practicing with a band and going to open mic nights, etc... opens up lots of other doors in the perspective and 'thinking on your feet' dept. you can read about exploring the amazon river all day, but you'll learn a lot more by going down the river...when you can apply those skills and knowledge, that is when it all really sticks with you. On the other hand, willie nelson didn't start to get really good until someone gave him a book on jazz chord/melody/harmony, he studied it for a few months while he was gigging/recording and presto!, he got real good real fast...
