I've been making music for close to 20 years now, and haven't retained a single piece of 'proper music theory', including names of the chords or notes I play. I've been in countless bands across genres, released albums with multiple artists as a producer, and have placed with major record label artists. Every time I try to 'study music' I feel boxed in creatively, and not knowing these concepts has not once hindered my ability to play music collaboratively or create it independently. What exactly can I not accomplish by not knowing a scale, again?
