I would like to know who rates the difficulty of the lesson the teahcer or GMC, because if the teacher is the one that rates them is something very relative, i think there should be some parameters to rate the lessons.
For example part 1,2,3 of Asturias have 3 or 4 of difficulty level and part 4 has 5, and Etude in A minor - Giuliani has 5, and in my opinion the etude is a much easier piece for example. What do you guys think about the ratings?
Its all relative to the instructor for Vinod or Kusei every piece is easy thats why he puts very low difficulty to most of their lessons for example.

I use the difficulty rating just as a first resource to choose between, let's say, 20 different rock solo lessons.

Once I have narrowed the list to 3 or 4 lessons I just watch the videos and forget about the difficult rating at all, all I trust is my ears to see if I like how it sounds, and my eyes to check if I will be able to learn it in a reasonable amount of time.

Thats a good strategy! Use numbers as general ratings and than see if lesson looks doable to you.We may choose some advanced techniques too but still be able to practice them nicely if you set your mind to it smile.gif
