Writing songs without good music theory knowledge
You absolutely can. Personally, I use theory more as a guide. If I were to lose one or the other, I would lose theory by far. Take note of how many incredible musicians don’t know theory or aren’t familiar with it. Look at Stevie Ray Vaughan. He is one of my personal favorite artists of all time...- Kirstin Deal

Jazz Band
I just found out that my school will most likely be starting a jazz band next year, and if that happens, I’ll most likely play guitar. I play a little bit of jazz, but I wanted to know if any of you guys do or have ever been a part of a jazz band, or have experience in jazz, and if so, then what...- Kirstin Deal

Neck through vs bolt on necks
The one I own is a bolt on neck, and it works great for me. However, I do prefer neck through because it just feels smoother when playing higher frets, especially when sliding. I’ve personally never had a problem with bolt ons though- Kirstin Deal

MCR
I used to be a lot more into them than I am now. I still like them, but I just don’t listen to them too much anymore. However, I am curious as to what you noticed?- Kirstin Deal

Where's my pick?
I actually still have all of my picks! I constantly lose them, but I always end up finding them later, so I still have every pic I’ve ever owned. I normally lose them by dropping them or knocking them off of tables or something. I’ll find them under furniture and laying around on the ground- Kirstin Deal

Scale memorization
There are tons of scales, so I don’t think they ALL a need to be memorized. The most important scales are taught here, and those are the ones I feel like you should learn and memorize first. You may find some cool exotic scale you may like the sound of or find something about it interesting, and...- Kirstin Deal

Guitar confidence & Jazz
I experience the same thing. One thing that I have learned from performing is that if you mess up, DO NOT STOP. Brush it off. It happens all the time: I playing something then- oh shit- I played a wrong note or screwed up a run, but I have disciplined myself to keep playing, regardless. If you...- Kirstin Deal

Singing and playing
What I found works best for me, personally, is playing the guitar part until it’s second nature and I no longer have to think about it. I then try to do the same with vocals. I’d play the guitar part until it is muscle memory and I no longer have to think about it, and I’d maybe put a bit more...- Kirstin Deal
