I've finally made it through the Ricci Adams' Musictheory.net (http://www.musictheory.net/lessons) and wow...there is a lot to know.
Neapolitan chords, all of these inversions, circle progressions, etc. It really gives me a much greater appreciation for the orchestral composers who not only make complex music, but presumably understand what they're doing when they use all of this theory.
I sometimes wonder if it would seem so complicated if one goes to school for music, since you would be speaking that language every day. Maybe, maybe not.
Anyway, just noting how much music theory there is to learn once you dip your toes in the water. Happily, it's not really that essential for guitaring. :)
