I'm in my 4th week with fundamentals one and have completed ~80%.
I'm practicing every second day between 30 minutes and 2 hours.

Perhaps I could have finished fundamentals one in this time but I looked beyond the borders of fundamentals one.
To practice chord changes for example I started with the beginner level of country as a variety of the already learned.
Even so with the beginning of the blues section.
I also took a first look at the rock section, but there is a difference how the known chords are played. Damping strings is contrary to the fundamentals where you have to learn a clean sound of the chords. So I'm not looking into this genre right know *sniff* (I love rock and heavier).
Or I tried 'Achy breaky heart' and have a lot of fun with it. 'Sweet home Alabama' is easy from the chords but I could not keep the pace.

All in all the fundamentals are set up really good and I love these lessons. I really have a lot of fun playing and some sidesteps increases the fun.
