I had a guitar teacher for about two lessons before Covid and then I just never found my way back once they re-opened. I distinctly clearly remember saying on day one to the teacher that I wasn’t interested in learning music theory I just wanted to play some songs. I thought music theory was for people that wanted to compose music. I was simply happy with playing covers of existing songs. The older wiser me now knows that you do need to know some music theory, because it makes it so much easier to remember those existing songs. Lol. As it ends up a good guitarist only needs to know about 10% of overall music theory, only what relates to guitar and fretboard layout. That little bit of theory is so important because it helps you remember what chords are normally played together or what notes of a scale are most likely in the same solo, making it so much easier to remember the song because the song is no longer just random information to memorize but more of a template
