Hi Micha,
The intervals lesson is part of a 2-part series of lessons called "guitar fundamentals."
Prior to the intervals lesson is another one about how the notes are named. It is here at the end of guitar fundamentals 1:

The intervals lessons are at the beginning of guitar fundamentals 2, which assumes you have already taken all the guitar fundamentals 1 lessons.
So if you haven't taken guitar fundamentals 1 yet, you should probably start there so things make more sense.
Hope that helps?
