Glad to hear it. :) Here's how that came about:

A guy I play roller hockey with is the Sports Info Director at a local college. I do occassional backing tracks for his sports webcasts, local radio shows & spots, etc. Last year he asked for the "Star Spangled Banner" in electric guitar form.

We got to talking about how a lot of the newer soccer guys on his college's team are British. I told him I could do "God Save The Queen" for them to play before their matches. He thought it was a neat idea and apparently they loved it.

Then I realized that I could turn all my studio tracks of it into a Brian May inspired tutorial. Because I did it essentially how he did (at the end of Queen's "Night at The Opera") - 4 part close harmony guitars playing the melody through.

I 'finished' the first tutorial in three days... about an hour each day... Is this too fast?

It takes as long as it takes. And that is going to be different for every individual. Just be totally honest with yourself about judging whether or not you really know and can do the stuff in the beginner courses. It's always there for you to review if necessary.

Jera is right in pointing out you want to be able to use the stuff in the beginner courses. If some idea, chord, scale, technique, etc. is in the those courses, it's there for a reason: it forms the fundamental basis of guitar technique and you will need it in order to move forward and learn anything else!
