I recommend that you follow Kent Hewitt (piano), Adam Neely (bass) and Rick Beato (guitar) on Youtube. They all talk about various aspect of music theory, composition, etc. Kent Hewitt is providing more of a full-blown online jazz course, Rick Beato makes incredibly interesting analyses of songs of all style (mostly rock) but also talks a lot about scales, harmony, improvising, etc. Adam Neely is all over the place :)

Also recommended: 8-bit Music Theory (theory & analysis of video game music in an easy to digest format) 12-tone (all over the place but always interesting, dissects popular songs sometimes and also gets into some very weird fringes)
- frabert 7y ago
  Also Signals Music Studios (great practical applications of music theory to composition)

all great channels, I love them all. However I kind of feel like you can only really learn from them if you have a solid foundation of music theory already. If you don't, then you will be surely be entertained by these videos, but I doubt that you will come out of it with real knowledge. It's like... you can watch anime with subtitles all day but you are very unlikely to learn Japanese this way.

  Rick Beato and Kent Hewitt both wrote good books that will allow serious learners to start up.

"Music Theory Everyone Should Know" by Rick Beato and many additional videos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9d26tpvA4U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9d26tpvA4U He also publishes a book on music theory, but I've not reviewed it.

Rick Beato's series "What makes this song so great" is fun if you want to see/hear theory applied to rock songs. And learn about rock music song construction or rather destruction since he plays the isolated tracks of the instruments and vocals. It isn't theory instruction its theory discussion and straight fandom.
