Sam, I've been in music since I was like 10. I've played the trumpet and other brass intruments. And by far the piano was harder for me. The basics was ok, but actually playing a decent song is a bitch. Chords left hand melody right. You have to know major and minor chords. If your ammerdextrious(sp) then you'll have a better chance. And I'm serious I've been in jazz bands, orchestra, marching bands, and competition bands and the piano is hard shit to learn.
