right.

as is true with many other things in life, it's more about the journey than the destination. the pleasure I take from releasing the emotion through the music is more important to me than the end result. making music with other players feeds itself, and gives you the sense of completion that justifies the time spent practicing. you need to practice, howoever to get to where you can begin to play with emotion instead of just follwing the 'scripted' noted that are included in whatever song you're playing.

liken it to painting. you could use an overhead projector to just trace some great work, and come up with a beatiful painting, but why bother?
