This strikes me as vaguely "something-ist". Why should we assume that guitar playing is worth more to the world than turntabling?

Theory may be good for composers, but it usually makes for wildly boring guitarists. Tonveigh MacAlsteen kinds of guys know lots of theory. I wouldn't really support that in an election.

How 'bout teaching them how to funk.
