Doesn't anyone on here actually play?
First you learn to play the instrument, say, guitar.
Then, because you're an INTP, just about the time you say "OK, I know how it works," you explore style.
It's not "style first." It's "what note corresponds to this marking on the page?" Basics. How to deploy the basics is the style, but the basics are inevitable, otherwise you are simply a 'bad' jazz player or whatever. If you don't know the basics it is more difficult to study and learn the things that go into differentiating the various styles. And the more you know about the basics the more you can appreciate what various supertalented prodigy musicians do, like Dick Dale, untutored and left handed, learning to play guitar what everyone else would call backward and upside down. Or exactly what the Beach Boys did with chords that nobody else was really doing, that pushed some of their sounds beyond the predictable and gave (some of) their stuff a haunting quality. Or why George Harrison called augmented chords and seveths "the naughty chords." That's all "interesting" and you usually need to know where everyone starts to be able to best appreciate all that.
Then when you get bored with rock guitar or whatever, you try out another style.
And when you're bored with all of them, you pick up a saxophone and start over. Etc.
You are INTPs. There is an excellent chance your involvement in music will be a dabbling in everything for periods of time that correspond to your ability to master an instrument or a genre. And what you like to listen to may end up having nothing to do with what you like to play. Bo Diddley liked to listen to Broadway show tunes and Big Band music even though he played the most basic, driven, rock and roll based on blues you could imagine.
Just don't pick up an accordion. Really.
