I think, Mr. Dictator, as cute as the attempt was, and as poetic as the classifications are, they are totally bogus. I have a habit of writing the majority in Dminor and I produce some very varied works.
Yes, yes, and yes. I have done all of those methods at various times in my life.
Interesting, since I tend to associate certain keys with colors and moods. I disagree with some of the quoted list, though.
BTW, I play the organ (the real kind, not these silly modern keyboards with everything programmed into them so you don't need to do much by yourself). I also used to play the accordion (until I lost my accordion when the basement flooded
).Today I had the opportunity to play the guitar in a concert with a local Jazz Band. It went rather well, I had already knew about half the songs played, but there were a few I had trouble keeping up with. I did get a couple solos in, though. 
I had recordings of various solos, either improvised or note by note copies of other guitarists, but they were all on tapes(should tell you how old those were 
).
I used to compose on the computer too, later on,but gave that up as well since it took too much time and i already have my literature to express myself with.
I still think of getting new strings for the guitar,and playing again, but obviously it would take me at least one month to get my fingertip skin ready for real soloing...

I'm picturing you looking around, not knowing the track, so saying fuggetit, jumping out of your jazz band chair, and shredding to the dumbfounded looks of the other band members.

I am a music illiterate (We had music class 2 hours a week in secondary school but we didn't really learn anything can't be taught less than an hour) But i really want to understand music. Where do i start? (don't have time or money for private lessons)

I am not interested in playing music. More like understanding it when i am listening. I would like to able to tell more than hmmm this is good. I would like to understand what goes in background.

or with composition. or with production. A lot of what goes on in music today is less compositionally interesting than it is productionally interesting.

Can I ask a guitar-specific question?
Of course!

what's your take on copyright issues, online download of music (legal and not), and new business models opened by internet for musicians?
I know it's really an open question... I would like to have your opinion in general on this topics and maybe ask more direct questions later.
One of the very direct is: do you believe that the current copyright system really protects the author... even when it covers his music 90 years after his death?
How would you envision a more fair system?
have you ever heard of bamm.tv ?

I think its really only fair to share copywrite material if some other fund is established to bring down the costs for touring musicians. If musicians must depend on labels for underwriting tours, then they really deserve to get paid for those recordings. Touring is *expensive* yo.

let me be the devil's advocate: if people can share, who will buy the songs?
Anyway I agree with you. if given a fair and easy system to buy single songs (like iTune started doing) then people will actually buy songs without any need of dealing with rapacious labels.
