I've been learning piano on my own for a while. What I do is to look for music sheets of simplified versions of songs I like and practice them, for example I learned Zombie and Bohemian Rhapsody. I also try to play by hearing, and I'm becoming somewhat decent at it. If I can hum it, I can play it
However I have very little knowledge of music theory. I know chords and scales, but that's about it. I know that things like Lydian or Mixolydian exist, but I'm not really sure how they work. Also when people start calling chords by numbers I mentally check out
With all the skills I've acquired I was able to write this song, and this is the height of my abilities so far
I feel like I've reached the ceiling of what I can learn on my own, and I'd like to use a book, but I'm not sure which one to buy, in part because they all mention levels and I have no idea what my level is. Too low and I'm gonna get bored, too high and I'm gonna give up
Also, I'd like to have many music sheets for many popular songs that are already for piano and at my level. I don't want to keep "translating" between guitar and piano
What books do you recommend me?
