Hi David,

I was wondering if the  technical level needed to play accuratly the artit study songs was related to the LOA which unlocked the songs.

I guess the answer is no since we can find some bends even in the first one for example.

Playing some other instruments, I know that a song difficulty level is not set in stone. But I know that I can lose some time trying to play something too much difficult regarding the current level I have, instead of working on other tunes/songs/exercises which will bring me new skills and help me later to master the firsts difficult song easily.

What do you think ? What would be the required lesson/LOA achivement needed in order to approach confortably those songs?

 

Regards,

Hello Boogieman. You're

Hello Boogieman. You're correct, they are not related. They do go in order of least-difficult to most difficult. "Blues For Big Nate" would be after L4 I would think, so you're approaching that soon.
