Solo or no, I would advise against skipping lessons because it’s just 10 minutes but over time you will find you become better all around. Your goal sounds similar to mine which is to enjoy community through music with others at church or a campfire or family gathering. There are a diversity of materials presented in challenges and the exposure to them accumulates. You don’t need to master the style that is presented. Just give it your 10 minutes and trust the process. (And have fun.)
