We’ll start by discussing the major scale and move on from there but feel free to talk about whatever you want, that’s what this thread is for. Any questions or inputs would be appreciated.

You can learn music theory for many different reasons. Its pretty much just musical vocab so don’t take the “theory” part too seriously. So instead of randomly playing until it sounds good you’ll have a general idea for how things sound/work. You’ll know how to “make that s*** dark”. you’ll be able to figure out pieces by ear or at least by playing it after listening a lot more accurately. Finding different ways to resolve or transition in a song etc.

If you are on piano/keyboard it’s a lot easier to start than with a guitar tho the information can be carried/applied to guitar,bass etc.
Guitar is more interval based than keys as you can really see flats and sharps.

Now let’s start with the first thing you should be familiar with. The major scale/Simple chords.

Practice this scale and learn the formula so you won’t have to memorize every note in every key. Remember every note in the scale is the “right” note so feel free to experiment with those notes. There’s Many other scales But we’re focusing on the foundation of the major right now.
