well.. i've never learned many songs.. but i have no problem with the learning part.. it's just boring to play other ppls music. it's much more fun to play what i make myself.. if not.. why not improvisate?
study.. huh.. well.. i've dona alittle of that.. but don't think it will halp me that much.. i understand the music.. and the theory have helped me.. to understand how to make chords, modulation, progressions, melodies etc. and to create it and play it.. that's my way.. still.. i'm pretty stuck to the classical 'rules'.. everytime i do something 'wrong' on purpose.. it's like.. 'dude, did u hear that? was that good? can i really do that? or should i change to what it really should be?'.. sometimes it's cool.. sometimes it's madness(i like madness).. and sometimes it's just stupid...

This is probably why i never have learnt to play jazz.. and probably never will.. to complicated.. not clear enough rules.. and.. i really don't like jazz that good...
