Some people can write a great novel, without any formal “writer's theory” type education. Most of us cannot.

Some people can paint great masterpieces without any “artist's theory” equivalent of education. Most of us cannot.

Some people can write a great 3 act play without any formal “drama theory” equivalent. Most of us cannot.

I could go on and on, but I'll spare you.

I get tired of people trying to justify their reluctance to learn at least basic music theory because “so-and-so” is a great player without it. Most of us cannot.

Do yourself a favor, and get a book, watch YouTube videos or anything else that can teach you theory. You don't need formal eduction, but you will do better with the best method of education for you and your situation.

You will find two things (1) You will learn new things easier and quicker (2) You will be able to communicate with other musicians better because you will have a common language.

Music theory is “the fundamentals” of music. Learning it would help even those who achieved greatness without it.
