ungh

I realized I enjoy theory a lot more than 'practical' stuff.
Why?

1: There's a correct or wrong answer in theory. You know what to learn, there's textbooks to guide you

2: You know WHAT you are supposed to learn. Everything's written down for you in black and white. Just sit down, memorize the shit out of it, and voila!

Playing music itself, on the other hand...

I've to improvise, make up my own melodies, and let them sound good at the same time. You have no idea what you are doing half the time. There's nothing on paper to help you visualize things. Just your ears and memory. And boy, it just so happens that my ear power and memory skills are next to non-existent...

Frustrating at times, really |:

Makes me appreciate Maths.
