You can play rhythm and lead with both hands at the same time, and you can also play every genre (Metal has plenty of bands with keyboards, e.g. Dream Theater, Opeth, Symphony X etc.). Heck, synthesizers enable you to literally sound like anything (even dogs, chickens or farts). Also, the piano sounds good by itself no matter what, while the guitar only sounds good by itself in certain genres like Flamenco, Classical or Funk (for Rock and Metal, you need drums and bass).

The year is 2080. The world has been separated into three races: Purebreds, Half-Breeds, and Muggles. The Purebreds are the ones that are born into a musical family and get all the privileges like going to prestigious schools and getting high class instruments. They usually look down on the other two races and only procreate with other Purebreds. The Half-Breeds are people whose parents consist of one Purebred and one Muggle, a Purebred and a Half-Breed, or a Half-Breed and a Half-Breed. "But I thought Purebreds don't procreate with the other races" you say. I said "usually" so it can happen in rare cases(extremely rare when it comes to Muggles). Half-Breeds are the middle class of society and get instruments with decent quality. They are usually envious of the Purebreds and look down on Muggles. They only procreate with each other and occasionally Purebreds. Never Muggles. Muggles are the people who have no musical Bach-ground. They are the lowest of the low in society. They get elementary school quality instruments. Muggles usually never go to a musical school. They are looked down upon the most in society and can only procreate with each other. The most famous Muggle is Hermione Ford Ranger who had a whole Liszt of instruments that she could play. Sorry but you say "purebred" made my imagination go haywire.

I'm an Instrumental Fingerstyle Acoustic Guitar player and I had the same reaction as Twoset when I heard "ELECTRIC guitar" listed as #1. It reinforces the dumb misconception that if you don't play Electric, you're not a real guitarist. So cliche.

[@sc1ss0r1ng]

Lmao, but it's easier to fool people that you know how to play decently on electric. I played for 3 years on guitar, until I got hand problems because I practiced too much.. I started out about one year with electric, and it didn't take long for me to get good at power chords and small solos. When you get your power chords down and know a few scales, the distortion will definitely be in your favor if you mess up a little here and there. And it's just so easy to make a sound that sounds "cool" or "bad-ass" and that people will think "wow, that's sick man". Then I went for acoustic (classical) for the last two years, and boy... A whole different world. You actually had to be good to sound good, and just a tiny mistake can ruin the sound of the piece you're playing. There's so much to it, and bringing out a good sound, even if you're playing a simple piece, is easier said than done.. I'm not saying electric guitar can't be cool or challenging, but there are major differences between electric and acoustic guitars. Acoustic, in my opinion, is harder to get good at and sound good. Those easy power chords you play on the electric? Nope, they don't sound so good without distortion anymore. You need more actual harmony. And don't even get me started on classical acoustic, fingerstyle, etc.

[@AntonBetita]

@@sc1ss0r1ng Yeah you don't need to get started on fingerstyle. I know of it. I AM a fingerstyle guitarist.

[@AntonBetita]

@@ORCINUS yes, kind of. Generally speaking, acoustics are fitted with higher gauge strings than electric guitars, which means the strings are thicker and can be harder to press down. But you can go higher or lower gauge with either instrument.

[@genericereal]

@@ORCINUS For some context, I'm a classically trained guitarist who later went on to play primarily electric guitar (mostly blues and jazz but now I'm interested in RnB and neo-soul thanks to various Korean guitarists and Mateus Asato). To add on to what Anton was saying, classical (aka nylon-string) and especially acoustic guitars generally have higher actions ("action" refers to the distance between the strings and the fretboard). Also, you can also change the tension of the strings (low, medium, and high-tension are the common three types), which affects how easily they can be plucked and the tone. In addition, in my experience, electric guitars typically have more narrow fretboards, meaning that the stringers are closer together--for most people that makes it easier unless you have larger hands. However, in defense of electric guitars, you can still play fingerstyle on electric guitars; most modern and contemporary jazz guitarists use electric jazz guitars, after all, gypsy jazz guitarists being a notable exception. And electric guitar strings are the same what you'd find on acoustic (steel)--the action and gauge is what usually makes them easier to pluck. And the main selling point of electric guitars imho is their versatility. There's simply way more that you can do with them because they're electric. That said, I would agree with Nizzle that it's more difficult to sound "good" on an acoustic guitar, either steel- or nylon-string.

[@pauloguitar4366]

@@ORCINUS there's this common misconception that classical/acoustic is "harder" to master. Thing is, you can be good at acoustic, and suck at electric, or vice versa, they're different instruments with different techniques, or you can be good at both. What may work on a classical guitar might not work on electric, also, you have to worry about muting strings way more on electric. Yeah, it is harder to press strings on acoustic, but it shouldn't be TOO hard, unless your guitar is with too much of a high action. Anyway, none is "harder" than the other, they have very different difficulties, i enjoy playing both, knowing basic fingerstyle on acoustic. Another misconception is thinking you can be more "sloppy" on electric, this is simply not true, a good trained ear can detect sloppiness on electric guitar, as long as you're not using some kind of beehive distortion, then it'll sound bad regardless if you're clean or not lol. So yeah, it all depends on what your goal is, do you wanna study classical? Find a good teacher, wanna be good at electric? Find a good teacher too. That's all there is to it.

