Reading that kind of information can do several things to you. It can
inspire. Or, it can intimidate you to such a degree that you put your
instrument down and take up wood-working. Or, it will finally convince
you that you're better off absorbing the melody and chords of a tune,
stringing together some variations that sound right and then lettin' it
rip.
As I said, I'm a beginner, so I probably don't know what I'm talking
about.
