This was also covered in the crash course in your last thread.

Do you actually read the responses people take the time to write?

I think what your best bet would be is to pick a song that you really like the chords of, and try to pick it apart. Learn the chords both by their names within the key of the song and in roman numeral form.

Then pick apart another track after you do that one, so you can compare what is going on in each and what aspects are similar, different, or how you can borrow from one and put it into another etc.

Plus you can learn about the way the track is intentionally structured.

These would give you a good starting point instead of trying to take a musical theory that applies very generally to many forms of music, but might not distinctly help you connect to your initial goal.

Using that as a base or platform, you'll be able to grow your musical knowledge from there.

But basic chord scale questions (especially when you're making entire new threads instead of asking further questions in threads you already started), might get you lost if you are first being introduced to the concepts without Hearing what they mean.

You haaaave to absolutely ahead chords/scales/intervals/progressions to understand them.

(and the enharmonic keys for good measure)

Gb Ab Bb Cb Db Eb F

Cb Db Eb Fb Gb Ab Bb


…and that's all assuming the OP is asking about major keys. You can't tell because the Roman numerals are all upper case, which doesn't show the quality of the triads (Schenkerians would love this guy).
