Trinity's new Acoustic Guitar syllabus reinvents the popular Plectrum Guitar syllabus, keeping it vital and relevant to today's guitarist by giving teachers and learners the flexibility to develop fingerstyle and plectrum playing. A selection of the best-loved pieces from the previous syllabus has been retained at every grade for continuity.
This book contains all the exam pieces for Initial to Grade 2, covering a wide range of styles at each grade -- folk, acoustic, rock and pop styles, jazz, blues, country -- allowing candidates to follow distinct stylistic pathways as they progress.
