Interval theory is all good and well in terms of piano and one-string on a guitar.. but when you have to start jumping around the strings is where it does my head in. I know there is a 4th between each string and all that (except for the distance between G and B string of course :)) but I just find interval theory so alien to the way I think about the shapes on a guitar.. yeh I suppose you could think of it all as intervals.. and when I look at the shapes on the fretboard, that is all they are.. just intervals.. and I can define my own personal style of playing in terms of intervals.. but I dunno.. if I don't have that base, I am lost.. :o

So yeh, I see what you are saying.. and of course I have to agree that "my theory" is not conventional theory.. but it's the only way I understand it, no matter how much I try to look at it the conventional way. :)
