Dear Ursula
I read through this whole thread and actually understood everything the guys referred to. 3 years ago I would not have had a clue. I am however very interested in how stuff works and why things are the way they are (bit of a nerd/geek)
I have studied theory initially out of pure curiosity. To be honest, it hasn’t help my technique one bit (for that you have to actually play your guitar) it has however given me a much better understanding of music and why what gets done when and where. But to get where I am now (not that I know everything 😆) took time, effort and patients.
So I do not have any words of wisdom or insight to add to what has been said about music theory already. What I do want to encourage you to do is to just keep on keeping on. Things will eventually fall in place. The FBW is a great starting point and you get enough info from it to have a good foundation to start you self study from.
So just keep on keeping on 😜
And remember to have fun
