I figured there wouldn't be many at VN that do but oh well.

I've been playing for about 3 years now. One day I sat down and watched YouTube tutorials and picked it up pretty easily from there..I learn really quick somehow even tough I don't know how to read a single note of sheet music, I usually just play by ear.

And the ladies definitely like it :loco:

I took lessons for 9 years, and have barely touched a piano since I stopped. I'd love to be able to just sit down and play random popular songs, but I was just never that good.

It sucks. If you walk into a room and there's a piano, if you can just sit down and start playing Tiny Dancer, the girls flock. I'm thinking about starting to play infrequently just to get that back (perhaps memorize a couple)

I took classical piano for about 10 years, beginning at age 6. I still play, although not as often as I should, and my sight-reading is very rough now -- primarily by ear and mostly contemporary music. One day, I'd love to have a grand. My Roland stage keyboard is nice, but nothing compares to the real thing.

True. Hadn't thought of that

Last year when we did the Piano smash (with pianos that were in bad condition) there were about 10 people giving away pianos (only 2 of them were OK with us demolishing them for a cause). You can find plenty of good uprights for <$400

All I did was watch videos and learn how to play certain songs.

It would have an estimated time to learn an usually it's an hour or two, sometimes longer. But for some reason it only takes me about 10-15 minutes of playing a song over and over and I have it down.

I've never taken any lessons but my momma used to play all the time so maybe that's where I get it from.

Iwish I could play by ear. I only read music.

And I'm the exact opposite lol.

I wish I could read sheet music..same with playing guitar. I only know how to play but not read any music.

I mean, learning to play a song is pretty easy. Chances are good that I could have sat down and just started playing something 7 years ago, but now I'm out of the game.

It's dumb, but one of the reasons I want a new job is to be able to figure out what I really enjoy doing again, and I think piano is one of those things

Your post reminded me of this joke.

There was this guy walking down the road when he noticed a night club
ahead. He went in, went up to the bar and asked for a drink. The bar owner,
who was tending bar, said, "I've never seen you in her before."

The guy says, "Yes, I'm not from around here. I'm just passing through on my
way to find a job."

The owner asks, "What do you do?"

The guy says, "I write music and play the piano."

The owner, looking excited says, "REALLY! I have an ad in the paper looking
for
someone to play my piano. Please sit down at the keyboard and play for me
if you're interested."

The guy does and as he plays the piano the owner is in awe of his talent
and musical abilities. The owner says, "You play the piano more beautifully
than anyone I have ever heard! What is the name of that song?"

The guy says, "I wrote that song and the name is Two Lesbians ****ing Their
Brains Out."

The owner gasps and is taken back. He says, "My gosh, that's a terrible name
for such a beautiful song. Do you know any others?"

The guy smiles and plays again. Once more the owner is astounded by this
guy's talent and musical abilities. He's almost afraid to ask but he does
ask what the name of the song he just played.

The guy answers, "I ****ed Her All Night Until She Couldn't Take Anymore."

The owner again was shocked. The owner says, "Ok, you play beautifully and
the songs you have written are incrediable. I will hire you, but you have
to promise not to tell the name of your songs to the patrons." The guy
agrees.

That night the guy was playing the piano and the crowd was just as amazed
as the owner was with this man's musical abilities. After playing two
songs the crowd stood up and applauded. The guy was really pleased and
stood up to take a bow. When he stood up and faced the audience, it was
apparent that his zipper was open and his dick and balls were hanging out.


One of the patrons close to the piano says, "Sir, do you know your dick and
balls are hanging out?"

The guy smiles and says, "KNOW IT, I WROTE IT!"

I'll put it this way, I'd love to be able to pick up a song by ear, but I wouldn't give up my ability to read music for that.
