Learn to play a song that you like.

Can you play at all?
An absolutely basic song is a good start.
It proves to yourself you can do it.

From there you start to branch out.
But when really learning, once you have a foundation is best done with songs you like.

Also, of course, learn Scales and Arpeggios.

If you have early troubles reading music sheets, an easy start would be to learn the basics of the four chords.

Plenty of videos out there on YouTube for this.

I know how to play some Zelda songs, and like the first 20 seconds of Erik Satie - Gymnopdie No.1. YouTube videos help a lot. Especially with the playback speed slowed down. Im a decent beginner.

I guess both. Nothing too hard, though lol. Anything beginner or intermediate. Im also working on my vocals, so songs with singing is also fine.

I cant read sheet music lol. Watching videos like that one is how I learn. Thats a good song.

ZangsBeard posted...
Why?

Because I tried theory on the guitar, and it goes in one ear and out the other. I became really good at the guitar throughout the years by using my ear. Obviously theory would make me even better, but IDK maybe Im stupid.

Oh, I wasn't making a judgement; I was just curious. I've been playing guitar for like 30 years and I dabbled in keyboard. No where to keep one right now though.

Absolutely not. I never tried to learn it, but it seems so hard from what I saw. Heres something I can play on the guitar (tab version), but I cant read this (sheet version).

Learn which key is which.
Then learn something as easy as Oh went the saints go marching in.
It will outlay the basics, and you will know you can play a song.

Ironically the first song I ever learned to play was the Meow Mix Song.

Moonlight Sonata


I would say the C Maj Prelude from Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier.

But really something as simple as. Oh when that saints go marching in is the better choice.
Just to get started.

That looks very simple to play. Watching stuff like this is the only way for me to learn songs at the moment. https://youtu.be/cQZipyI0Wzo

I will eventually learn beginners theory. I do have a good ear, though. I just dont know what notes Im playing.

Do you not even know which notes are where on the keyboard yet? To start of you could just find middle C and then get some tape and tape the notes on the correct keys until you get the hang of it.

Ill write these down. Im okay at singing, but I am getting a little better. I do have a mic right by my keyboard. Obviously if I do Crawling its going to be a mellow version haha.

I love that style. I have similar songs I made myself that sound like that. My singing isnt as good as her, though lol.

Is this a piano request or guitar request? Sounds super easy on the guitar.

Yes, but I wouldnt find it instantly. I would either have to use my ear or the tape idea would help a lot. I know all the notes and their octaves. C C# D D# E F F# G G# A A# B. Its the same as the guitar, so I know Im not completely lost. I have just been playing the guitar for over 10 years, so Im familiar with the fretboard.
