Learning piano is a lot like learning typing to me, and I'm used to typing so I find that easier to pick up than guitar. As for guitar style, I'm starting with acoustical first. Later if I ever master the basics of that I might try electric, but that'll be a while yet.

If piano is like typing, I'd probably do OK, except for not following the rules exactly...

Acoustic, OK. That's all I have. I was kinda meaning a more specific style, as in music genre...or are you pretty much concentrating on learning chords right now?

I learned some classical and other fingerstyle, but never went as far as I shoulda with it...partly because they're essentially solo styles, and I was starting to play with others more. Then Dad started wanting to play swing and I gave up. ;-) Barre chords are HARD! My little brother who's only been playing a year or so seems to have no problem with 'em, though. Sigh. Ain't that always the way?
