I've been there drutgat.

While I do think that learning music theory and being able to read music is a necessary skill for all musicians, I certainly do not think it is the only skill needed.

I've known a number of musicians, but those who read and those who do not who cannot improvise, others that could not learn by ear.

I was in a band where the bass player (who could not read music) could not learn by ear. I had to figure out the bass parts and show them to him. All I had to do was show him once and he would get it.

Every additional skill you learn can make you a better musician.
