I mean, I've learned guitar, but I can still do better with the piano and violin.

No, the PIANO is "the" instrument of rock, because rock and roll is singing boogie woogie (Fats Domino!) and the piano is a "singing drum."
Uh. The overwhelming majority of rock songs are COMPOSED on an acoustic piano. Even if the composer is a good lead guitarist.

The Guitar is THE instrument of Rock because you can better grab it and Smash it on the ground than you can with a piano. The violin is too small for the dramatic effect.
Secondly, you will look like a fool when you jump up and down with a piano strapped to your back. If you tried that with the violin, you may get a broken neck.
But the most important thing is that with the Guitar, you can do lots of pitch bending. You have to open the piano to do that. On the violin, the sound is just not evil enough.
That is why the ELECTRIC GUITAR is THE instrument of ROCK!

Electric guitar was MADE for R&R. Piano is OK, and a FEW have rocked with it, but it's a better instrument for blues or jazz.

I have never seen a rock (and roll) group without electric guitars. But I have seen a lot of other instrumentation from one or two other instruments up to and including full orchestras. Rock is what you make it.

You can't rock on a violin. Stick with the guitar or piano. Drums or base are also o.k.

You can kind of rock on piano.
You cannot rock on violin.
You can totally rock on guitar. I think the guitar is the best instrument ever invented.

I think guitar makes rock, however, that's not to say you can't jam on other instruments as well. If you couldn't, rock wouldn't be the same

FIRST OFF, violin + rock = yellowcard. yellowcard sucks BALLS. avoid any similarities with yellowcard at all.
next, how many rock bands dont use a single guitar?
compare this to rock bands that dont use a single violin/piano.
anyway, there's plenty of bands that use both piano and guitar.
just find what sound you like and go with it.

The guitar is a rock&roll icon. Nothing tops an old six string!
