I do not see scales as abstract.

I have a sort of inner sense for scale.

Theories are always very thin and insubstantial, experience only is tangible.

I don't like writing essays or theory.

I didn't take lessons, and I don't know my scales.

I'm not sure what theory is, unless it's the pursuit of fundamental questions.

I never had any big dreams about doing something on a huge scale.

If I pick up a guitar, I don't practise scales. I never have. I come up with something I haven't done before, new approaches to chord sequences, riffs, rhythms, so it becomes composition. It's not like the music I'm doing is just a single thread.
