There are a lot of inaccuracies in this tutorial. For example, the sampling is actually related to how accurate the texture will be mixed into the color, the mix is not the opacity, but the algorithm used to mix the color with the rest of the shader, Luminance is the self-ilumination (you can make things glow, especially if you render with GI), specular is really the way the highlights form on the object, and so on.
The tutorial is cool, but I feel that is poorly researched. Keep it up, though!

That's just the attribute material thingy.

At the bottom there will be a section where all your textures are, Double click on a texture and a window like the one in this tutorial will come up.

You can do everything you need in the material editor you see, So instead of going to the "bump" section like in this tutorial you just click on "Basic" Then check the box beside "bump" That will add bump to the list that is like "Basic, Colour, Diffusion" that is at the top in your screenshot.

You're better double clicking on a material though.
