I do have a keyboard of the kind you play on, but I'm just barely getting started with practicing basic chords.

Been reading a bit of theory here and there over the years, but only enough to give me a very rough idea of how to piece together something more harmonically complex. I'm a believer in the method of just going head first into a thing and then worry about the details as problem come along that you need to solve.
