I just spent 20 minutes in my room trying to learn acoustic guitar. As someone who plays piano this filled me with primal rage because THAT LOOKS SO MUCH BETTER 😭
As a pianist I spent 3 years trying to learn classic guitar and gave up. Non-keyboard instruments have so many unnecessary roadblocks and it just hurt my hands and fingers :/ Also requires long nails and every other sound is a TZZOINN or a funny fart. The biggest bummer is a solo keyboard can make good music while a solo any other instrument is never enough by itself. So I could not enjoy my own performance while playing the guitar
@M P that's a given for any 2 different instrument. The opposite is also true and way more important : the piano is much more versatile since you can use it as a keyboard to make any sound you want, and both hands play equally with up to 10 fingers. As I mentioned in previous comment, most important aspect is that solo piano is way more rewarding to play than solo guitar
About 8 years ago I was working at Guitar Center/Atlanta and Stevie Wonder came in (with his manager) and demoed one. He was five feet in front of me playing that thing. I was awestruck!!
A hidden upside to owning a harpeji is if somebody breaks into your home you can just whack them over the head with your harpeji and it makes this neat sound.
Had a wish-that-I-thought-of-it-first moment. Allows pianists to be more expressive and opens up chord voicings and note choices to guitarists - brilliant!
It’s really cool, but ultimately it’s just an experimental / gimmick instrument, there’s no sounds you’ll get from it you couldn’t get from a guitar or electric keyboard, and both are easier to play. (Not trying to say it isn’t cool, just that you don’t need one 😅)
