Depends
on what classical you refer to. I rather like elements of Romantic and
Baroque period music. I know how to play a handful of Spanish classical
on guitar, and my style certainly has a lot of traditional
Spanish/Gypsy influences. I have nothing against classical music, but
strictly adhering to musical theory does not have much appeal to me.
Reading
music is only quicker if you want them to play something very similar,
sometimes that is the case, but I think that can be boring. When you
instead tell somebody to play something that sounds good with it
without telling them more about it they focus more on the sound than on
the notes themselves. And jamming has very little bearing on the
complexity, as jazz should show.You can start very simplistically, and
some choose not to build off of that, but I myself use a simple chord
progression as a building block into something more complex. Playing in
key is just fine, and a large portion of what I do is in key, but
limiting something to be strictly in key limits the variety of sounds
you can make. For instance if you want a heavier sound that can be
aided with slight dissonance to give it that extra edge.
And
when I say too much theory leads to boring uninspired music I'm
referring mostly to "neoclassical" guitarists like Malmsteen. |
