Piano is better than the guitar

Firstly, my opponent claims that because the piano is more sophisticated and elegant, that the piano is better than the guitar. I would like to remind people what the purpose of music is, to entertain, and sophistication does not necessarily bring entertainment. People aren"t entertained when someone is playing piano as they all are sitting down sipping tea. However, when someone bring out the guitar and starts playing it, whatever genre they choose to play because I can"t imagine one in which one can not, everyone starts dancing and enjoying themselves. Seems like people hear piano for study rather than for someone to enjoy themself, and in life what is needed most is for everyone to enjoy themself. Second, everything my opponent says in his next paragraph is about how a piano sounds better than a guitar, voters don"t be fooled by this to be a cotention, all he basically stated was "I think piano sounds better" in which I reply, "I think guitar sounds better". Whats sounds good is in the ear of the beholder. Now, my opponent brings out that people are attracted to listening to things from the different eras, and my opponent then says that the guitar is older, but it has been ruined by heavy metal and rock, but this doesn"t make sense if he is trying to make an argument about it because he is essentially saying that the past eras of guitar has been erased from history. It obviously has not, the old eras of guitar are still there for people to listen to, therefore his comment helped my case. And again I don"t see how he can say that a timeless effect can be ruined by heavy metal and rock? Now, it is true that heavy metal and rock is not elegant, but who wants it to be? Elegant is synonymous with simple, and I don"t believe people who want to be enjoying themselves would want something so simple, but instead something more complex. Why do we usually see way more guitars at concerts than pianos, because concerts are where people go to dance, sing along, and many other things with their friends. Thirdly, I would not say that the piano is more complex at all. Doesn"t everyone have that time in elementary school when the first thing kids used as an instrument to test, aside from the recorder, was the piano, and not the guitar? Why not the guitar? Because it would be too difficult for the kids. "All you have to do to make a sound on piano is press a key. On guitar, you have to pick at a string (often with a pick) and simultaneously press a string down with your other finger. It is more like trying to do two or three things at once, while piano-playing is less complex." Voters imagine how easy it is to put one finger on a key, then on other finger on a key. http://gillespiemusic.com... Fourtly, my opponent says the he would be surprised that guitar does an orchestral piece like a piano, well of course, to reply I would ask him to surprise me with someone playing the hardest rock song on a piano, and only the piano. Other than that, the guitar does great on it"s own and as backup, I"d be surprised if anyone thinks more people fall asleep in guitar solos then piano solos. Also voters pay attention to the exaggeration my opponent makes here and the best way I could expose this is with an analogy. If 90 people play simple tunes on their flute, that all sums up to a very simple thing to reproduce on the piano. If you look at flight of the bumble, with all the instruments and notes, it would be something not hard for the piano to reproduce. AND EVEN BETTER. My opponent makes a mistake by saying he would be surprised if a guitar could do that, without searching online videos of guitars actually playing flight of the bumblebee, because I looked it up and was successful in finding multiple guitar videos. Fiftly, If you look at the most of pianos you will find that they are easily less transportable than guitars which plays a factor in which is better because if something is really then it would be logical that it"s better the more places you get to use it. If you look up the weight of pianos you would see they range in the hundreds in pounds (The one"s I found most common are from 500-700), and guitars are in the tens (The one"s I find most common are 7-20). http://blog.flatrate.com...

(Guitars) Sixtly, it is also logical that if you find something to your liking that you would want to have more, or be able to buy one when something happens to your old one. Anyone can search for themselves the ridiculous costs of pianos compared to pianos.
