Hey bro

Welcome to the forum. I know how you feel on feeling overwhelmed by all the information out there, and wondering what to do next and how to do it. At this time and age probably all guitarist feel that to some extent. What I found was that finding a guitar teacher solved this big time, by giving stuff in portions in the most effective order. You can also learn to be your own teacher by practicing your observation skills. Here are some tips to help you knowing what to do :

1 : Practice freedom : Play something and observe what you need to think about that comes in the way of just feeling the music.

Example : You play a song, and you need to think about how to shift chords just right on time. If that is the first thought, that is the first barrier you need to remove. Isolate that, and practice it.

Continue the process. You will see that the progress is very efficient since you are practicing the most relevant stuff.

Good practice
