuedo-humor.

[Bojack]

Dude, I already know the Storm Eagle theme. I haven't played it in a while, and never had it perfect, but I know it.

I'd need to look up the rhythm part again though =\

I can't figure out the lead yet. My acoustic doesn't have a cutaway body and it's impossible to transpose it all without going that far up the fretboard. I will most likely have to make my own solo over the rhythm.

[Kami]

Lead isn't that hard, and you don't need to go way up on the fret board to get some of it...I think.

[Talys]

Alright, I'd just like to step in as someone who plays guitar and is learning piano and loves them both.

I have to say that the piano is more versatile than the guitar if not simply for the fact that it is basically all voices wrapped into one. Songs for huge orchestras and the like are/were written on the piano for the reason that it can play each and every one of those parts. Sure the guitar is more appropriate for modern music and generally sounds a hell of a lot better on it, but modern music can still be played on the piano -- hence the versatility.

Oh, and here's a good piano video, by the way >.>

(Trumpets still rock you all though >.>)

As long as it's brass baby...but bone is the best

[Talys]

Kami, wanna join my ska band then? All the trombones at my school are teh sux.

Oh, and this is actually a better Toccata & Fugue video. . .albeit a bit long.

And a few piano battles. . .

(First song in this one should sound familiar >.>)

[Raditzu]

I remember people starting ska bands. I went to practice with one a couple times.

They sucked.

You get the point.

I went to one practice when I was in the dorms once. It was really sad.

Ska bands are hard to start, and my chops are out of shape =(
