Well I want to become the next John Mayer so none of that applies to me...................... haha. Kidding. I've never sat down and studied theory but my best friend did/does... He's at the Musicians Institute in Los Angeles right now doing his thing... I learn a lot when I play with him... but I can still play with him.... if that makes sense. I learn new things everyday... I tried ONCE to learn as much as a could about theory... but my playing style went to hell becuse I was concentrating so much on staying in the boxes.... I agree that learning theory is DEFINITELY the way to go... but just for those that missed the train... there's hope. If you can play without knowledge of theory... it should be pretty easy to pick it all up...
