Shoot, singin and playing piano is ALOT easier for me than on bass, and Ive been playing both for atleast 6 yrs.

i tend to agree with you, i find it much harder to play piano, which i have been playing for nearly 9 years, and sing, than i do to play bass, which i have been playing for nearly 4 years, although i think it's beacause many of my bass lines are quite melodic in terms of following the vocals .. just my opinion :)

I've done it before on both instruments. Some songs are a lot easier to play and sing at the same time than others. And I do agree that once you learn your instrument adding vocals is similar to adding another hand. Sometimes its a bit trickier to add that third hand when the other two are all over the place. But if we're talking lead sheet style playing life is easy regardless of the instrument. And with regards to the c flat comment, if you know the scale its ever black key plus b(n) and e(n)

Let me add to my last comment ... Guitars/Basses are more "logically" laid out. The bass is more logically and symetrically laid out versus the guitar. I don't know squat of the guitar. B string throws me off if I try to apply scales that I know on the bass. fun instrument but the bass is my calling

Just for conversation because music is a very deep subject that is worth talkng about, the only aspect of the piano that is in your words "easily laid out" is the key of C. How is C flat easily laid out? As far as being laid out guitars/basses are laid out more easily Once you know your instrument, again in MY opinion, adding vocals is another finger or hand that coordinates with the music being played. Have you tried to sing and play at the same time? Try it! I believe you can do it.

[Sitruc9999z]

That would be true if the piano wasn't so easily laid out. With guitars and basses you have to know the tuning inside and out and also be able to play notes in different areas of the guitar (even saying it this way is an oversimplification). Takes a lot more mind power to do so. Especially when you're playing note for note as opposed to chords. With the piano all of your notes are spelled out for you even the octaves.

Singing and playing bass:you would use at least 4 fingers,so your voice`d be the 5th fingers.
