>>1209453>Music theory just leads to boring music grandpa give me a drugged out maniac like gg allin all day everyday who hates the crowd himself and wants to hurt themmostly agree tbh
its just from a practical standpoint, its so much easier to just go
<its in fuckin Bb retardrather than sit around and take two fucking hours to show your bassist where his fingers are supposed to go
plus ive always had a dream of a punk band where you could use zappa-styled hand signals to immediately change time signatures, or completely change the tempo/feel of a song in the middle of it. just to add more chaos and unpredictability to it
not that that takes too much theory to understand anyways.
but alas, this perfect medium has thus far eluded me

really important is ear training, so that you can hear what the others are doing, learn it, and respond on the fly via actually listening to one another

knowing the names of intervals or chords is totally secondary to actually being able to play and use them, other than for simplicity sake when showing others parts
