ive found theory to be a wonderful thing. it gives me
games to play with my music. its important to simply
be creative... hit wutever notes feel good...turn up
the effects n wham away ...but without understanding
theory you will find yourself 'cornered' very often .
its always nice to be able to reach into your bag of
tricks and find it full. havent we all played with
great creative talent but who couldnt bring it all
together on a regular basis ? guitarism is a lifelong
endeavor. learn everything and practice lots of different
stuff...the only harm in learnin theory is that you will
learn how sparse your bag of tricks had been( and you
will cringe at your old recordings i bet too )
