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 ...

Not if you are doing challenging music ,,,
Then they are equally hard ...

As well , this post is not a contest between instruments , its about the idea of learning another instrument to improve the skill on your first learned instrument ....

I learned more taking my knowledge of violin (than saxophone) and implementing it on piano. After all they're both stringed instruments. However, you can pluck a violin string as well as on a guitar, but not really on a piano. I figure you'd have to reach in and pluck the string(s) the hammer hits, but this would probably take it out of tune.
