Hi! When do you think is a good time to move on from Chapter 1? I’m used to playing the shapes and can find all the notes on the fretboard in that way…I’m jamming away to the single notes backing tracks, but I can’t put my finger on a note and instantly tell you what it is without tracing back the shapes to the A or E string root..

That's normal. This will take some time to memorize, It won't happen in a week, but you can move on to other things. What's important is you keep this strategy in mind for the rest of your guitar playing life. You always want to connect a note on the fretboard to It's nearby octaves, as that will keep everything tied together in this big spider web of notes. Always strive to land on a note and call off what it is, and it will slowly start to become a normal part of your playing.
