There is no law, yeah. There is also no law against me making my well-founded and fucking common sense statement that people who can't make chords yet have owned a guitar for awhile are quite simply poseurs.
Gee, what's there not to get? Seems pretty straightforward and factual to me. I'm not the contrarian here. You fucking are. Don't try to spin this around on me, dipshit.
Oh, and please spare me any Sonic Youth argument. Sonic Youth tune differently in large part just to make chording easier. They play a lot of chords. Some "chords" they invent, but they also play chord-forms as well.
It's just that they sound different due to the alternate tunings and heavier string gauges which get a different tone out of the instrument. Thurston, Lee and Kim also learned standard tuning before they ever tuned any differently.
This whole garbage of "I don't need to learn chords to make music" is for idiots. It's like painting. Someone with no art skills may try to make an abstract expressionist painting, but unless you know color theory and life drawing, then the overwhelming chances are that your "art" is gonna suck.
