Why would say that a person finished studying at university not know anything about the basics of music? What I'm asking here is related to guitar, as I'm inexperienced and I don't know if learning chords on guitar is really that important as a foundation for fingerstyle, since 80% of the fundamentals 1 and 2 is about chords.
