There's a lot to be said for the happy accidents that come with approaching an instrument with no preconceptions but at some point you have to learn to play the damn thing so that you can get the ideas in your head out into the open and, if you are dealing in conventional western harmony, you might as well learn something about that too. If only so you know which rules you want to break and why.

It's the great failing of English rock and roll since 1976 (and why we turn out so many one record wonders) that people confuse absence of facility on an instrument with some kind of noble and naive primitivism. Not being able to play and choosing to play simple are two very different things.
