it's nice learning new things about guitar, and i enjoy it when i do, it always helps me advance and realize new things. that said i've never known any theory purists personally who could write songs worth a shit. theory can only get you so far without the ability to write songs, and just writing songs can only get you so far without learning technique.

Yeah, I know my way around. The guitar isn't my first rodeo, either. I play a dozen other instruments, all at an adept level. I was a music major for two years, before I grew a brain. Thanks for looking out though

for everyone arguing if music theory vs feeling, go youtube all the asian child prodigies. These kids can play the music, and know the music theory inside and out, but the songs lack any feeling or depth.
I played guitar and bass guitar for years just learning by ear and feeling the music. Just within the past few years I have been filling in the blanks with theory.

Glad to see this thread turned into 7 pages of PURE WIN!
And FYI aku......chords are not easy. Not if you have NO idea what your doing on the guitar. Ask a newbie or a shredder in guitar center if they can just figure out 3 chords, ANY of them. I garentee they will not only be unable to play chords, they will create horrible dissonant shitty sounding pitch clusters

I play guitar and am taking intro to music theory at my college. It has helped me a lot, but its also pretty fuckin boring.

I know guys that can shred better than that; play better rhythm than I can, and hardly know any theory/scales/chords at all. Some of the best players on earth never took a lesson at all. They know every chord I know, but they just know them all as 'that one' or 'this one'. Scales and chords are not rocket surgery: It would be arrogant to assume a reasonably intelligent and talented men/women, cannot figure it out on their own terms.
I agree, this stuff opens trillions of doors, but then again, so do drugs..
I'm just sayin..

I don't really know much guitar theory, I've been playing guitar since I was a child until now and found that playing from the heart is the best thing to do. Obviously its good to have some knowledge of basic theory to increase one's musical flexibility.
I'll be posting a new song I am composing soon on the music and arts section of the forums:)
