Online Piano Resources for Beginners?

I played the piano a bit a few years ago but got bored and stopped. Now I decided to give it another shot, since I’ve had relative success with self-teaching guitar (been playing for 2 years and can do most songs).

I know the few basics to piano like a few left hand chords and the notes each key is, etc, but I’m still pretty noob. Are there any good Piano forums or music sheet sites or good youtube teachers? There are a bunch of those for guitar, it’s never hard to find online guitar teachers or tabs, and ultimate guitar is a great site. Are there any piano equivalents?

And I suppose I better learn the annoying notes on the sheet music again right?… :( I’m guessing no tabs for piano? lol. Want to start learning November Rain or Layla. Can’t be too hard right?

PS: Don’t tell me to get a real teacher. Not gonna happen.

there’s a whole bunch
