theory for music is like theory for language: if it doesn't help you, either change it or let it go. if it does help you, keep it. theory is also like a dick: it's not innately bad, but a lot of people who have a GRASP of it may still have stupid ideas about how it should be used, like only for tedious and pointless DRILLING instead of as a flexible tool for everybody's consensual pleasure. do you agree with these comparisons?
sure
