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?

Nice topic jar. Like Zizi said, he likes guitar more; I am a guitar lover biggrin.gif 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.

Spot on. smile.gif
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.
