you get so much more. If there's a chord you've never heard of,
you can figure out how, where and when to play it.
It's like everything else, you can learn it without understanding
how it works, but if you run in to a problem, you're lost.
Let's say you're a racecar-driver, and you practice and practice driving
around the Laguna Seca course, but you don't learn any basic race driving.
Sure, after a while you'll be badass at that course, but if you race
somewhere else you won't know what to do.
I suggest getting a basic music theory book, or even better, take
theory classes (if available). But then again, if you're not that interested
in music theory, it's a whole lotta work for a couple of chords.
