To disagree with my 19-year-old self, I think having more music theory would help one enjoy music more, but it would probably make that person more picky about the music they like. The only experience I can speak from is that when I learned how to do certain recording tricks (such as backwards reverb, for example), I've come to enjoy hearing them more in other peoples' music. I often refer to Jimi Hendrix's "Are You Experienced" as an example in my argument of "No really - people actually LIKE weird music." If I wasn't aware of the studio trickery in the song, I certainly wouldn't appreciate it as much as I do. On the other hand, it makes me demand more of that production-level creativity in the music that I listen to. Modern pop-punk bores the pants off me. -- Matt Davignon mattdavignon@gmail.com www.ribosomemusic.com Podcast! http://ribosomematt.podomatic.com http://www.youtube.com/user/ribosomematt Kevin Cheli-Colando was like: > >> So, a corollary of a question. >> >> If knowing too much about music theory isn't a detriment to one's >> playing (seems to be the consensus that it shouldn't be), is it >> possible that too much theory, etc., is a detriment to your listening? >> >> Has anyone here found themselves unable to enjoy music they could have >> once upon a time before they knew about the structures of music?
