I like the sense of adventure and discovery that comes from playing guitar. I'd rather discover sounds I like than be taught. I'd rather jump into painting with both hands than learning all the rules which supposedly you cannot break if you do not know. I couldn't have been a musician or an artist if I had to be trained. To me, it would be like squeezing all the fun out of it.

For myself, I prefer to jump in and explore.

My roadblocks shaped me.

I wanted to sing, so I wanted to play guitar. I was frustrated trying to learn other people's songs, so I started writing my own. I had trouble using a guitar pick so I played with my fingers. I had trouble with paintbrushes so I painted with my fingers.

You can do things on your own terms if you keep the focus on what you can, rather than can't do, in any given situation.
