Sure, but it takes much less effort to play something in different keys on a guitar than on a piano because the fingers don't change just because the key did. It takes more practice on a piano to play a song you already know in another key, not really so for the guitar if you're using movable forms.
- jtheory 15y agoYup, I agreed with that already, I think, though it's a special case. If you're switching major/minor, for example, it's about equal... for some pieces slightly easier on piano because the scales are horizontally laid out more obviously, whereas some guitar fingerings won't easily convert by just shifting over a few notes of the scale -- you're limited by the way your fingers can bend.
- gnaritas 15y agoAgreed.
