learning musical theory for using Cubase, lol
How basic are we talking here? Can you read sheet music? If you can, google Tchaikovsky's harmony treatise. The first sections are quite basic and extremely helpful.

For composition. But I'd like to use Cubase for other things.

I'm able to read very basic things, but I've never practiced seriously. Thanks.

Comp dies every time I lay to sleep.

I know this may be heresy to say on /mu/, but r/musictheory is actually a really great community for fielding music-theory questions to, provided you've read through the FAQs and the resources provided in their sidebar.

The resources there are pretty good too, when it comes to getting to grips with the absolute fundamentals of music theory.

Theory should be applied. I never recommend studying without application but through musical exercises on your instrument. I suggest if you want to learn theory and still wish to learn guitar, purchase a good method book. I recommend the Modern Method for Guitar series by William Leavitt. It's quite dry at times but it will improve your overall musicianship. It explains theoretical concepts with classic guitar technique.
