do i need theory

[ThomBassmonkey]

IMO you need a practical application of theory, but you don't need to know the theory it's self if that makes sense.

I've always said that I learned theory then forgot it, which is true to an extent. My fingers probably know more theory than my brain does, it feels natural to play around scales and intervals, but I couldn't always explain why what I'm playing works.

Learning the basics of things like scales, arpeggios and intervals is important though, just so you know where you're going instead of blindly following someone.

You are not a twat - the fact that you have taken the time to think about 'Theory',
elevates you above twat.

Learn some theory and leave the rest of your band looking like twats..
