The ability to play scales, chords, riffs, songs, anything evenly in time with good rhythm is fundamental.

At this point, I encourage you to stop focusing or worrying about learning theory & different scale patterns & such. You need to focus on the getting the physical mechanics of playing right.

You need to be able to play any given progression or assortment of open chords or barre chords in time consistently. As far as scales, pick ONE, simple scale pattern from GF2 scale practice. Drill it slowly and in time until you can play it without fail or hesitation.

Songs are fine to learn, but getting the basic mechanics of changing basic chord right & in time is crucial. After all, without basic mechanics, you will never get all the way through any song anyway.

Just curious, but is the progression used in this lesson based on a specific song or something?

You've heard it 1,000s of times. :) It is a very generic, stereotypical chord progression that ha been used for many, many songs.

C (I) - Am (vi) - F (IV) - G (V)
"one, six, four, five"

It's the basis of Stand By Me, Stay, Last Kiss (Oh Where Can My Baby Be?), & lots of others. :)
