It's all about enjoying yourself people if you don't try something else, I learnt theory when I first learnt guitar many moons ago ,and thought I was a smart arse when I was younger as you do , I then played with some older muso,s ,who didn't read music or do theory these guys were real good and I got put in my place , now I play by ear and have done so since my total humiliation, I still enjoy theory but it keep to myself, as long as get your groove on just enjoy it .swings and roundabouts really people 😳
