Nope, not at all. When I was doing Music GCSE I also took some theory lessons one lunchtime per week and got up to around Grade 3, but now I'm pretty rubbish again xD

Lol I had a guitar tutor
but our lessons were mostly practical even though he did a bit of theory
I just read up online about music theory so I know the basics
