So contrary to what Schmange said...I'm an artist who sucks at math but enjoys the theory side of things...at the same time tho I only use theory to write better music. So I guess theres a bit of the artsy me coming out too.
At the end of the day...all the theory in the world won't make you a good musician. You just have to play.
Interesting thread...I'd like to see how other people reply.
