I barley know any theory, i know the basic notation and my keys... but nothing else after that. I'm only in 8th grade, so next year at the 9th grade and up, they offer theory courses that i am going to defiatley take.

I mena i can play better than most of the KIDS in my town and in the area, but all fo the know theory.

I do not think theory makes you a better player, but it does maek you a better songwriter, and a better improver... so in some way .. yah .. theory helps alot.
but there are many guitarists that are great that don't know theor.

But overall, theory helps a whole lot, more than what ppl think.

I've never taken lessons in my life.. and i have a distinct style ( knid of satrianish/ Vaughanish.... but im not even 1/1000 the guitarist either of them are). But i aslo did have my metallica stage, and about 80 % of my playing is playing other musicians songs... but i have my own kool liks.

ciao
