"To study you must learn the rules...
To create you must forget/ignore them".
Are you one of those who need a rigid structure for their life?...
Or...do you prefer to be a free radical?

I am myself a free spirit and radical and like doing things in a non conventional way."To study you must learn the rules...
To create you must forget/ignore them".

I like to create and improvise rather than follow a structure.

I choose my own path through life, I don't care about laws, if they are silly, just ignore them.
Why wait for a red traffic light when nobody else ss in the area?
Then I always say: If I want to stop for a red light, I go to the red light district of Amsterdam.

No I don’t need a rigid structure in my personal life, however a big part of my work does. If not then lives are at risk. I thoroughly enjoy both.

No, I disagree.
I obey to my own laws, laws that make common sense, no stealing, no fighting, no drugs, not damaging other peoples stuff.
When it comes to braking laws, the first ones to do it are often the rich and famous, politicians and tv-personalities.
They know they can affort to pay the fine, and they don't care.
In the mean time, politicians who are breaking the rules are telling us we shouldn't break the rules?
That's ridiculous and ambigious.

For many years I was taught music theory, ala Boston Conservatory.
My friend has a degree in classical music; so, I trusted him to know all about it.
I love the way blues guitar makes me feel; and was always trying to get a blues sound.
He was constantly putting down, "Parallel fifths."
So, for years, I avoided parallel fifths.
He'd get so upset by parallel fifths, it took me years to question him about them.
Since I only play music to accompany scriptures, the only lessons I ever took were on music theory.
I'd never put music to anything except scriptures, and want my music to be (as much as possible) an expression of what I feel, what's inside of me; so, I didn't learn other people's music; or I might've figured out sooner...
You can't play the Blues, without parallel fifths!
Once I learned that, I learned to play one finger songs, up and down the fretboard (100% parallel fifths!).
After that, I learned the chords to go with every one finger chord, so I could play the same song with different fingerings, all the way to the soundhole.
In other words, breaking the rules opened up the fretboard so much, I was able to learn more about music in a few months, than I did keeping the rules for years.
I couldn't learn how to play music that I like, until I figured out, I had to break the rules!

That's exactly how I feel about music.
I was inspired to write this thread when I saw that quote..while searching for some music to play on the piano.
After 40 years I decided to get back to the piano and just got myself an electric one.
Suddenly I decided to play by ear instead of reading endless music sheets.
Well...it's amazing that within a week I've managed to learn some easy melodies and classical music as well just practising some chords and harmonies....all this by using my own creativity!
