maybe when you learn the technicalities of playing you lose the love of wild sound in the same way
Not al all. Making music doesn't really alter my perception of other people's music. I just do it because I love music and it's a great feeling to bring something forth that previously wasn't there.

Just don't take playing an instrument too seriously. I know alot of guys who are full of themselves and refuse to listen to any music where "the guitar part is too easy". So basically if you go about it in a humble way you won't have any problems. At least from my perspective.
