Reply #37: Music doesn't have to be hard

[Ravenseye]

There's no rule that you need to train for a decade in order to learn how to be a musician before you can come up with music. I think that is a stumbling block for many people. Fact of the matter is there have been plenty of musicians in the past half century who knew very little about music but made some interesting things. Look at all the surf and punk bands of the 60's and 70's where the guitarists knew 3 or maybe 4 chords. CCCCCCCCC GGGGGGGGG DDDDDDDDDD GGGGGGGGGG

It's not complex and I could probably teach a monkey to do it, but that doesnt' mean it isn't music.

I don't know. I don't like lots of different music...rap...country....I just dont' listen to it. That's the great thing about music. THere are so many varieites you're bound to find at least one you like.
