>he still thinks I am who he thinks I am

theories really important so you know what rules to break

Break the rules with more rules

Theory is only good if you get to the fundamental basis of what the theory originates from

which nearly 0 people do

Soon I'll learn how to play an instrument

its much harder to get music out with feeling/improvisation if you dont understand theory

and leads to caged playing

well its caged if you think in theory

muh expressive purism

For now I just write lyrics and sing when nobody is around to hear me

yes it's harder, but the ceiling is higher

muh freedom from constraints

limitations are not condusive to my creative process dad

Singing alone is singing to gods

You will never attain the level of trout mask replica

gosh

even hendrix

with theory

I write my music for God

thats me

I wrote my God for music

trying to write good music without an understanding of theory is like trying to build a bridge without an understanding of architecture. your work is just gonna collapse under its own weight

Did you sell the letter with wax @jmack

Then I hit the wax with a torch

Straight to the dome

Theory is in the mind

Lul

knowing where the notes are is one thing

but the initiation of the sounds should come from inside you

not artificial constructs of "good sound"

no one is disagreeing with you

Some people are gifted that way, others need to study

Theory is making music not playing music

you're just spewing shit

for no reason

Music

because you think you're hot shit on a guitar

Yes

Isn't that like... what he does?

I am committed