You are correct that the piece was based on Bach's cello suite, but the youtube video that was played is actually titled "the cello song".

Hello! I just wanted to thank you guys so much for inspiring me to learn to play the violin and even go for my dreams. I have always wanted to play the violin since I was little, but I always thought it was this majestic instrument that’s hard to find or something. (I was really young at the time). Now, at the age of 19, I was finally able to get a violin and I have been able to progress faster than I thought. I really can’t thank you guys enough 🙏🏽 It’s really a way to destress from my life. And not only that, you guys have even inspired me to become a new KZbinr with my little brother. I remember watching you guys from the very beginning and seeing you guys grow. Such an inspiration.

Dumbmojo: number 1, electric guitar Every classical musicians ever: ayt, imma head out

[@matthewv789]

But the thing is, it really can be a great instrument but just as rock people think all classical is just Bach or Mozart or those two Beethoven symphony excerpts (5 and finale of 9), and that what makes classical violin playing special is how fast they can play how many high notes... so, too, that is exactly how classical musicians view rock guitar, thinking only of Metallica as an example of supposedly the best that electric guitar has to offer, and punk as the standard for everything else. People might think differently about classical if their entry was through Sibelius’s Symphony No. 7, and differently about rock guitar if their introduction was through Steve Hackett, for instance.

[@abbygonzales3439]

@@matthewv789 @Matthew Vaughan i agree with this to a certain extent, i am a classically trained musician (piano gaaang) but i also play the electric guitar and other electric instruments goes well with music prod and such. This is a why i take offense when you said that classical musician only view the electric guitar as metallica's playing and because people learn. Even two set was put in their place with the recorder gang. In all fairness, dumbmojo's reason why electric guitar is on their number one list is that stereotype you said and that it is flexible with any genre. If you must know, the reason why we, or I atleast, reacted in such sarcastic way because 1) it is overglorified, 2) we too thought it was super cool in our teen years and everybody i knew was so into it and over time, it kinda just became a normal instrument and kinda lost its zing, and 3) after all the sacrilegious things said by dumbmojo about the other instruments on the list it was like, "i had enough" moment.

I think what gets me so riled up about this isn't the instruments on the list or their ordering (after all, if some random person released a video with the exact same ordering, I wouldn't care so much), but that dumbmojo is, at their heart, a corporation. This isn't some person's list of what they think are the top ten coolest instruments. This is a corporation that looked at what everyone thinks is cool, possibly even fucking *focus tested* their list, then came up with half-assed justifications for each instrument. It's a corporation trying their hardest to seem hip and cool but being so. fucking. easy to see though. It is a list with no soul.

[@traberge]

pfff analog synthesizers are amazing. If they were exclusively talking DAWs and VSTs then sure that's kinda weak for the list, but having an analog or even analog/digital hybrid set up of keyboards, synths, drum machines, etc. especially if you're modular/eurorack... that shit is super cool. I love acoustic and classic instruments just as much. As you say, they have their place!

@@4321user-_: Yeah, but their ranking isn't too out of line with what people who are knowledgeable might rank them.

Strauss, Dvorak and Puccini). Would my list have looked different? Sure, I personally am biased towards Mussorgsky, Saint-Saëns and Prokofiev, and also like Mendelssohn more than some on the Watchmojo list, but theirs is not laughable by any means.

And yet a synthesizer works basically the same way as a laptop where you plug in a midi keyboard and map sounds to the keys.

[@lainet]

@@MrProthall Sorry, no it doesn't. The difference is in the unique physical user interface and the expressiveness of a particular synthesizer _instrument_ in the hands of a professional player. There is much more variation to that, than what a regular MIDI-mapping can bring. That's why all synthesizers can't be considered "one instrument".

To be fair, there are at least a few very notable exceptions in rock and metal. Metallica’s Cliff Burton actually wrote quite a bit during his time in the band, Lemmy from Motorhead also sang and acted as the frontman, and Iron Maiden wouldn’t exist without their bassist, Steve Harris. Also there are many songs where the intro or even the whole song is defined by a bass riff, I personally always think of Tool, Primus, Sly and the Family Stone, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Synthesizer is not even a musical instrument per se, it’s a portable digital workstation for music production. Sure some people use it as a piano alternative, which is, ehm, not recommendable: synth is meant to help find and play around with new sounds, not to replace a classical keyboard, which is why some high-end synths don’t even have built-in keyboards.

[@matthewv789]

I hear what you are saying, but back in the day analog synths had distinct sounds and playing styles, a bit like how organ or harpsichord are distinct keyboard instruments. 1970s Genesis contains some of the best examples of this, for instance, in the keyboard playing of Tony Banks (which also includes electric organ, electric piano, and mellotron, which was a primitive analog tape sampler). It’s a very distinct and consistent voice in the band.
