Are the grades difficult, i am new to this but I have been playing the guitar for a year, i'm pretty nervous.

@mexistratman1 That's one of those "how long is a piece of string" questions- if you're able to do basic open chords and melodies and have a decent sense of rhythm, Grade 1 should be about right. Grades 3-5 are music GCSE level, 6-8 count towards A-levels, although with varying grades

nice vid, but did you slow down the backing track?

For anyone that thinks grade's are hard, I will say from personal experience.. I dreaded taking my first grade, but it's no problem! Forget the nerves and play the songs you've chosen just like you do in your bedroom.

@jmguitartuition thank you

@bradgonewild - thanks! Yes, this is pretty much the standard, open position chords and single note stuff
