A REAL PIANO HAS STRINGS--THE NOTES ARE HAMMERED WHEN PLAYED IE: C-E-G.
A GUITAR HAS STRINGS--IN THE SAME OCTAVE, IF YOU HAMMER THEM INSTEAD OF PLUCK OR STRUM THEM, THE CHORD WILL BE SIMILAR, WITH THE SAME INVERSION.
THE TRICK IS IN THE TECHNIQUE USED TO ACTIVATE THE STRING'S SOUND--THEY WILL NEVER SOUND EXCATLY THE SAME--JUST SIMILAR!
KEYBOARDS AND SOUND MODULES ARE AN EXTENSION, WITH MODIFIED SOUNDS, AND, AN INFINITY OF COMBINATIONS OF INSTRUMENT SOUNDS--SAMPLES HAVE MADE IT HARD TO TELL THE INSTRUMENT THAT'S BEING PLAYED--
WE'VE COME A LONG WAY FROM SCOTT JOPLIN'S PIANO AND HOMEMADE, MOUNTAIN FRETLESS GUITARS TO TODAYS SYNTHESIZED INSTRUMENTATION.

"Do not endeavor to be the smartest kid in a dumb class. Instead, you are better off being the dumbest kid in the smartest class, where you will be challenged and you will learn. If you aren't growing, you are dying." -Brian Austin Whitney
