heres the problem,,, I play piano and guitar in a three piece band, similar to Radiohead . Im the singer, the guitarist and the pianist ,,,and in some songs I have to change from guitar to piano, and recording that is pretty easy but when it concerns the live performances,, I usually have to improvise or play the piano part in guitar,, but I was just wondering : what if there is a pedal that make sguitar sound like piano ............. IS THERE ONE'????????

To truely get close to the piano sound you'll need MIDI Pickups and a Guitar Synth like Roland make to plug it into. If you've ever heard Muse when they were touring around the time of Showbiz Matt was using a Roland Guitar Synth to do the Piano intro of Sunburn.

get a midi secuence or even better a piano player, i think if you stop playing "guitar" to play "piano"(midi) the overall sound will decay a little.
or do what i do: got a keyboard player just for live shows, he's not an "official" member.... but who cares about that? he get laid anyway (mmmmmm sometimes with my bassist):mad:

Or you could just do it like Geddy from Rush, play the keyboard with the guitar straped on you, and then just step back...
However if you are playing a piano, not a keyboard, then you should try midi, as formentioned.
A pianist might just be a good step though, cuz some things you can play on a piano are just too difficult on guitar...especially if you use both of your hands...
