yes, for sure. The theory is not a necessary thing. Even the names of chords

I could play the Asus4 chord a long time before I knew what it was called.

If you play guitar very long, sooner to later you are going to put your little finger down on the high E string on the 3rd fret. Same with the A chord.

In fact the other day I was writing in the chords in BIAB to an original of mine and I had to stop and figure what the chord names were...lol

In fact, my original question came from listening to the way things sound from playing them, not some theoretical basis.

I think the coffee pot is still hot. We could talk about this in person you know!
