lntroduction This book is the first in a progressive series of ten handbooks designed for rock guitarists who wish to develop their playing and obtain a qualification. Although the primary intention of these handbooks is to prepare candidates for the Regisiry Of Guitar Tutors (RGT) rock guitar exams, the series provides a comprefrensiv-e structure that will help develop the abilities of any guitarist interested in rock music, whether or not intending to take an exam. Those preparing for an exam should use this handbook in conjunction with the Syllabus for Rock Guitar Playing and the Rock Guitar Exam Information Booklet both freely downloadable from the RGT website: www.RGT.org Exam Outline For the lnitial Stage exam, candidates are required to perform T\VO pieces of music. This book provides the notation for six specially-composed rock guitar pieces; the pieces are divided into two groups - Group A and Group B - and candidates should choose one piece from each groap to perform in the exam. The pieces should be performed along to the backing tracks provided on the accompanying CD. The CD also includes a demonstration track of each piece for candidates to listen to and practise with prior to the exam.

A maximum of 5O marks may be achieved for the performance of each piece. To pass the exam candidates need a total of 65 marks. Candidates achieving 75 marks will be awarded a Merit certificate, or a Distinction certificate for 85 marks or above. Exam Entry

An exam entry form is provided at the rear of this handbook. This is the only valid entry form for the RGT rock guitar playing exams.

Please note that if the entry form is detached and lost, it will not be replaced under any circumstances and the candidate will be required to obtain a replacement

handbook to obtain another entry form.

The entry form includes a unique entry code to enable online entry via the RGT webs i te vrrurw. RGT. org Tuning

Notation

'-

Within this handbooK three formats of notation are used: traditional notation, tablature and fretboxes - thereby ensuring that there is no doubt as to how to play the musical requirements. Each of these methods of notation is explained below.

Traditional Notation: Each line, and space between lines, represents a different note. Leger lines are used to extend the stave. For scales, string and fret numbers are printed below the notation: fret-hand fingering is shown with the numbers I 2 3 4, with o indicating an open string; string numbers are shown in a circle.

This example shows a oneoctave A natural minor scale.

,P (U

Tablature: Horizontal lines represent the strings (with the top line being the high E string). The numbers on the string lines refer to the frets. O on a line means play that string open (unfretted). E

B

This example means play at the second fret on the third string.

G

D

A E

Fretboxes: Vertical lines represent the strings - with the line furthest to the right representing the high E string. Horizontal lines represent the frets. The numbers on the lines show the recommended fingering. I represents the index finger, 2 = the long middle finget, 3 = the ring finger, 4 = the little finger. The example below means play with the second finger at the second fret on the G string.

EADGBE lf a 0 aPPears above a string line, this indicates that the open string should be played. lf, in a chord fretbo>
