I've been playing guitar (poorly) for about 20 years, and this book has always been a great resource for me when I want to branch out a little more:

If you have the patience, Harmony & Voice Leading by Aldwell & Schachter, hands down.
It depends on how much of a "Beginner" you are. I went through Music Theory for Dummies before I moved on to the above monster of a textbook. The Shaping of Musical Elements and its second volume are also some recommendations. However, they also require a deal of patience (and possibly a knowledgeable friend/teacher if you'd like your work examined). The aforementioned Laitz book is also a great text worth of perusal.
I wish you the best of luck in your learning ventures!
If you want to learn piano i would recommend This book and This book they are older books now and they say its for children but they are still good. They teach hand positions as well as a little sight reading, both will give you a good starting point to learning to play piano.
In regards to the video, you need to sort out your seating arrangements because the keyboard looks a little high, and maybe change the chair to one without wheels (some people may disagree with that but personally i don't like playing on wheeled chairs). Also try not too sway as much when you're playing, this can be a bad habit to get into which can make reading music later on difficult.
For someone who's only been playing two weeks you're doing okay, just needs some more practice :)
