Just starting out and not sure when to move on between lessons.
Onto playing A and E so at what stage do you consider moving on?
Is it when it’s a perfect change each time and over 30 per min etc
Welcome to the Forum John
This is like asking how deep is a forest?
All kidding aside. If you can change between A and E even if they are far from perfect I’d suggest moving on and adding the D chord. This gives you 3 chords to practice changes and these 3 chords go together to start playing songs.
I wouldn’t say perfect. Perfect is one of those words that set you up to fail.
When you can change smoothly with a few screw ups at 30 changes per minute between combinations of A D E you could move on to the next set of 3 chords.
Or if you’re getting bored, it’s OK to challenge yourself by adding more chords or trying grade 1 songs.

Hi Stitch
Yep got that
It’s just you can race on a bit so thanks for the advice
Played a very little many years ago but want to start again now I’m retired.
Not sure how far I will get at 61:joy:
There’s lots of 60+ beginners here so you’re in good company. I’m 65
Lots of very helpful people here as well so feel free to ask questions or join in on any conversations.
Hello John & Welcome!!!
Justin covers this at the end of Grade 1 for moving on to Grade 2 - that said, I think his advice works pretty well for moving to the next lesson also. Check out the last video in Grade 1.
Good luck!!!

Edit - I just checked & it’s at the end of Module 1 within Grade 1… sorry!!!
I agree with @stitch in that by adding that 3rd chord you can start to play songs which is more fun than just practicing chord changes.
I also agree that if you wait for perfection then you’ll likely quit before get anywhere. Equally if you try to race ahead you might know 8 chords but sound bad at all of them! It takes a bit of honesty with yourself to know whether you’re managing 8/9 out of 10 changes cleanly or whether it’s really only 5/6.
Thanks for all the input👍
Lots of good advice but for each module Justin provides clear guidance on when to move on
It is a tried and tested method, so just follow the bouncy ball. But as you have done here, if unsure reach out and ask for confirmation and assurance. We’ve all been where you are now and can offer genuine input based on experience. 
I would add one or two chords, I think these come in quite quickly in Grade 1, certainly by module 5. Not sure if you are using the JG app but if you can have a look at the Grade 1 on the JustinGuitar web site, I found this better to learn with and used the Practice Assistant to record progress.
As others have said perfect is a big thing to achieve, sometimes something we play on guitar will be great, then another time in a different context it won’t. For example changing from open A to E May becomes easy to do but when you try D to E the E chord becomes hard to grab. It’s all because you have to get your fingers to move from a different location on the neck and into a completely different shape, also as speed of song and changes increase the harder it feels. Learn each chord shape for a song and then slowly practice moving from one to another and back, do this for each chord change, gradually increasing tempo. Once you think you have the whole song at full speed increase it to 110% until that feels good, then when you play at normal speed it will feel easy.
