Good idea. Every concept & skill builds on the next. So reviewing helps solidify things, give you a wider perspective & context in which to integrate it all.

Ha...all of this can be overwhelming! I've been playing for almost 2 years now, and I feel like there is so much I don't know! Is this normal?

Yes, totally normal. :) Your conceptual knowledge should grow with your playing skills. So, it's great to stop & ask a question like you did to help you understand the concept being used with the physical playing skill technique.

Take it one idea & skill at a time. Be patient with yourself. Try to enjoy the process!
