And sure, they “knew” a lot about music when it came to talking about it...
But they couldn’t PLAY their way out of a paper bag!
I can tell you right now that nobody, and I mean NOBODY who’s a good guitar player, sat around studying theoretical concepts all day…
... And THOUGHT their way into being a good player.
Have you ever heard about Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimmy Page, Slash, B.B. King, David Gilmour…
… or ANY of the greats, just sitting in their room and analyzing weird symbols and numbers all day? Heck no!
In fact, there are countless articles about famous musicians who DIDN’T study music theory at all!!
Ever heard of Prince? Ever heard of Eric Clapton? Ever heard of the BEATLES for crying out loud?
Anyone can look this information up.
The truth is…
These musicians learned a few simple fundamentals… and PLAYED PLAYED PLAYED the crap out of their guitars!
Look, guitar is a physical activity, just like a sport.
It’s easy to see how basketball players train on the court, or how football players train on the field…
