No it doesn't.
Music theory is useful.
You don't absolutely need it, but it'll help you not suck.
as for dissonance...try this:
A-----6
E-----2
or
A----7
E----2
Do you have the hands (paws) of a grizzly bear?
No it doesn't.

The second one is uncomfortable, but I can do it. The first one you should have no trouble with.
Seriously, people, a 5-fret reach? Not a big deal.
And I'm 6'4 with big hands.
bow chicca bow wow

Here is an explanation of the intervals of music for guitar, assuming we're using the lower 2 strings, E and A. (I'm using these two strings because they're tuned in Perfect 4ths, though this would also apply to the lower 4 strings since they're tuned in Perfect 4ths, as well.)
Playing on the 5th fret of the E string below an open A string will result in a unison.
Playing on the 4th fret of the E string with the open A string will give you a minor 2nd.
Playing on the 3rd fret of E the string with the open A string will give you a Major 2nd.
Playing on the 2nd fret of the E string with the open A string will give you a minor 3rd.
Playing on the 1st fret of the E string with the open A string will give you a Major third.
Playing with both strings open or barred will give you a Perfect 4th.
Playing the E string open with the A string fretted at the 1st fret will give you a tritone, also known as an augmented 4th or diminished 5th.
Playing the E string open with the A string fretted at the 2nd fret will give you a Perfect 5th.
Playing the E string open with the A string fretted at the 3rd fret will give you a minor 6th.
Playing the E string open with the A string fretted at the 4th fret will give you a Major 6th.
Playing the E string open with the A string fretted at the 5th fret will give you a minor 7th.
Playing the E string open with the A string fretted at the 6rd fret will give you a Major 7th.
Playing the E string open with the A string fretted at the 7th fret will give you an octave.
One of the things that you're required to learn in Theory classes is the way different intervals sound, either in unison or as separate intervals.
Also, many of these intervals will sound dissonant when used with distortion, especially most of the chords that involve the use of 2nds, 3rds, 6ths and 7ths.
You're only going one fret beyond where your pinky is. If you can't do that maybe you should practice some stretches.lol at a 5 fret reach being no problem.
Good stuff. The DVD that comes with the Guitar Grimoire also explains this stuff. I would recommend that book to anyone, as it's fucking rad.Here is an explanation of the intervals of music for guitar, assuming we're using the lower 2 strings, E and A.
