Yeah, do what ever you are comfortable with, I was drawn away from the piano by the guitar, I learnt some major and minor chords on it (still remember them). But after a few months, coming to think of it I came back to piano. And suprisingly my music practice took a hike upwards, and now, I am never going to consider giving up piano for guitar again.

The reason why I like piano, is that you can learn to read two staves at once, get the knowledge on how to play music rhythmetically and dynamically as well as chord and scale knowledge, as if you learn piano it would make moving on to other instruments much easier. It is a good beginners instrument.

i don't know of any theory books, as where you live, things are probably different there to here in Oz.

But remember it is your preference.
