It does mate. Not intended to demoralise, but from what you've said, if you don't you'll rush headlong into disappointment where [u]expectation won't coincide with capability[/u], and that'll hit enthusiasm hard when the initial novelty and excitement of everything new about learning guitar wears off.

You're the driver of your learning curve. Be in control.

If I might suggest, find a couple of songs which [u]you[/u] really really like using the chords you've learned so far in progressions, and learn them until you can perform them acceptably at tempo [u]consistently[/u]. Not only is that fun, but you will quickly develop competency with them and the success will refresh enthusiasm. By the time you're ready to move on, a song with a tempo of 120BPM should feel easy and not present a challenge IMV.
