Why learn guitar theory? Why spend all that precious time trying to master the guitar fretboard, if this is -or seems to be- such a hassle?

...learning theory is PRACTICAL!!!

Regardless of your present level as a guitarist, I'm sure you will have often wondered why learning the guitar fretboard is -or seems to be- such a hassle. If you have ever given this a serious attempt, you'll know what I mean!

Every piano player, for instance, learns all the notes on his instrument during the first lessons he receives, if not the very first. From then on he develops a deep musical understanding, reinforced by the visual elements of his instrument, from the piano itself.
"Why shouldn't it be the same for me?!", asks every guitarist!

Yet, the opposite seems to be true in the case of guitarists and the guitar. Those who do learn all the notes on the fretboard do so by rote, by memorizing innumerable combinations of fingering patterns.
There seems to be no underlying system to tie it all together -no system that will allow them to integrate all aspects of musical knowledge into a meaningful whole...

...much less a system that is practical, and not a bunch of fixed fingering patterns and box diagrams. More than a system, a simple set of principles that would allow the guitarist to grasp all the possibilities within the guitar.
