00:34 - Marcel Hubregtse You don't need theory to become a great guitar player or any other musician for that matter. Most artists started off without any knowledge of musical theory
00:17 - LeKiwi Yea, but then it's not really called theory if you can't explain it in concise terms. It's similar, but ineffable.
00:15 - Zaphod Theory is important, but it doesn't matter how you get that theory. Whether it's through lessons or playing songs by ear, you'll essentially learn the same stuff.
00:12 - LeKiwi What happens when you play guitar for a long time is you develop a sense of "theory" in your own head. You sort of know which notes sound good and what chord shapes would go well...etc.
00:07 - LeKiwi Theory isn't a sketch :) I write music. I don't know theory. Explain that :P
00:05 - Fritillaria Theory is your sketch, if you don't have a sketch , you can't really paint.
00:01 - LeKiwi Theory is just a representation, you don't need it to write music.
