your description of theory without application could be said of almost any profession or aspiration. a person who studies architecture and engineering, but has never built anything, just drawn designs, well, let’s just say i don’t want them building the house i and my family are going to be living in, you know?

the same could be said for the builder who assembles pre-fabricated homes. No design skill or creativity necessary. Just dig a whole, pour the foundation, stack and fasten the sections together, repeat.

the road is long, but the road is good.

I just want you to know that you’ve open my mind on really a lot of thing that I wasn’t aware of.

Your lessons are really interessing.

And I share the same view in music : music is a language. It’s important to know how to speak properly (technique/theory), and to have something to say (experience)

I am more a self taughed musician and I was stuck in a rut (reference to your youtube video). I see the learning of theory has a way to escape it.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us, it’s really rare in your “money based” society!!

And sorry for my poor english!

Cheers from France!
