   So, I started spinning a month ago, and I've been religiously following Kam's learning order flowchart.

   So, I first figured I should learn every fundamental, since that's you're supposed to go, right? I learned the charge (23), sonic (23-12 and 34-12, but not as good at the latter), thumbaround, and fingerpass (throughout the whole hand). After that, I figured I should learn the reverses of everything. It was tricky, but I can finally do a reverse charge (albeit a 12 instead of a 23). This past week I've managed to do a reverse fingerpass, although it's very jerky and needs a lot of work. So, going by the chart, I figured I should try to learn a reverse thumbaround. I tried a tutorial, and man that's hard. I remember looking at a tutorial for a reverse sonic a while back, and I guess I could learn it, but I dunno. I think after a month, the novelty of pen spinning has started to wear off and I've getting a little bored. Is it really that important that I learn every reverse fundamental, or should I go on to more advanced stuff? Kam's guide looks like I probably should learn them, but not in every case. So what should I do next? Also, am I following his guide too closely?
   
   I'd consider reverse's very important, they expand your combo's
