Does theory mean anything?
Today I have read the article about famous musicians who didn't study music theory. I can say that in rap it is daily basis, but in classical music or jazz it is absent. We can see a few examples of not studying music theory and being famous musician in rock and it is not easy to compose rock style. The most recognizable ranking of the guitarist on the first two places we have guitarist who never studied music theory and I consider this funny, but I think that in this list they rated them by looking at innovation, originality and artisty, so I think I would not be wrong if I say that theory music in some way limits your style and expression which you give to people by playing an instrument. This artists are Eric Clapton and Jimmy Hendrix, so the artists that are considered as musicians who changed the direction of rock development, because they did something new, because they had fresh minds. https://www.quora.com/Are-famous-musicians-knowledgeable-in-music-theory-before-they-main...
