Your approach cannot be "wrong" if it works for you (IE- it allows you
to challenge yourself and take pride in the music you create).

Sure- I read music- not as well as I used to , but I can still read (&
I've had some college Music theory as well).

IMHO- these are just tools to help me make music. That's it in a
nutshell.
