Both my son and I are piano players. (I've said this before>) He works in LA as a studio player. I'm a decent classical/jazz player, although
Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini gives me problems. Anyway...take my word for it.... Back in the day, most musicians would sit down and
learn the chord structure of popular songs...like "I'd love to see you tonight"...they mostly had to. Now?...nope, ..as soon as most musicians hear a popular song
they know exactly what's going on like "What is 9X7" Modern pop is really that simplistic. Excuse my rambling..
