I know that's the way it works in German, but I'm not sure about Hungarian. If you do use music terminology this way that could be causing some misunderstanding in this post.

A B H C Cb D Db E F Fb G Gb

No, that's cool. We all make mistakes, especially in the beginning - and especially with theory. Just remember that every note inbetween naturals can be referred to as a flat or a sharp (for example: Bb is also known as A#), but when going up, you always use sharps and, when going down, you always use flats.

You seem to be doing pretty well for a beginner.

I read it, but it didn't really say why... So I'm guessing that they don't know why. Maybe it's a "that's just the way it is" kind of thing.

I think they did.

These evolved into the modern flat and natural symbols respectively. The sharp symbol arose from a barred b, called the "cancelled b".

In parts of Europe, including Germany, the natural symbol transformed into the letter H: in German music notation, H is B♮ (B natural) and B is B♭ (B flat).

Because the letter B with a natural symbol looked alot like the German letter H.

Another reason for the H note is so that Bach could spell his name in notes. Other compserers that elude my mind at the moment have also done this.

Well it' not about chords, but I gone tell you, I had my 4th or 5th guitar lesson and I LOVE IT!!! All I have to do is practice... till DEATH

Well, it's both the easiest thing in the world, and the hardest.

Once you get the hang of it, it's actually not very hard to do. However, you'll spend the rest of your life trying to get better, and if you're like me, you'll never be as good at it as you want to.

What does polyrhytm mean?

[playstopause]

^

I guess it's when there is several time signatures inside a single song or piece of music. Progressive + jazz music have a lot of rhythm changes to mark sections and/or change "color" within a (long or not) song.

As a simple example, a song could start with a basic 4/4 tempo.
Then, at some point, it could switch to 12/8 and so on...
I could be wrong though
