In this video I discuss learning music theory and what it can do to your playing and your ability to communicate with other musicians. I’ve seen people say they don’t need theory, they just play by feel, which to me, is very limiting. But if one only ever wants to jam at home then maybe that’s fine. Let me know, did you learn theory? If so, was it useful?
