i just started playing a couple days ago..ive been learning from watchin youtube tutorials..just wondering if anyone has any advice for me and what i should be doing..
i know i plan on learnin the keys and chords and everything..but since i dont know how to do that yet im just messin with youtube..how long did it take you to get good?
used to take professional lessons when i was younger, dropped it when i reached level 3 because it was interfering with my studies. i picked it up again but i play 100% by ear now.
i'm a funk/jazz style bassist now.
Do yall play on a keyboard or a real piano?
If you got a keyboard what kind is it?

Been playing since I was little, uncle is a Jazz pianist. Currently self-teaching guitar. I'm not a great note reader, most of what I play is just practicing using my ears. My family always y'know- made me play when I was little at parties and shit, so I played standards that the adults liked: stevie wonder, dionne warwick, burt bacharach, things like that. Jazz Standards and such. I didn't like piano then, but probably around High School I picked it up again; makes girls melt, for real. Anyway, I mostly play 90's classics, from whitney to mariah, John Legend to Justin Timberlake.
My advice is to get accustomed to chords and their basics. I was never good at memorization, so just knowing the basic chord progressions really helped. Check out the "Sudnow Method", it works on visualizing chords and such, not so much notation. Much better if you can play by ear, I mean, who brings piano books to a friend's house. I'm not saying completely stay away from site-reading, as learning is really difficult that way. You'll have to know THE basics for the piano. Like suggested above, take some musical theory classes if you have time. YouTube tutorials aren't always that helpful, they go very quickly for beginners and it may be more confusing. Anyway, I'll post some stuff up here, or on youtube. msg me if you have questions
Remember, PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE. cheers

Yeah pretty much the same for me, only replace Jazz Standards with Chopin and 90's classics with Coldplay and Ben Folds

Once you understand the Chord Progression Theory and the Scales of keys you're production will reach another level.
Dont just dick around to find chords that work together.
