Piano Answers

I love both instruments very much & I want to be able to play both. Been playing piano for 8 years & guitar for 3. Is it True that guitar wrecks the ability to play piano?

I know music; I play three musical instruments, but not guitar. I want to tune my mum’s old guitar to my piano, but I don’t know what the guitar strings are meant to be tuned to (like, what are the string’s open notes)?

My guitar is E-A-D-G-B-E. My piano has two black keys & three black keys with white keys inbetweenst the black.

Yeah, I’m kind of new at guitar
and i wanted to try & play The Best Decpetions from Dashboard Confessional on it.
I have the tabs but it says i have to tune it to open D tuning.
I have a piano so i can tune it like that..
but i was lowering the low E peg to D but its not working..?
am i doing it right?

Well I love to play guitar & piano so i was just wondering,any good Guitar tab sites or good Piano music sites
Thnx!

The makers of this guitar were quite elderly at the time (1936) & made Pianos usually. My parents discribed them as 2 old men who measured my mothers hand before making the neck so she could reach the chords. The guitar was made left handed. I would like to know how rare it is…I have been advised that it is quite rare & could be valuable. It is small, but has a great tone. It has traveled the world with me & was rescued from a house fire 10 years ago. There has been some damage to the finish & I would like to find a reliable guitar maker to do the repairs.

Usually guitars have their tuning knobs arranged in two rows. Only the tuning knobs on one side would hit three piano keys. The spacing of the knobs would have to line up with the spacing of the keys to even do that.

My Granny taught me what keys to use on the piano to tune my guitar, & I haven’t played my guitar in a while, & my Granny passed away. So, now I’ve picked it up again, & it’s way out of tune, I need to know what keys to use on the piano. I know the first one is E & I think the second one is G, but I’m lost after that. Thank you!

how complicated is making the transition from guitar playing to keyboard/piano?
I have been playing guitar for a few years now. I still have lots to learn but have taken an interest in the keyboard/piano. Not sure if I should get a weighted keyboard with 88 keys or a note weight digital piano with 88 keys. Any suggestions?

I just got a guitar & i learning how to play it, but I’ve also been playing the piano for 11 years, will the calluses that develop hurt my piano playing? Will it make my hands look ugly or will i have less feeling in my finger tips?

The guitar evolved before the piano. A piano has black keys, which was not always the case in the past. To compesate for the #s & bs, since there were no black keys, the church modes were developed. On a guitar there are frets & the black keys are there along with the white keys only the guitar usually has position markers on the top of the neck & on the fret board. Both instruments are a band in a box that can play the three fundamentals of music which are Melody, harmony & rhythm. What are the differences in playing them & why & how do you adjust to playing them?

I’ve been playing the piano for about most of the summer & I’m getting pretty good at it. I can read tabs, chords, etc. I’m getting a guitar/bass next month & want to know if I can be able to use my knowledge of the piano on the guitar/bass. That & if I can get good fast.

is it possible? on the piano music sheet there are two measures which im guessing one is for one hand & the bottom one is for the other hand but how can i make this work into tablature for guitar?

I would like to learn some basics online & for free. i have an acoustic guitar…and i know music notes & how to read them as i have ben playing piano & violon for 5-6 years but have no idea of chordsetc… i can play only single notes as if i was reading from a violin stave…
can someone suggest links please?thanks

Well, I was considering learning guitar, but my piano teacher told me that when guitarists play their fingers develop a tough skin & this may effect my ability to control pressure on my fingers as well as without playing guitar.
Is this true?

I’ve been playing piano for seven years, & I have to say, I’m pretty darn good. Will it be easier to play guitar now than If I had started playing guitar with no musical experience whatsoever? I also heard that people that play piano can’t play the guitar well.
