Hi Brandon,
I can’t say yes to any of your questions. I am in my 6th week of playing. I too have to start-stop-rewind all the videos. But I do tend to get most of the techniques. I try to get as close as I can before I feel the frustration. But I honestly feel that I am learning all sorts of things and making more progression than I ever did in the previous 22 years of dorking around trying to perfect a simple scale. I can see myself smiling in the mirror of my hotel room (pro pilot on the road for 15 days at a time). That 10 min thing; not so much. I am usually on the guitar for an hour. At home off rotation, I usually give about 30 min and mark the lesson complete. Bottom line, I am still having fun. Oh, and when I was at the FBO on a 3 hour layover awaiting passengers, I broke out my guitar and although I was in a small room the customer service reps came in to see what I was doing and expressed that I was making good progress and not running people out of the building.
