It's kind of like reading the drivers manual before taking the car out for a spin. There are some things you'll only learn once you start driving, but it's nice to have read the manual first. 
I wish I could have started off that way. Where was PlaneTalk when I started?.... Come to think of it, where was this forum when I started?

I agree with Tekker. I've learned more about
useful, applicable music theory from PlaneTalk than I ever did from any other instruction books, websites, etc. I'm guilty of not practicing and putting it to work (at least improvisation-wise) enough also, but it's still been very useful in the way it opens up the fretboard and expands your knowledge of the instrument. Like Tekker said, even if you don't understand everything in it right away, you'll have a lot of "a-ha!" moments as you progress.
