I think the more relevant question you should be asking yourself is if you dislike it so bad why are you trying to learn it? You have to know after 8 years of playing that you do not need to know theory to play the guitar. Theory was never written to explain why music affects emotion, it was created to explain music logically in a set of common terms or language.
God said to Abraham, “Kill me a son”
Abe says, “Man, you must be puttin’ me on”
God say, “No.” Abe say, “What?”
God say, “You can do what you want Abe, but
The next time you see me comin’ you better run”
Well Abe says, “Where do you want this killin’ done?”
God says, “Out on Highway 61”
