Learning Scales, circle of 5th's and notation

[DanEly]

I've been playing for 6 years. Most of my playing well.. nearly all of it has been based on live performance and working with bands. I'm getting older and I'm starting to notice what I'm lacking. Theory, I really want to lock in with my scales (major,minor, pentatonic + different positions) learn the circle of 5ths, reading off the stave and brush up on my notation. For me I feel it's going to open new doors with my playing.

How do I go about this, what have you done to learn and improve your theory?

Look through Major Minor's basscamp pinned at the top of the Theory section. It is all in there.
