I just learnt by trawling the web and searching out music theory sites mainly aimed at the piano because they ,re not using tabs.Obviously i can,t mention any site in particular for fear of advertising which is not allowed but i,m sure you,ll find the same sites i did and they all rated as to which are the best. Many music theory web sites are free and cover up to grade 5 music theory which will certainly see you all right on your scales and chords but to cut down a lot of study if you learn the circle of 5ths you,ll know the 1/4/5 chords of all the major and minor scales very quickly but that will mean you applying that knowledge to a knowledge scales so you can construct chords using only notes used in the relevent scale.
