C'mon folks, get back to helping the OP.
He's tried playing & it didn't work out. BIAB is made for just such a case isn't it?
As to what is & isn't music that's a matter of taste, culture, experience, history and training/programming.
Most folk still don't accept atonalism as "music" and I'm sure Schoenberg wouldn't have been keen on New Country, (is anyone?).
The ear versus the fingers - remember that BIAB is also a GREAT tool for those with problems processing physical movement...Stephen Hawkins couldn't type but he could certainly write.
My old man has a good ear but by the time he bought a guitar, (he was 56), he wasn't agile/subtle enough with his hands to make it happen. He can hear what is right n wrong according to his musical background/listening though.

Cheers
