Does playing guitar help cubing?

[theace]

Hasn't really helped me a lot. Then again, I'm not Paul Gilbert or Petrucci or anything...

Half of the people here don't know what they're talking about.

With talk like that, you better be able to explain yourself.

I agree with him, and it's pretty obvious as to why, if one plays guitar. The movements are completely different, as someone's already said.

Playing guitar helps....well....playing guitar.
Cubing helps cubing.

Playing violin does not help you master accordian, nor does tuba help you with the xylophone.

i play cello dont know if it helps or not. and dont know if cubing helps playing cello either.

Interestingly enough, Trombone will help you with the saxophone:rolleyes:

on-topic: I "try" to play guitar but I don't really think it helps with cubing at all.

I would have to disagree. One who already is proficient on one instrument will have an easier time learning any other instrument. It may not help with physical movements (it may, though), but that's not all that playing an instrument is about.

that's what I was getting at.
Yes musical skill will help you with another, but the physicality to it is different.

the thinking involved in rubik's is different from guitar
and so are the physical movements.

I guess playing guitar and piano can help with OH..

 

[Kenneth]

Playing the piccolo will help solving the 2x2x2
Playing a trumpet will help solving the 3x3x3
Saxophone for 4x4

Yes, the tuba for 7x7x7 ... who would have guessed that?

 

[Faz]

I think it helped me but the other way around cause at school I wouldn't have my guitar with me but I would have my cube I think it helps your fingers either way.

 

[splinteh]

Lol, but with guitar, you get more chicks

I play a lot of instruments, including guitar and piano. Playing guitar might help with finger strength in the left hand. If your doing finger style, then it would help with the right hand also, but I doubt it would help your cubing at all. I mean, there is a big difference between a G chord and a T perm...
