The Dual Theory
To live means to feel and to feel means to think. Growing up I was not always sure how to express emotion so I learned to feel through music. From Beethoven to Mozart, to Gilmour and Rhodes I learned to listen and feel emotion through music. Mesmerized by the occasional concerto and the melodic flow of a pentatonic scale, I finally learned how to play what I felt.
From being able to identify the many instruments used to create a song, I ended up finding myself playing a few scales on a grand piano in High School. Unsatisfied with my progression and what felt like a limitation, I picked up a guitar that was sitting in the music rooms closet and voila. Instantly I played a rhythm on two strings and so began my passion. I continued to listen to my teachers music theory but could not help but adapt a version that made sense to me. That became the genesis of what I now call the“Dual theory”.
Whilst the ability to self teach comes naturally to some, it is imperative to learn a proper structure of the classical sense to fully refine ones own teachings hence ones own style. This is where Dual Theory Instrumentals is key to the proper evolution of ones own way of expression through the universal language of music.
