I think nothing offers greater inspiration than a role model, preferably one that masters one or the other (piano or guitar). Of course, in the case of Prince, it's impossible since he plays both equally well. Piano role models are alot harder to come by in pop culture, but sometimes guitar can seem cliche or more like a prop. So trust your instincts, and follow the path of what turns you on the most!


It's true. Each instrument dictates the kind of music that's played to some extent (I know you can play punk on violin, it's just not common). So a desire to play a certain kind of music might make the decision for you (do you want ot be like Jimi or like Michael McDonald? okay not the best example for piano!)

People are drawn to certain instruments, and it would be wrong to ignore the pull, whatever the reason. The attraction will only inspire you.

And if you can't choose, I still say play both.
