I'm looking for a way to learn how to play at home without a teacher. Is there a great website or book that offers complete courses on playing piano?

What does ML think of this site? It starts pretty basic and has well-designed lessons, but there's no way of knowing how advanced it gets unless you buy the non-free lessons. So far I've worked up to lesson 4, where the trial ends.

This one looks pretty professional but it doesn't have practice lessons. It also looks way too complicated and isn't actually geared towards instruction. Why am I learning about dominant and diminished 7th chords on lesson three?

This one looks ok but I haven't looked into it.

This one seems shady.

I've been using Rocket Piano for about the last month or so and it is doing a pretty decent job so far. It was only $40 and seems pretty complete. It has a ton of lessons in pdf format along with some videos and audio for all of the practice pieces in the pdfs.

I tried using free lessons from youtube at first but it seemed very incomplete and didnt want it to lead to bad habits and such.

I've also been using the practice techniques from http://www.pianofundamentals.com.
