Oh, this is awesome! I'm a beginner, so I wanted to start with the easiest pieces first!

Elizabeth No. 2 would be a great starting point for you, especially since we have a brand new release with TY on that!
I would put No.3 more in between easy and medium since it does require a good knowledge of the upper fretboard!
No.4, 6 and 10 should be perfectly doable! So glad to have you on board for this challenge, let me know if I or fellow tonebase users can help you with something, this challenge is about motivating and inspiring each other!

Thanks, Martin, this is very helpful. Number 9 (which I love) seems to be missing from the difficulty chart. Where would you put it? I'd say either easy or medium.

Eric Phillips Your eye for detail!
I‘ll update the Etude Guide with No.9, but I‘d put it probably in medium as well for the slurs and the shifts, those need special attention and careful fingering! -
