I actually have to agree with this for the most part. I know some basic theory as far as a few scale modes and which scales to bust out, but past that, I sort of turn my brain off unless if I'm actually trying to think a specific phrase or technique that I want to do, like playing a harmony. Everything else, I just feel. Like I play the opening to crazy train and do a pinch harmonic on the D. Don't know why. I just started doing it. I will say though, knowing a lot of theory really brings one to the next level. I've noticed this with my brother who just graduated with a performing degree o the tenor sax. He always really good but now it just blows me away.
