Is it wise to just learn pieces out of books and mags and create a large catalogue of obscure pieces that nobody has ever heard of or if you are presented with a guitar a a party everyone asks for songs to sing-a-long to and what you play is the bouree by bach.

I have been accused of just wanting to play cool tunes but not learn to play the guitar. The pieces I like to play tend to be things that sound like I have made an achievement when I can eventually play it flawlessly.

Should people throw themselves straight into music theory and learn all kinds of boring things, or does this just put most people off playing quicker. I think when we all started to play the guitar there was always something weve heard and said to ourselves WOW this is really cool must learn this now.
