Hello Dale.
Welcome to JustinGuitar and the Community. I’m arriving late to the hello and welcome party. You’re now several months further along - are you anywhere nearer to making Justin’s fantastic lessons and resources work for you? You’ve landed among many fellow Antipodeans too! 
There are many good folk here who will happily offer help and encouragement to those coming up behind them on Justin’s Beginner Courses. They embody and carry the pay-it-forward ethos we have nurtured for many years in our community. There are many old hands too who have years and (hopefully) a bit of wisdom they can bring as they give their support to those hitting the road blocks - which we all do.
Just ask if you need anything else.
Cheers

Hi Richard,
Thanks for the welcome message. Everything’s going good at this stage. I’m mostly using the App and marking off my progress on both the App and website lessons. I’m finding my prior music experience (Trumpet and general music theory) really useful and surprisingly transferable to guitar. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to follow up with questions when needed. At this stage I’m nearing the end of Grade 2 and will be spending some time consolidating so maybe something will come of that where I need assistance. I am lurking in the background, reading people’s posts and following their progress. You’re are spot on. It is a great community and I hope I can make more of a contribution at some point in the future.
Cheers,
Dale

Cheers Dale.
Based on this …
6 months to reach the end of Grade 2 is fast and I would advise on the need to spend a lot of time - some months - consolidating and applying your learning to many, many songs before you consider moving to Grade 3.
Solid foundations are essential so don’t feel like upwards movement is the only progress.
