how can people say that theory is locking yourself up?
i mean, that's pretty locked up right?
Ofourse, playing the guitar is about artistic expression (if you ask me), and about freedom. But, do people think the best people just got like that, are born that way? People have to practise, and if you have some theoretical background that's great. I won't say that limits you, but expands your possibilites, you know what's been done before, and when you've learned all that, then you begin to make things of your own.
I have often thought about reading some theory myself, it's just that i suck at reading theory (i get bad vibes from school and specially home work) so it'll have to wait until i am out of School, which is this summer. yay.
