I want to write music without learning music theory bc I think music theory will disrupt my songwriting flow by adding a certain bias to it. But my friend was trippin out like "you need to know music theory to be good" and now I'm like "aaaaaaaaaa." Because I don't want to corrupt my creative process but now I feel like I won't be able to do anything correctly. Thoughts?
the golden rule of music theory is if you couldn't hear it then it doesn't count
