This is similar to how I had learned to play the drums, which I started few months ago.  I didn&#x27;t want to spend hours and hours of practicing the rudiment strokes (aka single&#x2F;double strokes, paradiddles, etc).  Instead, I had learned just the basic on playing of drums via Youtube and internet, and then off I went playing the drums to the beat of my favorite songs, trying to imitate the grooves and fills.  &quot;Playing&quot; was equivalent to &quot;building&quot; stuff.  It made the learning all too fun, no matter how badly I played.<p>Also, the best thing to speed up the learning process was to play &quot;live&quot; in front of an audience!  It&#x27;s equivalent to building an actual product (such as a website or an app) that you can show off to your family and friends, and the feedback was invaluable.
