I'll give you my take on this. Being a piano player the last thirty years and keyboardist since the early 80's I believe that deep inside keyboard players they really would like to play a guitar. Now that some keyboards are getting better at duplicating the guitar, that gives us keyboard players a way to make believe that we no how to play the guitar. Maybe the same thing goes for the guitar player. I can play around on several instruments, but none a proficiently as the keyboard.
Well, That's my take on it. For what its worth.
