A personal method of writing songs is not the same as using music theory like it's studied and practiced in its most common forms. That Beefhart is aware of some of it because of
YEARS of having made music (even though he hasn't for ages) is a normal progress for anyone who has a modicum of talent and keeps going at it for some time. In saying that, you can still write perfectly good and technically impressive songs without knowing music theory. Unless ameteurish internet chit chat now passes for hypothetical ''music theory''.
