Q. I can play chords, but I can barely play Happy Birthday on music sheet. I can, but I always have to check if I'm playing the right note and all that. I am talking about piano.
A. Everyone is different. It depends on if you have a teacher or not (if not, it will take a LOT longer, and you may not be learning how to read music correctly) and how much time you put into learning.
Here is a VERY general guideline (my opinion, not by any means fact) for someone learning WITH a teacher:
To read at a beginner level decently will take about a year. To read at an intermediate level will take about 3-4 years. To fully understand rhythms, notes, articulations, dynamics, tempo markings, etc., and to be able to read almost anything put in front of you can take more like 10 years.
Short and easy guitar chord songs like happy birthday?
Q. I can play happy birthday pretty good now, Is there any other easy and short ones to practice chords on and fun ones to play like happy birthday?
A. This is probably way before your time, but "Knocking on Heavens Door" by Bob Dylan is a very easy song. If you don't know it just pull it up on youtube. Guns N Roses covered it as well. The verse just goes back and forth between these two chord progressions. G D Am and G D C. Then the chorus is just G D C. Very easy. Below are the lyrics also.
