I'm no good with chords. I'm horrible with chords.
I've only ever had one doubt about music. It came when I was 11. I hated playing scales.
I don't know anything about music theory at all. Zero. But I don't really need to.
I don't really do scales... I mean, I play parts of them, but then I bail and start playing parts of other things. The term 'scale' feels very scripted to me because I'm an improv player.
I'm not that fluid when it comes to scales and modes. I just pick up the guitar and play. It's all about exploration: just tune the guitar any way you want and start playing.
When I first started playing guitar, I would sit in my room for hours and learn scales.
Well, I did a harmonica instruction tape for Homespun tapes.
I had no musical training at all.
I don't think that you can write music if you don't know how to play an instrument. You have to know the basics, then you can go forward.
