It's very interesting - but to me, the "Right Brain" guys that especially impress me include those who NEVER learned to read music, and yet play in, from my perspective, an amazingly appealing and 'creative' way. I'm thinking in particular of Jimi Hendrix - he seemed to me to play more from the right than the left (again, that my very subjective opinion) - in the sense that he played with things in a very different way than I would imagine left brain people do.

I thin what I'm saying is - depending on which part you use more, your music will naturally sound noticeably different from those who focus more on using the other side (whatever that means) - and most people are led down the path of reading and rules. My particular problem has always been to invoke the right side - because I'm continually 'studying' the instrument rather than playing - just because of my personality, my limited playing time, and my 'perfectionist' personality.

How can I invoke more of the right side ?
