Now, that being said... and I will note this as an actual teacher... there is a rather huge gulf between the theory of how your skills work (i.e.: reading them and taking note of what they tell you) and application of how they work (knowing when to use them, how they interact with other skills, when to skip this skill, etc.)

    Theory is easy. Theory is useful. In theory I know how a guitar is supposed to be played, I understand the musical scales and their relationships to each other. Can I play the guitar? Passably, because I've spent hours on hours on hours practicing it, but just reading a book on playing the guitar does not mean I'm going to be able to do it.

    Don't confuse theory with application. Having one does not imply you will have the other, and the only place to learn the application of the theory is in the execution of the content itself.
