Whenever learning about anything theory related, I am constantly thinking how much easier this is when dealing with a piano keyboard.

VS a guitar neck.

Everything being linear, black sharps and flats, white natural keys, etc...

Does anyone here play both? And if so, is there any insight you can provide that would help a guitarist?

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.
