You should make the time to learn the notes of the fretboard. Those are more fundamental. But notice that you really only need to know the notes of the first 5 frets. That will help you get the basics of the inversions lesson.
There are a couple of other higher frets required eventually, but you can extrapolate those from the first 5 frets as you get more advanced!
Bottom line, right now just learn the notes as presented in GF1. Play the inversion shapes, then keep going forward.
Remember, you are not done with the fundamentals after you watch the vids or go through the course once. :) Like all education, this is meant to be watched, rewatched, viewed & reviewed multiple times.
If you keep practicing regularly, then each time you go through it you'll be able to pick up more from the material. Take your time, be patient with yourself. Enjoy the process. Have fun!
Best of success. :)
