Nope, not single note melodies, Im thinking of finger style as basically what ure described.

OMG I didn't even know this existed! Where is this lesson found at?!

I actually find it boring simply because I can't see how learning this much about chords(almost the entire GF 1 and 2 is about chords) can help me with fingerstyle, and for that reason, I find it boring and I also find it hard to retain what I learn, if you know what I mean for the latter. I know fingerstyle will need chords, but I don't know to what extent. But now that you have clarified, I am a bit more clearer now.

But eventually you'll have to learn chords or else you are only going to be playing one note at a time melodies. And that's fine, too! But the guitar is a harmonic instrument: you can play up to 6 notes at once on it! And playing more than one note a time means playing chords.

Definitely, thanks for the tips. Fingerstyle is what I wanna learn right now and if I need to learn chords to play fingerstyle, I will, as long as I can see how chords can help me with improving my fingerstyle. In this case, I am learning chords with a clearer purpose instead of learning for the sake of following GT's structure to progress with no clear goal in mind(That's what I had been doing for the past year).
