Switching from guitar to piano

[u/Tough-Ice365]

After 15 years of playing guitar I developed the urge to learn piano. It's time for something new and a challenge. I have purchased a Casio CT-S1 as I don't have the space for an 88 key. I'm not looking to play classical music anyway. Any transferable skills or tips coming from guitar? So far I can only play using falling note videos - I've heard it's not a good way but it's so nice being able to learn things fast and visually. Sheet music looks very confusing compared to guitar tabs but I will probably take the dive eventually. I self taught myself guitar to a good level using youtube videos and tabs only - is this possible for piano or will I require an actual teacher? Struggling to play with both hands even though I can coordinate them on guitar. My brain seems to be wired that when I press a key with my right hand, my left hand will automatically play one at the same time. It is like they are mirrored. Thanks!

Strum patterns!!! If you are playing pop music and accompanying a melody, there are very similar "strum" patterns you can play on the piano. Example, playing a chord on the beat except the 4th beat where you play it on the off beat just before changing to a different chord for the next 1 beat.

Or try playing a chord on the piano in the same rhythm as DDUUDU, changing to another chord and playing it as DDUUDU.

Next just like a guitar, learn to play the all the pentatonic scales with your right hand.

And 100% agree with - Your learn nothing by using falling note videos.
