Those clips give the lie to the idea that he doesn't know any theory of what he's doing. He's absolutely aware of everything that he does, & does it for a reason.
Oh yeah, he feels every note. The theory thing is interesting though. I wouldn't say he was knowleagable on musical theory as such, but it's obvious he knows his fingerbaord fairly well coz as he explains the notes he's playing, he names them without having to work them out on the fretboard.
