I guess you (we) should use any techniques that let us freely exprees ourselves. In my ideal world, the music doesn't come from the brain neither from the freatboard but the heart.

Carmine

I couldn't agree more... it's no good if it doesn't come from the heart. I've seen a girl play silence a crowd with merely a C,D, n G. I've seen wizards not even move anyone.

The common argument I've heard over the years by soooooooo many is... that you 'gotta be born with it'.... 'stars are born, not made' ... 'something in their soul is different' ...

I can see how this is true and not. I can see how western mentality has taken this to an extreme. I think it's not what it seems most of the time but perception can often overtake reality.

In my ideal world, Carmine, yes... the ones who sing from their soul are the ones who are free.

There's exceptions to everything I've ever thought possible. That's why I am asking this question and wondering what others are thinking. Especially in today's world of music.
