Your lack of comas disturbs me.

But seriously, if you want to no how to play the piano get a good teacher that can see you and hear you play, and try to use YouTube for watching pianists or masterclasses, 6 chords won't get you too far.

Get a beginner book.  If you have the motivation to teach yourself, and don't want a teacher, you should probably be able to get through an adult beginner book (with some help from the forum if you ask nicely lol).

Lots of people are self taught, but are too stubborn to sit and learn the theory stuff, and they end up hitting a dead end. 

6 chord method is a load of crap.  There's much more to it than 6 chords  ;)

Youtube videos and playing by ear will get you nowhere, except to the point where you will be good at mimicking music, but will have no understanding of it.

I realize English may not be your first language, but it's "know." For example:

Know the 6 chord method.

Italian pianist and scholar Andrea Bonatta has spent decades exploring the contradictions of Franz Liszt, from performer to man of faith, virtuoso to poet. Here, in conversation with Piano Street at Liszt Utrecht 2026, he shares his vision. Read more
