Hey Tinpan, couldn't agree more. Definitely don't want to go down that rabbit hole and get bogged down with theory. My focus for now is finishing fundamentals (I am about 95% complete) and then probably go to the Blues courses since Blues seems to a foundation of Rock. I am satisfied with picking up some theory as I go along so I can understand music and why it works but it is not my main goal. Who knows, maybe later. For now with respect to my original question, Mike has sufficiently explained the connection between what Lisa has taught and what he spoke of in his FB session. Also, I now have an understanding what is the CAGED system which I had previously heard but didn't know what it is. That enough for me.
Keep the advice coming as I wander through this journey.
Jim
