I will not compare my progress. I will not compare my progress.
I think I agree, from personal experience anyway, that if I just wanted to memorize a piece I could easily repeat and remember what I'm supposed to play. I'm really trying to focus on being able to read and follow along with sheet music, because I feel it's a really important skill and will help me not only with the piano, but really anything I want to explore in music.
This guy did a great job though, I'm so impressed! I find blues really hard to play because of the rhythms of everything.
Awesome video, again! Thank you!

yeah you could tell def a jazz / blues guitarist kind of guy that helped him since the guitar is 1 , 5, 7, 3 , he already knew the dropped or rootless voicings (if he knew the theory and not tabs)when he went to the piano.
but then some coutner point stuff and than mozart alberti bass on a juno with no pedal purchase, effiency is mad.

In general I think the 1 year progress videos can be demotivating in the sense that most focus on pieces that were learned during a specific timeframe, not how many technique exercises etc. were done like a Rocky montage. With harsh Youtube comments and general judgement, I think there's also a certain survivorship bias with these progress videos where people upload the best performances, and the most "spectacular" growth videos are viewed and shared most. Getting your commentary on the fingering etc. is useful, since it puts it into perspective as it is not the first thing I look for as a relative beginner myself. I've had to take a step back and just reevaluate what I'm trying to achieve. I want to do all aspects, reading and theory, while learning good habits in terms of fingering and technique. So I've accepted my pace being my pace, and as an older starter accepted my current limits and just try to stretch them day by day.

I have been playing piano for 5 years now, and i have always just memorized what i was playing because that felt more comfortable, but now i dont know how to read music and the pieces that i am playing are too advanced for me to read along. I would love to get some advice on how i can learn to read music so if you have any tips then i would be very grateful.
Anyways great video as always.

Wow this guy progress for one year is amazing.
Still could be a very interesting to hear from his playing maybe just one but WHOLE piece...
As I understand he using YouTube learning clips, as flying notes or just slow down and copy, repeat, memorize, as I also doing...:face-orange-biting-nails:
I'm 10 + month learning piano playing and never started seriously learning sight reading...was asking one guy (he 's playing about 3 + years with notes reading, about IF he can playing whole piece learned a year ago, he answers NO, have to Relearning piece (sure it will be faster, but still).
So every single day I playing at least once (if makes mistake then repeating) ALL my repertoire I did learned from beginning (well , most favorited).
What is your recommendation about going repertoire to memorize, because what reason to learning sometimes really technically difficult piece and forget it (definitely) . So mastering sight reading ONLY is the key or any advice from professional ?
Thank you and sorry everyone for long story/questions.

Definitely from a classical music perspective would be super beneficial for him to learn to read music, write in fingerings, stick to them and count out loud.
Seems like he's having a lot of fun jamming out and learning new skills which is awesome! It'd be cool if he tries all the Goldberg Variations :D
Like you mentioned though some of the short cuts self taught pianists use may end up becoming a crutch or turn into bad habits down the line
which is so difficulty to undo and really become quite troublesome when you hit a wall.
By starting with a teacher you build a strong and well grounded foundation which can sometimes feel a lot slower and less rewarding.
I guarantee 9/10 times once you get through that initial 1-3 years (Depending on how much you practice) you'll be grateful for it 10-15 years down the line!
Even for people that really don't want to learn how to read sheet music or want formal guidance from a teacher seeking out someone just to get you
on the right track with how to choreograph your fingers, knuckles, wrist, forearm , elbow, shoulder etc
Knowing how to coordinate your hand movements with just enough tension and knowing how to relax that tension is night and day for playing fast and effortlessly
and for people playing even on heavy action grand pianos there is a way to play for hours without soreness or discomfort :)

Matthew, I've been wanting to get into the piano for the longest time. Your videos have helped me gain this obsession with piano, and I'm getting ready to purchase my piano. As a beginner with no prior musical experience, how would you tackle learning? My goal is to be able to read sheet music and perform some of my favorite pieces. What are some of the most important fundamentals to get down first? Thanks!!

Oo Matthew, I love your reactions and you are spotting the best issues (commenting with my limited music knowledge 😊) but he progressed really good.
Could you also do it for me 😅? I had shared my pure 1 year progress in my channel as self taught adult learner. I had no music background but started playing piano during corona time. I am still playing and learning with a teacher since 1 year. It would be great if you can also do a reaction on it.
