But as your skills grow, e.g., around the time you get open chords down, there's nothing wrong with bouncing around to some 'easy' songs or adding other stuff to your practice sessions like chord progressions.
Others may suggest a different approach but I think we all agree that the key is to keep growing your skills and keep having fun.
And welcome!!
