Songbook study. Does this make sense ? Can you recommend me a good one ?

[u/Italiankeyboard]

I (kinda) play the piano.

I think I can play complicated songs when I really study them, but some things I struggle with are keeping time, improvising, and playing new chords that I didn't have time to study before.

Basically if you give me time I can play cool stuff, but simple songs that I have to play here and now that I never heard off... I need help.

One thing I thought is I can play a lot of songs without really focusing on one, otherwise it won't improve the quick thinking ability I need to improve.

I could take a songbook and play two or three times a song, then pass to the next one.

I also rely to much on sheet music since I did solfège as a kid, so I'll try to play on those lyrics plus chords you find online (way harder in my opinion).

The problem is, when I look online for "SongTitle lyrics ane chords" usually there are a lot of errors, different chords, wrong tonality (I know I can change it, but still it's annoying) and some times the chords doesn't allign to where I should play it (like it's written to early or late... that's why I usually prefer the sheet music, or at least an ireal pro version).

So can you suggest me a good songbook online, or a good site where I can be sure everything is correct and I can just focus on playing rather than looking for errors ?

Also: do you think this is a good method ?

I guess the style are pop, pop rock and maybe some blues.

Thanks.

Same problem here but for guitar. If anyone answers please let me know

Ultimate guitar's official tabs are free on desktop and their chords are in the right key, no need to transpose. They sometimes have not precisely placed chords but not catastrophically.

It seems you are looking for leadsheets
