On kind of a similar note, I'm doing Justin Guitar and can play a few chords. Is there any point in on the side looking up guitar theory rather than just learning chords and not knowing how they relate to each other? Or do scales and all that shit come later?

But how can it handicap it at all? Both the theory student and the person who doesn’t know anything can write a good melody, but for the theory person its easier to improve it since they know what type of chord or time signature its in

Gotta learn those barre chords my dude that's all I can tell ya. Barre chords and the fuckin pentatonic scale and you can rock with the best. Once you can do that and rock, then worry about fancy chords and major scales.

By using theory as a framework for the writing process, it often results in uninspired music. Basically what wrote.

Any theorylet who wants to develop his "new unique style" should break out of equal temperament and/or start doing weird electronic shit or else they'll inevitably stumble into half-baked versions of atonality or chromaticism and call it a day.

I recently analyzed some shit I wrote before I had any idea what I was doing, it was actually really novel and interesting. I was using chromatic mediants, slash chords, the harmonic minor scale, etc. before I had any idea what it was called.
