Let's say I want to find all lessons covering music theory in any style.
What's the best way to do it?

I see some lessons have 'Focus: Theory' but I can't find a way to click through to the Theory category.
I found I can use Advanced Search, I select the checkbox Focus -> Theory, click search. It gives me 11 results and it looks like it's missing some Theory lessons. For example, if I do a normal search for 'intervals', one of the lessons is 'Diatonic Intervals', it says it's filed under 'Scales' on this page:
http://www.guitartricks.com/tutorial.php?input=728
If I click the 'Begin Tutorial' button it takes me to this page:
http://www.guitartricks.com/lesson.php?input=13045&s_id=728
where the Lesson Info says that the Focus is Theory.
It's confusing, is it under Scales or Theory?
If I do Advanced Search and search for ether Focus Theory or Scales neither returns the 'Diatonic Intervals' lesson. Is Advanced Search not working properly?

It looks like the 'Diatonic Intervals' lesson can be only discovered by a direct search if you use the right keywords. I haven't found it listed in any section.

I wonder how many other lessons are hidden that way. There should be a way to click through to any lesson via tags or category links.

Also it's strange that the Core System lessons are not listed under Styles. Say I want to learn Blues style, I go to Lessons ->Learn Guitar Styles -> Blues and it doesn't list Core System Blues 1 and 2. Why not? How many other sections do I need to click to find all blues lessons?
I find I have to poke around a lot to see what content is available.

Would be nice to have clickable tags and categories. Then one click on a Theory or Blues category would give me all lessons on the subject.

I like the lessons. Are there any plans to improve the content navigation?
