I just started taking live guitar lessons.. And I stumbled on quite a few problems with theory. Not only they name the modes in ohter ways - Ijol instead of Aeolian, Lydic instead of Lydian (they put stres on letter "c") etc.

But the main issue I have is, that They have note H instead of B - and B is Bb in Czech Republic ( i guess that we are not the only country in Europe with this error..). To be exact, the notes are C,Db,D,Eb,E,F,Gb,G,Ab,A,B,H,Cb,C

Also, 7b5 chord is called "the average" and instead of Em7 (for example), my teacher writes it as E-7. He notes Minor as minus sing..

What the heck is that? I know, that theory differs, but why that much? Why diffent notes?

And he (my teacher) totally destroyed me, when he argued that for example notes Eb and D# are actually different notes - that they somehow differ on fretless instruments, so when talking about intervals, in C Major scale, augumented 4th would be F#, and diminished 5th would be Gb.

I feel like total guitar noob...

What should I do now? Relearn everything? sad.gif My guitar self-esteem is on bottom, because I have problems with playing single chord now.. sad.gif
