I've been playing guitar for 5 years (though I've all but stopped practically) because I've put all my energy into learning keys/piano, which I've been playing for about 2 years now. I think I've lost a little guitar skill, though I'm still pretty proficient (probably about 80% of my old skill), but I'm fine with that because I enjoy keyboards much more, and I am better at them.

I honestly think it's different for everyone. Not to give myself too much credit, but I've been playing keyboards for just under 2 years and pretty much everyone I play for tells me I am very good or a natural. I took 2 months of piano lessons when I was 9, and then didn't touch keys again until age 18. In 2 short years, proficiency wise, I was lightyears ahead of where I was with guitar in the same amount of time. Even after having played guitar regularly for 5 years, I had met people who had been playing for only 3 that were far better than me. I think taking those 2 months of lessons when I was young may have hardwired myself for piano to be more intuitive to me. All I know is that I get 50x the amount of enjoyment out of playing my synths than I do out of playing my 400 dollar acoustic or my 600 dollar electric guitar. (don't know why I mentioned price, since the total price of my keyboards was more than my guitars).

At 18 how did you learned to play piano? That's always what I'm wondering...
Books? Self-playing? Video? Teacher? You learned to read partitions?
And how much time did you put onto it per week?

i think it's a the hardest instrument to learn after violin but yes once you've learnt it it's great cause you can play a lot of things
nevertheless you need to be good in music theory and reading of notes to play the piano

piano isn't the second hardest instrument, and violin isn't the hardest... basically any non-tempered instrument (violins, cellos.. any instrument that doesn't have set steps) is fifty times harder than a tempered one (piano, guitar.. clearly defined steps) as you have to know exactly where to put your fingers with the non-tempered ones.

i play keyboards, drums, and guitars. guitar is the one i play the most, because i came from an appalachian family. when i started hearing guys like eddie van halen or steve vai and so on, i wanted to play shred guitar, but i'm just not precise enough yet. so i take a looser, improvisational, zen kind of approach to the instrument, and try to groove on the timbres and resonations and so on, rather than trying to be the best. it's led me into ragas and that, droney kind of stuff, even my bloody valentine-inspired effects experimentation. for me, my favourite aspect of playing music is the physical exercise of it, the feeling of working my hands in new ways or thrusting my body into a drum pattern.

I've played guitar for a big bunch of years and I'm thinking about learning piano. Don't know if I have the time or ambition, though. I want to buy a decent-but-not-expensive piano to put in my room, and I'd definitely get professional lessons. The guy who taught me me how to play guitar was excellent.

i have ordered an acoustic guitar called Fender DG-5SBST i think its a good guitar it costed around 180 euro or 214 usd
i have no skills in playing guitar from before so it will be a chalenge to learn how to play
imagine how great it would be to be able to play like Nick Drake which inspired me to buy a guitar

one of the hardest things to get through at the start is waiting for nerves to weaken/calluses to form on your fingertips. When you first start playing, its going to hurt like shit.
I don't even have calluses on my fingers anymore, but when I pick up a guitar and play, it doesn't hurt my fingers at all. Well, unless I play for longer than a half hour straight. I think the nerve endings just died a little bit on the tips or something.

theres always room, though you may need to sacrifice another article of furniture to find it. :D
My living room in my appartment is completely devoted to music, theres only enough room to sit on the couch and watch tv or work with our korg recorder which is sitting on the coffee table... the rest of the space is taken up by amps, 6 guitars (only 2 of which get played at a time), 2 keyboards, and drums.
