For any one who plays guitar and doesn't play another instrument ....

I highly recommend taking up learning the piano ....

I decided. to learn the piano during the pandemic ,, I was stuck inside more, and I think I was getting a bit stale at playing the guitar .....

Anyhow,,,,, I was so focussed on playing the piano I barely touched my guitar over the past couple of years , ,,, really only to. play with my other friends did I ever play guitar , and eventually also started playing piano as well ......

I just have to say ,,,, It's remarkable at how much better I am at playing my guitar. now, after not having spent a lick of time practicing ...... It's truly an amazing feeling , and almost like a serendipitous gift offered to me for my dedication to learning the piano , which I also really love playing ..... so now I got 2 instruments I completely adore and can rely on ...

Played first chair saxophone and violin in high school, but put them down so long ago. Didn't think I'd even be able to find middle C on either of them if I bought one. But after reading back through my book on music theory, I suddenly found myself buying a finger board and practicing for the hell of it. That progressed to listening to a big favorite of mine and finally figuring out what Dudley Moore is actually doing with his hands on the piano...

Ended up buying an Alesis Recital Grand digital piano with 88 weighted keys and hammer action I felt were important if I ever want to realistically play on a real piano. I'm a classical lover at heart and this instrument spoke to me. Working on perfecting finger placement as I work my way up to chord progressions. So much to learn!
