"No theory is needed to be a great musician"

I would say that "Not much theory is needed to play great sounding music"

So...

1. Define "No theory" does that mean zero theory?

Do you know any "great musicians" who have no idea what a 1/4/5 is or have no idea what a C chord is?

2. Define "theory" does that word mean theory only taught in a certain highly defined way by only certain schools?

3. Define "great musician" Is this someone who is only able to play "great sounding music and has no ability to communicate that music to others in any other way than by having others listen to the music?

Well, if the music is not too complex and not too fast I can play along with no instruction from anyone. I can quickly find the key assuming that it does not change every other measure. I can slow down or speed up by paying close attention to what I hear. I can follow most things that have some sort of structure.

Yes, I can play with someone who has no idea what key they are playing in or can not or will not play in time but it is a PITB, not fun at all.
