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
