Can anyone tell me where to find some good songs to play? I've gone through all the "how to play ____" videos on Youtube and I don't know a lot of songs with good piano parts.

Another question. What would be the cheapest way to record videos of myself playing while keeping decent sound quality? Would a webcam suffice?

Wow, thanks! Great information. Can you recommend me a decent, relatively cheap microphone? I'm just doing this to make videos to show my family.

Found a great site if anyone's looking for sheet music.

http://www.pianofiles.com

You list all of the sheet music you have and you can trade with other people. Right now it says there are over 1,300,000 sheets for trade.

edit: Also have a question. Are there any exercises I can do to get better at playing different beats on each hand?

By "beats" do you mean cross-rhythms like in Chopin's Fantasie-Impromptu?

Or are you simply talking about learning to coordinate your left and right hands? If the latter, I love playing Bach's inventions and sinfonias. Play through enough of them, and your hand coordination will vastly improve.

Yeah I don't know the right term but I mean playing different things with each hand.

Can anyone tell me what the chords are around 20 seconds into this song?

I'm so bad at picking out chords. Any tips?
