How To Play The Piano
Information and Resources To Help You Learn The Piano
The guitar is making it hard to play piano, what should I do?
Author: How to Play the Piano1 Jan
I’m learning guitar, and the tips of my finger are numb from holding down the strings. Now it’s really hard for me to play the piano because I can’t feel the keys. What should I do?
I’ve been playing piano for a long time.
Your fingers are numb from callouses and will "toughen up" the more you play guitar.
Don’t learn to play the piano with ‘touch’ when it comes to finding the keys. Just learn where they are without looking at the keyboard in relationship to your hands. Just as you do with a typewriter keyboard.
It is a very easy habit to pick up.
The velocity of the keys on the piano when you press them should come from "feeling" the muscles in your fingers.
You probably do all of these things anyway and just don’t realize it.
I have a finger that lost it’s tip and was reattached. It has absolutely no feeling what so ever in the tip, but I know how hard I am pressing the keys (I love to play touch sensitive keyboards on top of it all!) by paying attention to how the muscles in my upper (toward the knucke) fingers feel.
