I make music. In fact I've been making music for about a year. The way I've been doing it, though, has all been through sequencing. Recently I got a feeling like I didn't have enough knowledge of music theory or playing instruments in general to really make "good" music. (right now I play drum kit and tenor drums, so I know how rhythms work but I don't know how to form cool chords and stuff like that). Do you have any suggestions of any resources or things that I could do to learn some more theory or learn how to play some common chords and stuff?
i don't know what every one really means by 'music theory,' it is a phrase that people use here in the questions over and over again, in a way that doesn't quite make any sense to me. but the best way to learn music, in my opinion, is by doing it and experiencing it, and experimenting. you can make many theories that way, and i don't know if that counts as music theory but it should, because they are theories you have about music
