true that, some people have it and some don't. however some have it but don't naturally know how use it. that's where lessons come in. not all teacher's try to make clones and if you're not a mindless pod, you wont become a clone. besides, online tutorials suck
why?
besides, it's more fun doing it by yourself. not saying lessons always suck, but they're def not a necessity and are plain unnecessary sometimes.
yea for sure. it's just that most teachers (from my experience) don't look at what you need. most have a routine or a set of lessons they know how to teach and they'll try to put you through their routine of lessons, not regarding what you want/need to progress.I disagree. There's always something new you can learn about music. The right teachers will provide lessons and exercises that will challenge you and improve your musicianship, working with you on a personal level and testing your limits.
Playing by yourself is limiting. It allows you to get comfortable with your own shortcomings, possibly develop them into monstrosities. Playing with other musicians is an excellent way to improve yourself, and this is one of the principles that lessons should be based on.
Your drum teacher may have taught you beats so that you could get the fundamentals of rhythm down. Did this ever occur to you? Your music lacks flow because it lacks rhythm. You have to take steps. You can't walk before you crawl.
There is no end to what you can learn in music. Even virtuosic musicians like Joe Satriani and Billy Sheehan are constantly challenging themselves.
Listen to the music you posted
I'm not trying to be a dick, but what you've produced is crap. If you can't see how its bad, then you need someone to teach you perspective.
yea, good. you didn't specify why i need lessons though.
