Hi everyone. Im currently looking to start an instrument over the summer! I've always been a singer, and would like to start an instrument to accomeny vocals.

I was thinking either piano, or guitar (i have a little expirience in piano)

Does anyone have any tips/ or opinion on which i should choose?

What kind of music do you make? What are you into?

I think you should learn piano..ive heard once you've learned to play Piano you can pick up a lot quicker with other instruments.

Get something unconventional. The whole singer/guitarist, singer/pianist thing is too much of a sthick.

Get a Hurdy Gurdy.

I used to think this. Don't play games. Music is mobile, play something that is too. Trumpet, Guitar, Violin, Harmonica, Saxophone, Drums, whatever. Piano was great and I took lessons for about 6 years when it was all said and done, but I could never show up places and play. I couldn't plug in my keyboard on someones front porch and have fun. It was cool, and I understand the theory books fine, but music was never really about theory books.

Get something mobile. Best advice I could give. Just because 8 guys play guitar on your street, doesn't mean that you're useless.

Piano's hardcore as well.

It's all about theory to, which will help you with all other instruments.
