There's far more to musical creativity than chord sequences and time signatures. Blues is made interesting by the musical ability of the performers.

- arthur_pryor 10y agoit's almost mystifying to me at this point that not everyone's on board with this idea. most of what i care about musically is captured poorly by the traditional notation of western classical music.
- yolesaber 10y agoOnly people who have never made music think in that way.
- meowface 10y agoMany electronic music producers (including myself) share a similar sentiment. There's a lot to a carefully produced song that can't be fully encompassed by sheet music.
- coldtea 10y agoWell, I have made music, and I think in that way. The mere score of a blue piece is just as good as useless for conveying the power of a particular blues performance for example.
- maroonblazer 10y agoThe notation is just a model, an imperfect one (as all models are). That's been the case since Bach, if not earlier.
