You make a very cool point. Some folks ( like you and others here) have the gift of making music and a passion to stay with it. I wanna, I just haven't set aside the extra time I know I will need. That leads us to the slippery slope of instruction. I guess it's a matter of asking around and finding the person that can explain things in a way that make sense to you as a student. I let you know when I find that type of instructor for me.
Frank Zappa. Light years ahead of his time in music and the rights of freedom of expression. I sit smugly ( In his honor ) at the thrashing he gave a young Tipper Gore and the P.M.R.C. that sat straight backed and slack jawed at the man before them in hearings about ' obcenities ' in music so many years ago. They could not keep up with his mind so they hid behind the values they thought all of America was lacking. ( They: P.M.R.C. ) I wonder what we would have heard from him these days if he were still around.

I have to bust hump to play the easiest of tunes, but I know that and I don't mind.
