ITT: Nerds who don't know how to rock. If you're playing full chords it's because your amp isn't loud enough or you need cool pedals. The time you're spending learning this stuff is better spent drinking brown liquor, smoking cigarettes in a garage while wearing a headband and peeing off the flatbed of Ronny Henderson's moving truck.
Just learn power chords. It's one string down and two frets over from your root note. Tabs are perfectly fine, just use em to play along with songs you know and you'll develope an ear. Writing songs is about sitting down with an instrument and doing it. Theory isn't needed in any way at all to actually play music. It's mostly just a way of putting into writing what can be way easier understood just by listening to the instrument.
