i started off with ZERO theory - did it all by ear from the very first moment on - worked fine.

now - much later - i´m pretty interrested in theory and
music history.

i mean... how are you goin to explain someone how to solo?? you CAN only do it by your ear and heart, because music is something very emotional. of course you can pic up the book of golden rules and write a solo like an architect using predefined rules - but that way it will sound very lifeless. its as if you are trying to explain the color RED to a blind man... *LOL* you will know what we are talking about once you tought yourself how to solo. then you will be like "aaah! now i understand" and you´ll be also telling peeps that they should do it by ear *LOL*

i know that this doesnt sonud very helpfull, but its part of your development on the guitar. you dont wanna end up as one of those theory-gurus, waving the cepter of knowlege at the artist, divinely signifying that he has done somehting theoretically wrong, even if it sounded brilliant.
