You’re off to a good start. One thing I wish I’d done sooner is prioritized rhythm over chord correctness, especially since once I started doing that, chord correctness started to come along in its own time. It took me a long time to let go of starting over, or trying to get the chord right again before the two beat, or some other correction. It’s better just to hit that beat, no matter what you hit it with . . . after all, when you’re playing with someone else or they’re singing along with you or whatever, they’ll forgive you for missing notes if you keep the beat, but if you lose the beat, you lose your singer too. 😁
Just keep at it, slow and steady, and the rest will come.
