4+ months in and I would say my answer is “NO” to each of your questions. FYI… I play every single day for at least 10 minutes if not more. In the early days of the daily challenges I was rewinding the video like you over and over trying to figure out what Tony was doing, which fingers he was using, etc. Some days the best I could was one measure or just click complete and call it a day.
But on the other hand I now know the names of the strings, know how to read a tab, can do hammer ons, pull offs, staccato technique, slides, strumming patterns, bends, a power cord, several scales I can play from memory, alternate tunings, and I have about 13 cords I can play (but not the F cord!). And probably a few more things i didn’t mention. Btw… before I started I didn’t know what most of those words meant and certainly not how to do them! Last week I changed my guitar strings all by myself and the guitar still plays! I also have one 2 cord song I can play along with and I am working on a song that has 5 cords in it which is my 90 day goal.
There are certainly days I get frustrated (yesterday for example) and have to remind myself that I have so many small wins to celebrate and that this is a journey.
So don’t get yourself down, but focus on the small steps you are taking. They will add up.
