Yes, however, I agree, nothing will probably beat applied experience.

Sorry to sound arrogant, but music is not science. The only thing that will help you quickly learn what you're seeking is to throw yourself into the deep-end knowing full well that it is perfectly okay and let the more experienced musicians help you. Week after week I play with a grandmaster who kicks my ass even on his worst day, but he is the nicest guy ever and helps me. Jams are there for people just like you and I to go learn the craft.
Tell me and I may forget.
Show me and I may remember.
Involve me and I will understand.
