Thank you so much for this! Your comment at 6:22 about how he is playing without reading the sheet music is exactly the predicament that i’m in now. You’ve finally made me realise why I’ve not seen much improvement in my playing in the past 2 to 3 years.
I’ve been playing for about 10 years and my ability to sight read has plummeted because I was learning pieces by memorising the hand positions or learning pieces exclusively by ear.
I’m actually pleased with my ability to play by ear, but letting my sight reading slip meant that I subconsciously avoided any pieces that were above my level. I wasn’t progressing because I was using my ear as a crutch and not struggling with more difficult pieces by sitting down and reading score.

Regaarding the 700 hours in a year equating to 2 hours per day well when I started playing guitar I'd read and article about a young Steve Vai that did 10 per day, other like John Petrucci that practised 10-12 per day when learning. I personally spent 4 hours a day 6 days per week for a full 18 months (1 hour for chords, scales, finger picking and just general making noise or trying to jam along to favourite bands). So to me 2 hours per day is completely in the realm of moderate practise.

Ok, so I pretty much always give the benefit of the doubt that these videos are real. Only two hours a day for a year? I was an addict when I first started playing piano.
I was cranking out a MINIMUM of 5 hours per day, straight for a year. I woke up at 5-6am consistently to crank out a few hours of piano before school started at 8 am. Then I would play the entire day coming home.
Within the first three months I started to learn stuff like animenz’s Guren no yumiya, after a few months I played Fantasie impromptu, tried winter wind but was not technically developed enough. Then at 1 year 1 month~ I uploaded a video of me playing Liebestraum.
People who haven’t been TRULY addicted to something, like piano or even my recent chess addiction, don’t know how hard you can grind in a short amount of time.

I enjoyed both your reaction videos. I have just bought a digital keyboard last week, although I regret not buying one with a pedal. I am trying to self teach me as I don't have much time. Would it be possible for you to create a video about roadmap for self taught beginners? Like how should one proceed, should one learn chords first, read sheet music, which pieces should one focus on what time and similar things. It would be incredibly helpful.

Look at how his feet are positioned as a complete starter. Despite having no pedals his feet are positioned as if he were to be using a sustain pedal.
