Interesting Ax, I do study theory but of the two I spend more time playing songs or hunting round the fretboard for new sounds and chord runs I find this good fun and really get to know the guitar, I think theory is important and will continue to study but personally I don't think focusing on one area for long periods of time is good for a person and your new approach seems to work better for you, sometimes it's great just to let your imagination run free and see what you come up with, it's good if all the aspects of learning guitar can be used to complement each other in my opinion and I originally started playing to have fun and never lose sight of my original intention, good to see you're out of the rut and enjoying yourself.
