Musicians often branch out to a second instrument after they have put in the time to understand and play one well. It’s common to want to play any instrument you pick up, and if Music Theory and standard notation are all the same, then theoretically, you should be able to.
In a way, this is true, but ultimately you’ll have to put work into both instruments because they’re structured differently despite the fact many of the musical principles can be applied to both of them in essentially the same way. Put simply…
You can learn to play piano and guitar at the same time, but it’s a lot easier to learn only one. That said, once you have a solid understanding of one, you’ll have a better idea of how to proceed with the next. Either way, you’ll need great time management skills.

If you want to learn both, there is a pragmatic way to go about it so you don’t get overwhelmed and give up on both. It’s very easy to stop learning another instrument because it takes too much time to learn both, or it is just too hard. This article will help explain how to learn both and why it’s possible.
By the way, I’m always on the lookout for deals in the music industry (there’s usually something if you know where to look). Right now, there are 2 deals that stick out to me.

When you learn music theory, you are learning about the common relationships between the notes. That is pretty much what music theory is, not an instrument or how to play an instrument, only the relationship between notes in general.
So, it’s not a bad idea to put in the time to learn theory because it relates to all music and will help you navigate any instrument easier.For instance, looking at a piano, the keys are set up like a spreadsheet, the notes are in order of the intervals of the C Major scale. You can see the intervals right at the tips of your fingers. Once you know the white keys, the black keys are the next step.
Here are the notes of the C Major Scale on the piano (check out my guide on how to make a piano song for more information)
Separate Tracks To Learn To Play Along With Guitar, Drums, Bass, Piano Or Other Instruments
Looking at the fretboard of a guitar, you can then envision six rows of keys stacked up on top of each other. The intervals are still the same, ie, major thirds, minor thirds, diminished 5ths, etc, so all you have to know is what the names of the strings are and the semi-tonal differences between the frets.
Looking at a chord on the piano, say a D major 7th chord, if we know theory, we know it will have four notes because it’s a D Major triad with an added 7th. On piano, you will play (almost) any combination of D, F#, A, and C# as long as D is the tonal center.
To find this on the guitar you will have to also find any combination, but vertically, because you can’t play two notes on the same string at once. In other words, you can learn piano and guitar simultaneously, mainly because music theory and standard notation are the same, regardless of what instrument you’re playing.

You won’t have to learn different theory for different instruments; you’ll just have to know where to find the notes on each instrument.That said, piano and guitar have some similarities that will help you to learn both easier. If you start on either one, you’ll see that the frets and keys line up the same notes, but the piano is one long succession of notes versus the guitar being 6.
You’ll also notice that scales have the same intervals, they are just either linear on piano and vertical on guitar.An easy way to learn both simultaneously would be to play a chord on the piano and then outline the chord with your fingers on the guitar. Finding each note, transposing them from a horizontal pattern to a vertical pattern. A lot of them are moveable on both instruments, so they are easy to memorize.
Time management is essential if you want to learn anything, and a little bit of time goes a long way. The standard timeframe for practicing anything is about an hour a day. Of course, it’s not exactly easy when you already have a lot going on, so if you have to, you can break it up into smaller bite-sized pieces.
Harmonising The Major Scale Why Do Certain Chords Go Together?
Taking a mental break is also important. Having an hour between subjects or separating them into different parts so the day will also help beat overstimulation. Take breaks if you want to put in a lot of time practicing, playing can get addicting once you start unraveling things, but just be mindful of how you practice.
Thirty minutes of mindful practice is much better than 3 hours of note repetition – also called noodling. And really this is the most important part of this entire article. Carving out 1-2 hours a day, 30 minutes for guitar and 30 minutes for piano, or 1 hour for each, is how you learn these two skills. Time management is where it’s at like I said in my other article on learning to play the piano by yourself.
If you want to learn how to play the guitar and the piano in conjunction with some music theory studies, here are my recommendations:

I’ve written about and mentioned these books many times in other articles because they were really helpful for me in learning music theory once I got serious about it. These are the basic rudiments of theory so a lot can be learned here, however, there’s a lot more to learn from there on in. These two books are a great start.
If you are going to learn theory, I would ensure that you always get a book with an answer key or an answer book because then you’ll know that you’re actually getting things right.
Mastering the Guitar – The book with which I learned how to read music on guitar (although my sight-reading skills aren’t the best these days)
Playing The Piano Like A Guitarist 1.
When I took guitar lessons as a kid these were the books that I used, although, I started at 2A because I learned with another book before then with a different teacher. Those were the days.
Finding a good instructor is a great idea, no matter what skill level or what instrument you are playing. As a matter of fact, you want to have a trainer or an instructor in pretty much anything that you do, not just with playing an instrument.
The instructor can help you with a lot of things like proper hand positions and rhythm. An extra set of eyes and ears will help guide you through something you can’t hear or understand as a beginner.That said, having an instructor isn’t 100% necessary.

With the help of YouTube and books, you can achieve a lot. In the case that you want something to replace your teacher, PianoForAll is probably the best thing you can get for the money because it’s like an E-Book that includes a ton of video lessons.
I’ve written about it before in my guide on the best way to learn piano for music production, but it’s worth saying again that this E-Book/Video Course combo is particularly good at teaching concepts in an applicable way.
JamPlay is my favorite program for the guitar that’ll fast-track your learning in record time. It’s not a bad idea to spend about an hour a day on each program for an extended period of time. If you stick to these programs, they will work for you.

They are set up to guide anyone, no matter their age or familiarity with playing music is. I like JamPlay because they have Emil Werstler on there whose playing I particularly like, and if you use the coupon code “1buck” here on their site, you get the first month for just one dollar.
When you learn the basics of guitar or piano, there is more repetition and memorization to the learning process, so it’s easy to practice these while doing something leisurely. You could just work on things during commercial breaks and, after a few shows, be a lot better than when you sat down.
That said, this isn’t the best type of practicing because it’s not focused practice. This is more like noodling, but the fact of the matter is that noodling is often great for memorization. Just the other night I was watching
Duke Ellington Standards Piano Play Along Volume 38
When I get up the following day, I pretty much had it memorized. Once the song has been memorized, particularly the notes, you can then get more focused on the rhythm, the quality of notes, and how everything sounds through an amplifier during focused practice time.
Learning the same songs on each instrument is a great way to identify the similarities and differences between the two and how particular concepts are applied. As a
