The best way to really grasp theory is on your instrument. Play with enough songs and learn enough scales/triads/shapes and the theory will come into place. Sure some people can resite theory for days but to truly know why it is what it is and how it sounds is a great thing. It takes years, but is the far better way of doing it than just memorizing facts from a book.

My advice to you... pick up your guitar and learn song after song. Learn what scales your favorite artists are using to get their "sound". Lastly learn all the major and minor triads you can as well as learning how to move chords like an a7 up the neck.
