I do agree with William that when boredom and frustration start to set in, then it`s time to move on. As long as I understood the concepts being taught in that particular lesson and was able to play the practice tune at least decently ( not perfect) at a minimum 70% speed, then I allowed myself to go to the next lesson. Of course my goal was to try to play the practice tune well at full speed but that didn`t always happen. You can always come back to that lesson later and brush up on it some more . You`ll be amazed how much easier that practice tune will be when you got more playing time under your belt !
