That is something that has been debated for some time now.
I believe that the Shukaku is not what allows Gaara to control the sand, that would be like saying that all of the Hidden Mist shinobi have demons that let them control water.
I think that having the Shukaku gives him the sand that automatically protects him, since he doesn't control that himself, allows for the transformation, and gives him a greater chakra pool.
If the Shukaku was responsible for his jutsus then he would have had all of his jutsus all along and would have not developed the new jutsus that we saw against Kimimaro and Deidara. His jutsus are a result of his training, not from having Shukaku.
Of course, some will agree and others will disagree. Its all speculation and we won't know for sure until we find out what happens in the manga.
