Hello everyone. Hope you all are doing well. I recently have been craving to learn music but I do not know where to start. I used to play one instrument which was the Tabla but I've completely forgotten everything about it. I'm more into instrumental music like Steve Vai, Greg Howe, Joe Satriani, Buckethead and recently been listening to Yngwie Malmsteen, Toni MacAlphine, Joe Stump, John 5 and many more. Not only that I've also been listening to alot of video game and Electronic music as well. Personal favs are Halo, GTA series Pizza Tower, FTL, couple of tracks from Mick Gordon, Carpenter Brut, Timecop 1983, Perturbator Etc. I do apologize for listing these out but I just wanted to give you guys and idea as to what type of music I'm into. I recently found out on YouTube about a flash game ( apparently it's a DAW made 12 years ago) called Punk-o-Matic 2 and I've seen this YouTuber called Nik Nocturnal making music through this flash game.
There is also another software called Bosca Ceocil and apparently it is a really good DAW for beginners.
But I still cannot understand as to how to make anything through these softwares. I do not own any instrument but these apps are the only way I can play music for now.
I know it might take years for me to learn music theory and all that, but I've got to start somewhere. And I think I need to understand music theory first before diving into anything else.
TL;DR where to start learning Music Theory?
