I'm not sure where the whole thing that music theory is a heavy bummer came from. I never found it like that, I found it fascinating. It explained what I was hearing.
Probably the key thing you're looking for is learning how to sing, hear and recognize intervals. That's a good thing to know. A long time ago I figured out a song for each interval and that's common way to do it.
There's something they don't tell you and that is that the way music is written on paper was based on piano, not guitar. Guitarists got screwed on that one. If you play guitar, it's usually a real benefit to learn a little keyboard. At least the layout of the notes and some basic chords. You can see the chords very easily on keyboard compared to guitar.
