Been playing a couple of weeks. Just started Chap 3. I've learned the basic cords (still mute some strings) and switching between cords (slowly). Little bit of rhythm. I've been trying to take it slow so I learn correctly. My question is...At what point should I try to play a song? Will learning a song improve my cord progression or should I just practice switching between cords until my fingers know what to do instinctively?
I think it's a good idea to put what you've learned to use. Find a simple song with the chords you know and work on it. Keep up with the lessons but take some time for a song. I've done the chord drills just switching back & forth but it gets dull, playing something keeps the interest up. It will help improve your skill, at least it helped me.
