Learning music theory, scales & modes…

For the past several months, I have been heavily studying music theory, also scales & modes. I’m getting really serious with this stuff. I want to become a better guitar player and become a little more professional. If you’re going to play music and write songs, I think theory is important. If you play in a band, and the other musicians tell you what key to play in or what chords to play and not know what the notes or scales are, then you’re screwed. I’ve been carefully doing some reading about theory through instructional books. Theory is not that hard to learn, it’s actually very easy, it just takes a long time to memorize. Knowing what notes are in chords and how they work with scales & modes, all that stuff. Just want to improve my playing. When you know music theory well enough, you’ll have a better ear and you’ll be able to play everything. That’s my goal in the music world. I keep myself busy with music and fitness both at the same time.
