Autodidact, a loner Indian in the forrest

Hi
I'm Sandy Lavallart, 33 years old and music composer.
I've decided to write a blog about what i'm doing actually, in music,  a blog about the projects i have in mind, my projects actually running, my music experience and whatever...

Here is a short biography of my life :`
When i was 11years old, i've studied for the first time music, during one year where i played the piano and learned the "solfege".
I was 17 years old when i grab my first guitar and learn to play it alone until today.
I've learned to play the bass guitar, keyboard and many drums and wood instruments alone too.
 
Today, i can say that as many musicians, i'm an autodidact music player and happy to be !
Why ? Because, everytime i'm composing something, i feel lost...And i just love that...
 I don't know if an "E" note could sound better than an "A" or a "B"  after a "D", so i'm trying some ways i think i would never have found if i had studied the music and followed a logical and quick way to find the "right note".
I'm actually a really bad guitar player, really bad bass or other instruments player. Ask me to play an "A", i'll answer you : "hmmmm...could YOU play me an "A" first and i'll find it when i'll listen to you or seeing your fingers.

I just feel it, i know i'm bad but i don't want to improve my music with a teacher, i'm so afraid to lose control of everything, to forget my feeling and my own composing and playing style, as i was a Indian living in the middle of the Amazonian forrest, and a European architect would come to me to give me the art of building quickly a nice and huge house ...

I prefer living in my little sweat hut, build by my own hands.

Hug !
