Learn Free Music Theory

Andrew Furmanczyk's "Learn Free Music Theory" is the best, in-depth music theory course offered on YouTube. It is long — over 18 hours long! — but Furmanczyk walks students through the very beginning of music theory to intermediate theory, similar to an introductory college course.

Music Theory Distilled

If you enjoyed Ableton's notation-less, rapid introduction format, then Casey Connor's "Music Theory Distilled" would be a great fit. Connor's course is similarly structured, covering Melody, Harmony, Rhythm, and Scales.
