Being able to play by hearing is so much fun! Not to brag or anything, but I was fortunate enough to go to piano lessons as a kid, so I can (almost) instantly know how to play a song just by hearing it once. Now I'm trying to learn how to read sheet music since I really suck at it lol.

Don't give up practicing my dude. I assure you it is very nice being able to improv on the fly, especially when you're playing with other friends who could play music too.

That's awesome. I took 7 years of piano lessons too. I can read bar-staff sheet music, but I've always found it super tedious and boring.

Then I learned to play guitar on my own, and learned the chords-based tablature way of describing music, and then I realized I could apply that to piano. Then it was off to the races
