maybe if Jimi Hendrix had a real music teacher and not himself as one he wouldnt have fukkin choked on vomit and drugs and died.

Was this really necessary? What does this, or even your whole sphiel on music theory have to do with the thread concept. This comment, your overall tone, as well as your tone in other threads show that you have a problem dealing with people who have differing opinion or thought processes than yourself. Your resorting to name calling, tu quoqe attacks and personal attacks show that you've got a long way to come as a person.

Lol. Damn. For the trends, What did you play? Fender? Gibson? Music Man?


I thought about giving lessons, but I'm not that adept at reading music. It's one of those things where I know how to play, I wouldn't be comfortable teaching people, much less charging them.


That's how I was with clarinet and guitar. I was pretty good at clarinet, but I felt like a dweeb playing it.

Upon re-reading your response, I have to admit that you do have a point. As far as a TRUE musician goes. I suppose I just took offense to the whole "You're just a fan; not a true musician" part. I'll fall back on that point. I'm the first person to admit that I'm no Flea or Jaco Pastorius. Doesn't make anything that I create any more or less valid than a "true" musicians offering. I suppose that it all comes down to what one considers a TRUE musician.

you flip flop.

 

[aRoMaN21]

outside of the classical realm, there are tons of musicians that have no fukking idea what they're looking at if you hand them sheet music, especially guitarists. which really doesn't matter much anyways since the guitar doesn't really jive with sheet music because there's different ways to play notes and chords.

you don't need to know how to read/write music notation to know theory, either.

This is not a DIFFERENCE IN OPINION, scott summers. This is saying the sky is red.

 

[Propaganda]

yes, the sky is red now.

you know what, it just dawned on me. you're completely right. it's impossible to learn intervals and harmonic functions and progressions and time signatures and all that with your ears or by reading up on the web or on a piano roll or any other way out there. it has come from sheet music or you have no idea what you're doing.

it's just pure fukking luck that they are hundreds of thousands of people playing and creating music without knowing how to read/write codas and shyt.

 

[King Crimson]

you flip flop.

Not a flip-flop at all. I agreed to disagree on what makes a TRUE musician. You say reading standard notation. I say there's more to it than that. What I take issue with is your inability to give people the same courtesy. Also, in our exchange there was no foul language nor the insulting of someone else's intelligence. Again, no flip-flopping. Just an objective observation.
