Well, thank you. I immersed myself into the guitar scene many moons ago, and diligently sought out and emulated many of the greats, which is where a lot of my instinctual musical knowledge comes from. That, and spending countless hours in front of a TV, or radio playing along with whatever comes out of the speakers. I've learned, and then forgotten, hundreds, if not thousands of songs in 3-5 minutes, only to have them pushed into the back of my memory in the same sitting. I can recall some of what I figured out at times, but the fact that I even played through it at all is still a benefit in itself.
Maybe when I retire, I'll finally sit down and learn the fundamentals of theory and kind of 'connect the dots' so to speak. Then I'll go find me a pretentious jazz nerd and put him to the test.
