Guitar lessons in 4 levels

This one starts really simple, and level 2 is also still ok. Things get a bit more complicated in level 3 but then suddenly level 4 is another ... level. Can you make it till the end?
How much time does it take to make a one and a half minute video? Somehow, this one took me all day. Yesterday I came up with the idea, and this morning I made the arrangement. The first three levels were easy enough to make, but level 4 had me stumped. I tried many different keys and many different picking patterns. Finally I settled on this key and this pattern. And then I recorded it. Easy job, right? Wrong. Gremlins all over the place - electronic equipment is great when it does what it’s supposed to do, but sometimes it has a mind of its own. Anyway, when I finally had a clean take and started to edit it for the video, it turned out I messed up in my playing. That’s to say: I wasn’t playing what I had written down, but in fact I was playing something better! So back to the drawing board and start all over again: update the arrangement and have another recording session, followed by another video editing session. So here is the result: one and a half minute of video lesson that took all day to make.
