what is wrong with that

>he knows music theory

What could possibly be annoying about that?

People think learning theory means learning talent

when you teach yourself to play an instrument

no bully, i wish i could get a teacher but i'm too socially anxious to search one so my only hope is to make a friend who also plays guitar

>mfw

>hurr talented people don't need to know how music works, if you need to learn theory to make music you should just give up

that's stupid, but theory is still a useful tool nonetheless

hey, im self taught. I could play wichu

>he

I'm sorry i meant an irl friend i'm not sure that online teaching is really useful

>self taught with no lessons even online videos
>same generic technique as everyone else

>He can play solely by ear, and has learned how to feel music rather than read it
Wew, that sure makes him inferior.

you're probably way more limited than you think you are
go try and play with a jazz band

>guitar lessons

Oh I see what you mean, being forced into playing a style of music you aren't passionate about makes you a better musician. It all makes sense now.
Fuckin moron.

Gonna sample this for my experimental 5-hour prog demo

nobody thinks that. on the other hand, talentless hacks disvalue theory as "pointless"

i'm a self-taught pianist and i was learning rachmaninoff in my 4th year while all the scrubs who've been taught from an early age were just managing to play moonlight sonata

I live in a dying midwestern shithole where the only guy who knows how to play an instrument is 90 years old and plays a banjo
Please don't bully

>i'm retarded and i don't know why
his point is that you can't just learn everything by ear no matter how good your ear is. no matter how you put it and no matter how good you are, learning theory always makes you that little bit better.
you may know music in your own language but it helps to know it in another language too.

go fucking duel with him you faggot
god if my neighbour was a 90 year old banjo player i'd be rocking out with him 24/7

i think both Zappa and Hendrix were self-taught
im sure they eventually got formal training, but you gotta start somewhere.
esp if you were poor like Jimi

I'd bet you know the open chords on guitar and make singer/songwriter music
you shouldn't be talking shit about "feeling the music" in that case

if this is actually true imma fucking laugh my head off.
there are people out there who can become one with their instrument like some sort of transcendental musical buddha and they can do some incredible shit you never even knew was possible.
then you got this faggot who can play C > Em > G > D and do some vocal improv in the diatonic scale and he thinks he's the shit

why the fuck would anybody under 40 play in a jazz band

Are you in New York City?

Please have a banjo duel with your 90 year old neighbor, film it, and post it here.

seconding this

>I'M IN CHARGE HERE, IT WASN'T A WASTE OF TIME
*queefs on guitar and tells you the exact notage and tambre of it's reverberations*

nice projection faggot
meanwhile you barely know what chords you're playing and if you did you'd know it's been done to death over the last 500 years and you're an unoriginal retard

Close i'm in Paris's suburbs

Kek. Uhuh. I guarantee ive been playing music longer than you and have learnt more theory than you. Yawn.

>music theory is a waste of time
>b-but i know more about it than you!
congrats on having wasted more time than me i guess

oh and by the way, length of study doesn't mean shit when you have no talent

>self proclaimed "good" guitarist
>uses a capo

Abloobloo. OH NO NO NO

Sex is a waste of time if you're not procreating and I probably have more of that too ;)

Pretty much and he is one of my favorites.

>mfw nick drake learned all that shit by himself and was able to create pink moon
