Keep in mind, though, that the levels Hite outlines only constitute a sequence - he doesn't attach them to age or length of study. In fact he says in the description of Level 1 that, "Individual progress will, of course, vary greatly, and some students may find it appropriate to work in materials from different levels simultaneously."

Sequence is important but still variable from one teacher to another. It only needs to be logical. Hite's is probably as good as any (I haven't read through all of them nor looked at every book, but David Hite was a knowledgeable player and teacher). Benchmarks relating to age or length of study by contrast are, IMHO, potentially destructive and never universally applicable.
