Nice topic jar. Like Zizi said, he likes guitar more; I am a guitar lover I also try to play piano. Well I would say, I'm more of a keyboard player than a real piano player. It is easier to learn scales on piano but I've always had hard time with syncing left & right hand. I guess thats a matter of practice. Its also easier to read sheet for piano than guitar.
I play my own piano and other keyboard parts myself for recording. If I'm playing a complex part, sometimes I record left hand & right hand separately. -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

Although its easier to learn scale and chord shapes on guitar, i think the piano is definitely easier for learning about chord, scale theory, and all other kinds of theory.

I don't play piano but I have friends that play both guitar and piano. They claim it's much easier to compose and "see" shapes and scales while playing piano. I am not sure about that, I have no problems doing it on my guitar.

I don't play piano but I know the theory behind it and use it to compose. I use a yamaha keyboard as a midi controller and when I compose piano arrangements I record it in small parts in the sequencer.
I think that playing the piano is a great tool for composers but you need many time of practice to be good. Some of my favourite composers like Danny Elfman and Yan Tiersen are pianists. Ramiro Delforte is very good at both instruments so we have to ask him. gabriel.- -------------------- My lessons

Its also easier to read sheet for piano than guitar. Spot on. Take note A in 1st octave per example, there's only one place on the keyboard when it can be found/played. On the guitar,you can have it on three different places at least, of course there are markers here and there to point the position on the fretboard but there are much more options for each note indeed, which means more complex to read,absolutely. Danny Elfman Owns! My favorite movie score composer as well. -------------------- Youtube

Both instruments are great. I don't play piano well, only know couple of chords and some simple stuff, but as Muris said the biggest difference is that with piano you have all the notes right there on the board for two hand playing and no doubles. With guitar you have multiple strings and doubling notes, so this adds to the complexity.

Thanks guys for clarification , I didn't know much about piano ! One thing I know is that if you master one instrument (guitar) its much much more easier to learn new one (like piano).
