I´m pretty sure that this is the reason, There is a lot you can learn from some basic chords on the guitar or
some very basic piano theory. I taught myself to play upright bass based on the basic knowledge that I had
from playing rhythm guitar because the low 4 strings are the same and just by trying out what sounds good.
But like I wrote above, it depends a lot what kind of music you are composing, I´m into folk, blues, rock´n´roll, rockabilly
songs, 3 chords, simple melodies. It´s a bit like drawing like Charles Schultz because it´s very limiting.
The limits don´t bother me when I make music because I will play blues and rockabilly until I die and don´t need more
theory but they bother me when drawing because I can´t draw the things that I want to draw with limited theory/technique
