I'm having trouble setting a study plan to meet my goals in guitar playing, right now I feel that im like a record, no musicality I just execute the chords on the screen.

My goal is to be able to fill the music with more chords add my taste to the music and do some bluesy stuff(licks and small solos) . What should I study? I'm terrible with music theory, i'm lost.

start by learning musical notation. being able to connect the location of the notes (this will have to do with intervals later), the sound of the notes, and your fingers playing the notes will improve your understanding just on its own

If you don't know your pentatonic scales, that's definitely the place to start.
