After playing guitar for 25 years, I quit guitar and got a digital piano.

I practiced enough to learn to play Satie - Gnossienne No. 1 in the right hand and then sold the piano.

My fav music is Chopin, Satie, Ravel, Debussy, Rachmaninoff, Ligeti on piano.

The distance between starting from zero on the guitar, to anything ever composed for the guitar is a 100X less than starting from zero on piano to Ligeti.

Learning to solo on electric guitar, play the flute, play the alto sax to me makes so much more sense than trying to learn to play piano or classical guitar as an adult. Classical guitar is hard enough. Piano is just a whole other level to that.

A monophonic instrument is just going to be so much better bang for the buck in terms of time woodshedding. Or a percussion instrument.
