Not exactly a step by step. But, if you are overwhelmed, or sometimes even just whelmed, do three things. First, relax, and do some other thing. (clean the guitar, tune it, play a 4-chord progression you know without thinking (or 3 or 2)). Second, try it again the next day. Third, instead of pushing to get each lesson “done” each day. Schedule yourself 2 days each (be sure to favorite them all, however, so you can come back). This last one is because we all are too critical of ourselves, and if we take the time, will feel stronger about it.
A story. The 30-days to play challenge was introduced, and at the time, at the end of the challenge, those who had completed doing the lessons and had posted a result on the site were in a drawing (dart thrown at a page of faces) for a guitar. Now, the reward is the joy of learning the shuffle, and transitioning chords, and sounding more like music. So the candy apple on the string is different, but no less tasty (after all, there was only one guitar). By the way, the original completion period was 60 days between introduction and qualification for (in my case not) winning a guitar. Does that suggest anything?
Good luck. You can do this. From your post, it is clear you have the motivation.
