Hello guys so I play guitar have some knowledge on theory play some piano but still a little bit lost on how to apply it correctly

just jam with the keyboard until I find a progression I like..not thinking in theory or anything

I come from a guitar background and so far I can see piano playing is nowhere near lead sound or bass sounds you program in a synth.

so how can you succesfully produce music without a piano background? anyone doing it?

So.. I am analizing the possibility of studying music...

Any good ones worth a mention?
