oh, kinda like performance. there's only so much an instructor can teach you about certain things.

perhaps when my brain isn't so fogged up, you can give me a better picture of everything?

oh , it's alright ! the textbooks you read probably taught you the basics and a little more , so it's fine .

it's not like there's a “ correct ” way to learn this , it's all self - taught .
