> my 20s, where I was driven by what I wanted to do — the end result —
I totally understand what you mean here.
In my early 20s I was into electronic music and I wanted to make music like my idols. I was really more in love with the idea of doing it, or the end result, than the actual act of doing it. Because of that, I didn't really know anything about synths, synthesis, playing an instrument, etc. Which, ironically, are the fundamental skills needed to be able to actually do the damn thing.
Maybe if I had had someone to guide me it would have been different. Most of my friends were in rock bands, and those who were into electronic music production were just as lost as me. These days with Youtube it's a lot easier, everyone sharing their tricks and techniques.
