JFRocks Lesson Difficulty Level Explanation JFRocks lesson difficulty levels are based on a 1 to 10 scale with 1 being the easiest and 10 being the most difficult.  The rating is relative to what the lesson is about.  For example if it is a Van Halen style lesson and we say it's a "6" difficulty rating then you need to associate that with Van Halen.  Maybe for example "Ain't talkin' bout love" is a 2 or a 3 and "Spanish Fly" is a "10". Obviously any difficulty rating we give a lesson is our opinion and is only given as a guideline.  The difficulty rating is great for those of beginner or intermediate levels, and also to gauge how easy or difficult a given song example is.  For example if we give a lesson a "7" for its difficulty level and you think the song example sounds easy, the "7" would indicate that maybe there's more going on than what you're hearing and some additional digging into the lesson's video and tab content should be done. To give a generic sliding scale for everyone to work with.  Let's say that 1 to 4 is "easy", 5 to 7 is "moderate", and 8 to 10 is "difficult."
