Hey & welcome to GT!

I encourage GT students to keep each lesson in your practice schedule until you understand all the info presented and, or can do the skill taught.

Having said that, please keep in mind, all the lessons in the courses are designed to be watched over & again. So, if you get bored with one chapter, move forward to the next. But, always make time to keep going back over older lessons until you have it completely under your command.

Things like memorizing note names, chord shapes, scale positions, are all things that will take a certain amount of time that there is no getting around. There is simply no substitute for repetitious practice until these things become automatized in your mind & hands; until they are "second nature" to you. So, expect to keep revisiting the same things over & again. But keep moving forward enough to keep things fresh & interesting.

Hope this helps. Take your time, be patient with yourself & have fun. :)
