There is no right or wrong answer here. Like.. if you enjoy sweeping.. you will spend more time there. And the things you arent Interested in (for me I'm not too concerned with hybrid right now as neat as it is) you wont waste too much time on. The lessons overlap anyways in a lot of ways. You'll notice that the deeper you get in.

Thank you, I’ll keep that in mind. It’s a matter of me wanting to make progress but not blow over anything as well.

Lots of great advice here. Some lessons are clearly more important than others; CAGED, fretboard familiarity, scales, Modes, techniques, etc. Once you get to the Advanced section, you might want to skim over certain concepts that you don't care for. You might want to dwell on alternate picking and not hybrid picking. We have sort of "kitchen sinked" it. Everything is here, but it's up to you to find things you like and a style you want to pursue.
Hope that helps.
Good Luck!

Thank you for that, I’m definitely going to be applying the idea of being able to apply information before moving on.

That did help, thank you very much. I’ve ruled out that I’ll most certainly regardless of anything else be making sure that I can apply the information learned from the lessons before moving on at all. Thank you again.

So always sort of reinforceing new things and older things?
Kinda.. my first year I sorta skimmed lessons. Last year I started to apply some and going into this year with blues lessons I've spent extended time on each lesson.. jamming it out a few times.. and hearing the difference from the last one. Then I move on. I dont try to overwhelm myself. But that's pretty easy to do here with all the videos.

Yeah, I’m glad you’ve found a working pattern for yourself. From all the answers, what I’m getting is, make sure the information is understood and move at your own pace.
