Musicians Come!

[The Not Cool Not Tapion]

So, Jack and I have been playing guitar over vent through our mics and just messing around. If you play guitar or bass, then IM me (guitarlife09) and we can just play and have a good time. Maybe even to a collaboration =\

Piano > Guitar

Get a keyboard, Krill.

[Krillin]

Piano > Keyboard

I have one, though.

I actually enjoy piano very much and am learning how to play by a friend of mine. I love the piano and when played well, it sends a tingle to my balls.

Yes the Piano is such a wonderful instrument. It's like putting your soul into music, and I miss playing so much...but I'd have to pay a lot to get my piano tuned and I'd have to relearn everything, plus playing for the exams scared me shitless. I'll likely pick it back up again, I want to be able to play flawlessly.

Guitars hurt my fingers lol.

[The Not Cool Not Tapion]

Lol, yeah, takes a lil bit to get your fingers used to the strings on a guitar.

But playing piano is awesome. Did you know that the piano isn't tuned perfectly?

Actually, the piano's notes aren't tuned, it's a whole math formula but the gist is, to make it sound good in any key you play, they tune the keys so they are off so that it sounds good in any key. Crazy shit.

I don't like piano at all. Keyboard is cool because it can synth rock.

Guitars hurt my fingers lol.

Wtf is happening here? D=

[Krillin]

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

Anyone who wants to argue with me on this point can, of course.

[Bojack]

How?

[Raditzu]

I'd actually say the keyboard has the greatest amount of versatility of any instrument.

Though that's mostly just splitting hairs.

[Kami]

Guitar over vent eh? Sounds like it could be cool.

[Krillin]

I'm talking acoustic, Rad.

[Raditzu]

Oh... well...

[Krillin]

Yeah, if we're talking electric, I'm pretty sure the computer wins.

Any contest the computer can win sucks.

[Bojack]

Oh... well... you're wrong. Now gtfo.

lol

Acoustic piano is better than acoustic guitar, but electric guitar is way more versatile than any piano. A piano can never sound like anything else, it always sounds like a piano. Bending notes on an unstringed instrument is ghey. And a guitar solo would pwn a piano solo any day of the week. Just a few reasons. I'll admit I don't know a lot about the piano like I do the guitar, but from what I've heard guitar can do a lot more.

Keyboard is cool, but I wouldn't take that seriously as an instrument. Anything that makes music for you is kind of lame to me. For example: a backing track at the push of a button is cheating.

** Never heard of a piano battle/duel either. + 1 for geetar

Anyways, enough of this pointless debate.

What've you guys been playing in vent? Do you put the mic up to the amp or sound hole or what?

[Krillin]

The piano is a stringed instrument.

The electric guitar owns the hard rock genre. Whoopdee-frickin-doo. Last time I checked, Mozart > any hard rock artist, and he didn't write a thing for the electric guitar.

The piano can be as soothing as a fresh breeze, or as commanding as a storm at sea. You can perform up to ten different notes at one time with each of your fingers, while a guitar can usually only perform one chord at a time with up to six fingers (although I'm sure there are possibilities for multiple chords, given that they don't overlap too heavily, and given an incredibly talented guitarist).

Acoustic piano easily destroys acoustic guitar. Acoustic piano destroys electric piano. Acoustic piano destroys, dare I say it, the electric guitar. No matter how hard you try, there are things that a piano can do that an electric guitar can never do. The range is greater. The piano's library is far larger. Beyond this, the simple sound of the hammer striking the strings is beautiful in its own right. Both passive, and aggressive.

If you prefer the electric guitar, that's fine. But when it comes down to it, the piano simply out-performs the guitar as an instrument, despite this being an almost impossible thing to measure.

lol

** Never heard of a piano battle/duel either. + 1 for geetar

That's because that's a genre-specific instance. I'm sure there have been piano duels, however.

More important is the duet.
