I observed some who learn to play piano. They are easy to learn guitar, bass or drums. Instead, they learn the guitar or bass or drums, have trouble playing piano. Did you experience this?

I've been playing piano for almost 15 years and I've ever tried several times to learn guitar but all failed. Playing piano basically means your left hand and right hand are doing the same thing, while playing a string instrument means different tasks for each hand, which make me lose the sense of balance. I'm seriously considering taking a violin lesson right now, but the experieces with guitar makes me hesitate.....

Learning the guitar is much easier than the piano. I don't believe you failed to learn the guitar. You can start with the classical guitar (nylon string).

I myself couldn't believe that too but I did fail several times and get really frustrated. Everybody says that the classical guitar is the easiest one to pick up but that didn't work for me.

I want to help you, but I do not know what your problem. I think you must often see people play the guitar.
