It depends what music you're interested in. If you're interested in classical I would recommend species counterpoint since that's the basis of western harmony.
Justin Miller
if you want to be a music chad dont learn theory and learn everything by ear

im pretty useless when it comes to reading sheet music but I can play along to practically any music you throw at me (barring atonal classical - but im working on it). theory is essential to playing by ear. btw a lot of creative people will downplay theory to appear more mystical, kurt was a huge fag for this and his guitar techs would tell him they did stupid shit to his gear so he would think it was punk when they just set it up the proper way. whether you know power chord on first fret = F your still using theory and understanding not just what an F is, but why, helps you understand what might come next and how to subvert expectations.

Just learn Am, G. F, and C on the guitar and call yourself a musishen
