Here it is, the ‘secrets’ section. This is a systematic overview of the building blocks of music theory. Unfortunately some music teachers don’t actually know this stuff either. It doesn’t make them a bad person or a bad player for that matter, but it does mean they are a novice teacher. In martial arts you spend years getting to black belt lvl 1 and that is considered beginning of your journey, everything leading up to that is the fundamentals. By getting down your chords and scales, it might seem advanced but that is just learning your ABC’s. And if a teacher never covers theory or worse doesn’t know it, you’re just stuck learning tabs and songs at the 1st grade level.
