I'd say yes- To be a half decent DJ you'd have have at least some basic knowledge of Music Theory (Timings, beat structures etc) which goes pretty hand in hand with musicianship.
Very true.
To a certain extent, DJ's could be classed as musicians, but like you say, its not as complex as reading/writing music and turning notes from a piece of paper into beautiful sounds
The thing about the guitar, yh you might get a few nice chords from trial and error, but if someone asked you play something from a sheet of music you'd be like errrrr
I see the definition of a 'musician' someone who makes their own sound..
DJ's make their own sound.. Therefore.. DJ's are musicians!!
Course they aren't.
Stupid thread.
they dont really make their own sound tho. they play someone else's
