Music theory always does my head in, to the point that I've managed to pick up practically none. I know it all makes sense if you get into the mathematics - cadence works because of shared Nth-order harmonics, for example (IIRC) - but the basic stuff, with notes, scales, keys, etc. just seems entirely arbitrary without any of that backing, so it never sinks in.
