Which is better for my piece? guitar or piano?

<------ Guitar

<----Piano

I wrote a song, it's a theme for the first town in an rpg. You know that town, you've seen it a hundred times. it's a pallet town, lumbridge, the little nameless village where you start your epic journey.

This isn't a pallet town remix, thats just a comparison. This is one of my own works.

Anyway, I can't decide whether it sounds better for piano or guitar. Im leaning towards piano right now cause it sounds kind of too high on one guitar part, but I really like how the one part near the end sounds on guitar rather then piano.

What do you think?

I think you should just pick which one you like best.

The acoustic guitar gives it sort of a folkish vibe where as the piano gives at a more epic feel.

Use both. Use the guitar one as the song that actually plays during the village, and use the piano version as a reprise for the "end credits song that combines all the themes in the game" later on. Or vice-versa. For the purposes of the description of where the song is meant to be played, the guitar would be better. But you should never let a good piano arrangement go to waste.

I would choose the piano version, it sounds less like General MIDI compared to guitar version and to me fits better for "a Town theme". Also, make some velocity changes into the notes so that they sound more human. I like the melody by the way.
