If you haven't already, you should start with the major scale and the diatonic chords based on it. So much Western and popular music is based around this scale, that it is essential. Know your pentatonics and blues scale if you're playing rock, country, R&B, etc.

Basically, just learn the theory that underlies the things you already play. That way, you're not overloading yourself with unnecessary information.
