I still use guitars to play weird tunings and get ideas from there, but keyboards have all but replaced guitars for my songwriting now.
I don't know, I've been able to play basic chords, simple progressions and short melodic flourishes for about two-thirds of my life at this point, but I'm really frustrated by my limitations on keyboards compared to guitar, which I can play with at least some degree of fluidity.StevenO wrote: ↑Thu Jun 14, 2018 5:10 amJag, you can do it. Keyboards are easy. Piano is hard. Take it slow, learn a few chords, and just have fun. You already probably know your guitar chords and chords for songs, so just learn the keyboard equivalents of those and learn to navigate the keys that way. Trust me, you can do it.
I realise putting the hours in is the answer in both cases, but I feel like there's a wall you can hit pretty early on that you might never get past without many, many hours of determined dedication.
