Rockschool (RSL Awards) Electric Guitar · Grade 6
Rockschool Electric Grade 6 guitar
Performance-level playing with real interpretive freedom.
I run these as digital exams by default — recorded in the lesson and submitted to RSL — unless a student would rather sit an in-person exam, which I'm happy to arrange.
Set pieces
Tap any piece to open its own page with a play-along video, amp settings and practice tips. You'll still need the official grade book for the notation.
Books and exam booking
Everything you need for Grade 6 comes from RSL directly — the grade book with notation and backing tracks, and the exam booking itself. Most of my students book the Performance Certificate first.
