One other thought.

I understand that most likely everyone on this thread is doing something other than jazz.

But just to make a point that IS applicable to all music...

Jazz theory is complex. Most jazz players make that a priority.

However, when you go back and look at all the great players. Nearly all of them did not make theory the top focus. In fact, many of them picked up licks, learning by trial and error, gradually getting there ear better.

Ear training is much, much more important than theory is for song writers.
