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 Grades 6-8, 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. All pieces are printed in both tablature and standard notation so are accessible for any learner.
Note: As of April 2023, Trinity’s Acoustic Guitar 2020-2023 Syllabus will no longer operate with an end date. Therefore, Trinity’s Acoustic Guitar Exam Pieces 2020-2023 books will be valid indefinitely (subject to copyright) and any planned updates will be announced at least 12 months in advance. Trinity will be gradually amending the covers on these books upon reprint to ‘from 2020’, however there are books in circulation with the previous date range. In those cases, the change to syllabus arrangements overrides the dates printed on the cover of the book.

I already have the previous books. I bought this edition for my students looking for pieces for auditions and A Level performances.
Some great arrangements and wide variety of songs to ensure there is something for everyone.

Bought shortly after this book was released, mainly for the grade 8 material for my more advanced students. A really good selection of pieces and at 136 pages, exceptional value. One or two are questionably easy for the grade (I guess there will always be a couple of soft-touch ones). The addition of downloadable recorded backings/example tracks is a bonus, although for some reason certain pieces are missing. There are some unnecessarily long/elaborate count-ins, I feel a bar is more than enough (although there is a kind of “graphic score” icon illustrating the count-ins, which might help some folk). Overall the engraving is nice and clear, and TAB is included if required.

Excellent value for money. We’ll set out product.

Its great to see that an exam baord like trinity have reconised the fact that not everyone can/or wishes to learn music so have allowed a tab book to get graded qualification.
Great selection of pieces in this book. You also get a code to get backings from another website. But, i believe they are all sat on spotify anyway to play along to.
by David Stewart
The book is in first class condition. Not all the tunes are on the soundwise link but can be easily found on Youtube. There are several tunes for each grade. The only drawback for me is that grades 7 and 8 tend more to jazz whih is not for me but there is a lot of value in this collection.
