hi,new and a little lost

how long do i stay on a lesson. 

Hello and welcome, Dunner!

I'll start right out by saying I'm no pro and there are no doubt others here infinitely more knowledgeable and better players than I am,

but I think how long you stay on any particular lesson is a personal preference.

You may pick up on some quicker than others or you may want to review and repeat certain lessons. That's one of the beauties of this site...

you go at your own pace. There is no pressure to "keep up" with anyone or be done by a certain time.

I would suggest just go with what feels comfortable and HAVE FUN!

Good Luck and enjoy,

Lou

Some lessons I do a drive-by on, as in take the information I want/need that supports my goals. Other lessons I will return to a few times a week because I like the jam and I really want to get the technique better and more polished before moving on. If the lesson is hard, I'll return to it often while practicing easier things. 

I'm with Ozzie on this; just keep having fun. You'll pick up on things faster if you're entertained. 

I did forget to mention, I move slowly and apply the lessons I learned for the week. At most, I am working on only two things a week in the same chapter of a lesson. For example, Music Theory: how to build chords and Blues Intermediate lead. I'll stick with those lessons for a week and find something easy to pass over when the current lessons are too difficult at the current time, or I haven't made 100% progress.

I hope that makes sense. I stay on the hard lessons that I wish to master and just have fun learning something new with the easier lessons. I move slowly and deliberately until I digest the two intentional lessons well.  

It helps to move on when you can play the lesson’s key idea comfortably, even if not perfectly—mastery comes from revisiting later.
