Definitely on the tricky side for Beginner but I'm not complaining, it was fun:

Meh to both song and chart. Some combination of bad sync and poor note recognition. I found this equal or slightly easier than Sin Documentos but kept dropping notes for no apparent reason:

 

Hard to rate difficulty on this. Personally I would make this the MC and an 8 difficulty because of the scattered parts with fast speed and weird string and fret changes where it just feels like random flailing. But the note density means I was able to go 98%+ so it's definitely not cut and dry:

And this song...man I love playing this, like nearly all of Flea's stuff. Nice chart and tone too. I scored lower on this one but would probably rate it Advanced level, 7-7.5:

Final entry

Other final entry. Away again.

Nobody can convince me this is not harder than the Intermediate song . Fret hand moves more often and I found I needed to look at the screen  to get the timing right (wrong less often) which meant moving the fret hand without looking  at the fretboard. Great exercise though.

Some improvement in Lead.

 

Gamma Ray too difficult... I keep failing on "easy" sections occasionally, which leads to low scores... not even mentioning the "difficult" sections.
So no way to get over 98% in such short timeframe...

And bass masterclass for fun of it...

 

 

GR lead (8.5-9, rather 9ish on the fast solosections)
