Not sure why the author chooses to use music as some kind of arbitrary reference point about how 'uncreative' it is due to having a rather large canon of "technique" involved. The reason there aren't a lot of stories about somebody just randomly picking up a guitar, tuning it to whatever and banging away something of creative beauty is because...well...the instrument kind of doesn't allow it. I've basically run under the assumption of the following: "It really helps to know what rules you're breaking and why when doing something new."
