you could just do what my sister does she cant read music but she can improvise on notes and find their tunes and whip up a song, put the notes together and BAM theres you music.
or you could listen closely to music and try to figure out the notes after you listen to that music and use it as a source.

I have played piano much longer than guitar, but from my experience I like piano a lot better. Guitar typically is better with an accompaniment (but not always), while piano can more or less stand on its own. Also, piano will give you a lot of the theory and background necessary in music. This may make learning guitar later to be an easier task. Guitar usually deals with tablature, which basically just tells you where to put your fingers. It doesn't give you too much insight into the theory behind the music. The upside to guitar, in my opinion, is that it is MUCH easier to transport... probably still easier even if you just have a keyboard instead of a piano. It's all up to you though. Piano is much more versatile in the pieces you can play, but guitar you can "rock out" on... Good luck with whatever you choose!

Just put your hands on the piano keys and go for a sound you like, either polyphonic (several notes at once, chords) or 3 or 4 note melodic riffs. It's easier to improvise with the piano this way because of the way it's designed: you're facing it, unlike the guitar, which unless you're in front of a mirror you can't see what you're doing. It's an easier instrument than guitar, and you can form more chords just by playing random notes 3 or 4 notes apart. The reading part isn't so important except to confirm what you've played as a transcript, to be memorised ultimately anyway...

I fool around with the piano in my rehearsal space from time to time. I can honestly tell you that I dont know how to read music, but I can learn a song up from tablature easily ( on piano). The open E string (6th) is basically the white key to the right of the two black keys in... uhh... nevermind, it can be pretty confusing if you dont get it, and im not so sure how familiar you are with the guitar.

strange question!
there is a way to learn chords, which you can then find on free music sites.
Go to yahoo images and search for 'piano chords' look for posters that list the chords, with images!
You can get music from lots of sites, I have used some before, search 'piano tabs' or similar. learn the tabs and hey presto, instant piano! :)
trust me, I have done this! it does work!
Though I can read music, which i totally sugest you do, it's really easy, they key to the left of the PAIR of black keys is 'c' then just go up, c d e f g a b c d e f g etc. etc.! it's not that bad!

You can play the piano using the chord notation that you have for your guitar.
You have a shape of a chord on a guitar and you have a shape of a chord on a piano once you get your head around these shapes piano is a hell of a lot easier than guitar. I'm not saying that you Will be the next (looking for a name here..... very accomplished piano player!!) but you will certainly know enough to enjoy it. I have just bought myself an old baby grand and I am doing the same it's great!
Get yourself a book of piano chords and you will be playing everything you can play on your guitar within weeks, I guarantee it.
Enjoy!

Yes, but you are vastly better off to learn to read music because so many doors will be open to you that would be closed otherwise. A guitar is kind of like having six keyboards in a line, so that might help you. On a guitar there are all kinds of variations in possible chord voicings, but on a piano there are only 3 "inversions". This is the difference in the expressive power of a guitar vs. the piano. Both are cool, but its not possible to have 34 different voicings of an "A" chord on a piano!

Learn what letters of the keys correspond to what notes on the guitar, A to A, E to E, so on. Every fret on a guitar is a half step, just as on a piano every key (if you include all of the black keys) is a half step.

I think there are chord sheets, but mostly people learn by ear... sorry, I do not have chord sheet websites with me :)
