The TAB fingerings are suggestions only. Feel free to use different neck positions as they suit you. Please also note that ansolo featured n the full mixes are not meant to be indicative of the standard required for the grade.Guitar Grade 2 TunesRockschool tunes help you play the hit tunes you enjoy. The pieces have been written by top pop and rock composers anplayers according to style specifications drawn up by Rockschool.The tunes printed here fall into two categories. The first category can be called the contemporary mainstream and featurecurrent styles in to day s charts. The second category of pieces consists of roots styles: those classic grooves and genres whicinfluence every generation of performers.CD full mix track 1, backing track : Fake Tortoise

This a modern guitar pop track played in a brisk manner and with a bright tone. The opening melody line is played on twstrings simultaneously: one is open and the other fretted. Accurate fingering and picking will be important so that botnotes sound together. Watch also for the tied notes and the syncopations.Composer: Jason Woolley.CD full mix track 2, back ing track 9: Jet Black CamelA classic piece of early 90 s grunge played mainly in chords. This is a proper picking hand workout, so make sure that yokeep the tempo of the chords even. The demands on the fretting hand are also considerable: watch out for the dead noteschords which are fretted over the notes but which aren t sounded. The changes from chord to chord Efor example from thAsus2 to the C in bars 5-8) should also be practised until they become second nature and fluent.Composer: Hussein Boon.CD full mix track 3, backing track 10: Martha s ParkThis is a classic, riff-based blues-rock song. The opening four bar riff is repeated over the A7 chord for the following foubars and should be played with attack and control. Watch out for the dynamics in bars 9-12 which should build up so thathe last twelve bars are really driven home.Composer: Joe Bennett.CD full mix track4 backing track 11:Night BusSka had a revival in the UK in the wake of punk rock in the late 1970s and The Specials were its most famous exponentsThis song echoes that band s greatest hit, Ghost Town, in its use of atmospherics and sparse staccato chord work. The lighand shade effects are produced by the dynamics and the palm muting. This song would benefit from the use of an echpedal or similar effects unit.Composer: John Murphy

Co o er: Jaso oolley.CD ullm x track 6 back ing track 13: Glitter Ballz

The last song n the set of six is a homage to 70s Glam Rock and Marc Bolan n particular. This song begins ith far--trademark stabbed double stop chords, reminiscent of Get it On: The opening riff relies on picking hand accurac; onl.- csfor the most part the theme is played on open strings (although watch out for the end of riff descents n bars 2 and 1). T..:1remainder of the song continues in similar vein: watch for the dynamics and the palm muting. The final chord shoul eplayed loudly and boldly.Composer: Deirdre Cartwright.CD Musicians:Guitars: Deirdre Cartwright; Hussein BoonBass: Henry ThomasDrums: Noam Lederman; Peter HuntingtonKeyboards and programming: Alastair GavinGuitar Grade 2 Marking SchemesThe table below shows the marking scheme for the Guitar Grade 2 exam.
