| | I've always pretty much been a 'play by ear' sort of musician; the kind that used to fail the sight-reading part of exams and made for it with aural scores. Recenty, though, I've been re-educating myself (and being re-educated by someone else) with good ol' music theory once again. The particular area of interest now is scales and modes, particularly how they relate to modern melodies. I've also been re-acquanting myself with the blues and the finger techniques (left and right) required. It's quite fun.
But none of these would matter if the music didn't have heart.
In the end, after all the technicalities, the studying, the working out of fingerings,
it's all about how the music connects, and how much of yourself you put into it.
That's how I see it. |
