I started playing by ear and figuring out small parts of songs through experimentation many moons ago. My problem is this: I only learned how to use my ears and left my brain completely out of it. I thank you for showing me a more cerebral approach to guitar. I need to get better at knowing where the hell I am and why on the fret board.

Personally I will say the opposite situation (knowing everything but having no ear) is far worse. Building a strong ear is much more difficult than building a strong knowledge of the fretboard.
