Compiled by the Registry of Guitar Tutors - the specialists in guitar education - this book/CD package contains all the pieces and information needed to study for the RGT Preliminary Grade exam in rock guitar playing. The book contains the tab and notation for six great sounding rock guitar instrumentals - each specially composed to suit, and help develop, the technical abilities of novice-level rock guitar players. The chords and scales on which the pieces are based are also included in the book, to make learning the pieces easier and quicker.

The accompanying CD includes performance versions of each rock piece to listen to and learn from, as well as a full-band backing track for each piece (with the guitar-part omitted) to play along to. The pieces cover a range of rock styles and are all impressive sounding rock guitar instrumentals, while having been carefully designed to be quite easy to play.
