Sounds good. So you're getting into metal?

Music is just like a language. You can learn to "speak" it without learning to read it. Supposed to be the best way, playing by ear but not everybody are blessed with good ears (I'm not). Reading music is good as you'll know what you're doing but hard to be fluent, that comes from experience.
