Teaching myself piano

<< < (3/3)

Luke:
Go out and buy Rhapsody in Blue, sit down at the piano, and don't get up until you can play it perfectly.


I'll check back on you in six months to see how you're doing.


Seriously, though, if you don't feel like going out and buying some theory/lesson books or something, try taking a tune you know and playing it by ear. Starting with the simple monophonic melody, of course.

Thrillho:
Take it from a self taught pianist who learned guitar first - being a guitarist helps very little unless you can do hybrid picking or that trick where you strum with your little finger and tap with your other three fingers. Because it's not about speed on the piano any more, all of your fingers have to be doing different rhythms, and not just like fingerpicking, totally different rhythms.
