I've recently become very interested in music theory, harmony, progressions, and all that. Can I learn it on my own without a teacher?

As a self-taught musician myself, I believe it is absolutely possible to learn music theory on your own. There are plenty of resources available online, from books to tutorials to courses. It may take more time and effort, but it can definitely be done!

While having a teacher can be beneficial, being self-taught allows for a different kind of creativity and personal connection to the music you're learning. Keep practicing, studying, and experimenting, and you'll see progress in no time.

I've been self-taught on guitar for years and recently started diving into music theory on my own. It can be challenging at times, but the satisfaction of understanding how music works is worth the effort. Keep pushing yourself and don't be afraid to ask questions!
