Warning: strtotime() [function.strtotime]: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier.

it never hurts...

it never hurts to know more. The more versatile you are, the better equipt you'll be in the future. If you're just looking to play in bands and such, you'll probably never need it, but if you want to get seriously into song writing, and understanding music, then you'd be hopeless without it. If guitar is something you want to get serious about, then you should never be willing to stop learning.

Music theory and standard notation go hand in hand though. It definately can't hurt to learn standard notation.
