How do you differentiate between Beginner and Intermediate
lessons? I've been looking for more advanced lessons & tabs,
but some of the "intermediate" tabs I've come across are
far from it. I came across Bluegrassguitar.com hoping to find
some lessons that'll turn me into player capable of rivaling
Johnny Hiland (), and after installing their tab-viewing browser
plugin (sheesh), I see that even the "Intermediate" tablature
doesn't even seem worth it to learn.

Tablature - The Bluegrass Guitar Home Page

If you look at the tabs (after installing the plugin), it's hard
to see the difference between the tabs labeled I (intermediate)
and the tabs labeled B (Beginner).

//edit:

Oh, and I'm not trying to come off as some amazing guitar
player that's beyond every lesson he comes across. I'm far
from it. Hope it didn't come across like that.

I kinda get what your saying and i'm no stellar performer either, but some of the "beginner" songs just aren't worth it. They have been so "dumbed" down you actually have to relearn it when you come across the real deal. And oh it's certainly harder to be sure and takes alot longer in practice, but I get much more satisfaction taking a few months to learn something harder then a few days to get something down that's considered beginner. These days i've gotten a bit away from trying to play specific songs and involved myself more in techniques and running scales to my metronome. I've also been talking to a music teacher at work and plan on taking some music lessons over the summer. The biggest problem I have (or at least what bugs me the most) is I can hear something, find it on my fret board pretty quick, but more often times then not I don't have a clue what it is. Not sure if this helps you much. Alot of people approach this in different manners.
