music theory is just the study of tones and sounds and their spatio/sonic relationship. some tone combinations create a sense of peace in our ears, some create love, some create urgency, etc. balladeers and shit ahve been using the exact same 3-4 chord progressions for centuries because these set chord progressions, by their inherent sonic quality, affect humans the same every day, every century.
even the most basic player is using music theory whether he/she knows it or not.
a player of an instrument cannot help but learn some basic music theory just by virtue of practice and exposure to playing different new pieces.
