Welcome to Rockschool Guitar Grade 8: The Pro Perspective.
This video course challenges you to be the best guitarist and musician you can be, whatever your level.
MusicGurus and Rockschool have assembled a team of top pro guitarists to teach the 6 pieces written for this grade, alongside in-depth work on the fundamental skills and clear advice on sight reading, feel, building authentic vocabulary, playing musically, practising effectively and developing your technique.
With the MusicGurus player you can loop and slow down every performance and demonstration, so you can see exactly what the pros are doing. If you're sitting a graded exam, this is ideal preparation; if you teach Rockschool, it's full of ideas to keep your lessons fresh.
Sheet music and tab are included for all pieces. The course works best alongside the Rockschool Grade Book: https://www.rslawards.com/rockschool
