To me, it is a matter of being curious. Play something and then wanting to know why it works. Then I would discover that this particular thing is common practice and here is how it applies in general. To me, that is part of the fun of learning. No mystery, just healthy curiosity. Maybe being an engineer in my working life, I am just naturally curious about these things and am therefore "odd man out". I have no idea, which can be a problem posting in forums in a discussion with people I have never met in person and gotten to know. It could well be that others do not share such curiosity and therefore such learning would take the fun out of it. I probably, on thinking about it, shouldn't be posting about theory around here. So, I will let it rest with this last response. My mistake. Tony |

But likewise there are plenty who look at things from a very different or even opposite perspective. I have more in common with yourself background-wise than I do with many of the accomplished musicians on this forum. But that hasn't stopped you and me from (as far as I can tell) finding our way down different musical paths. Music is a VERY open-ended thing and we all follow our own dreams within the general realm of "playing guitar".

It was only when I picked the guitar up again years later that I got interested in theory. Now I find it fascinating as I try to move beyond the intermediate level. If you can hit the right chord on the right beat you can play guitar. The joy is in the details, imo, of course. |

Theory

Personally, I would love more theory discussion. I’d still like to have a theory section in the forum. I have a lot to learn, and help from people like you would be welcome. Robert |

So maybe having the discussion in the forums we have might be better. I don't really know, but that is just a thought anyway. Tony |
