So I Got a Strat Today..
MadassAlex:
Dude I was totally under the impression that you were the snobby on here, considering your early posts in the thread.
But basically I'm trying to violently pull information out of you so I can understand how to compose a whole song that isn't dissonant without taking any musical rules into consideration.
But during this post it occured to me that you probably do know a shitload of theory through experience and are merely ignorant of the names of what you're using. Fair game.
Jackie Blue:
Exactly. I "learned" theory before I learned the language of it. So while I definitely don't make completely "dissonant" music - the songs have hooks and riffs and aren't just random noise - I don't actively consider the rules. My playing follows the rules without my brain having to enter into it.
Patrick:
That makes a lot more sense than "fuck music theory/structure" which is what I'd assumed you were saying. That's how I roll. I may not know the names of every note or chord, but damned if I don't know how to do shit.
dalconnsuch:
music theory is important on my opinion, music theory to me is a universal language of instruments and music itself, saying "fuck music theory" means well "fuck this C chord fuck that G chord fuck that pentatonic i keep playing i'm gonna rattle rattle rattle the instrument!" everything you do on the instrument whether you think so or not is owned by music theory, every chord is a simple evolution of chords that have evolved from thousands and thousands of years of musical evolution that became music theory, that G chord and that C chord is a simple 1-3-5- that just about all instruments interpret, it IS important, you don't have to know music theory but by george W bush's lonly brain cell! music theory IS the instrument and allows musicians to communicate with one another
