i think a lot of times we get caught up in what
we like so much that we lose track of other peoples
needs. i suggested that you learn theory because
it will give you so much to 'play' with. learning
other peoples music is just as fun. if you want to
impress other people then you need to decide what it
is that will impress them. if you want to master the
instrument i think the thing to do is to be able to
play anything ya want. playing 'covers' is great if
thats wut yer into. but sooner or later ya wanna be
able to make the sound that comes to your head
instantaneously,without thinking. its like learning
a language. ya dont give a lot of thought to how to
say your words because you have spoken so much. so
play lots and lots. learn lots of theory. learn covers.
but play play play. :)
