Working on lead guitar concepts can be a fun part of any lesson, from a student and teacher perspective, and an important aspect of preparing for RGT Guitar Exams at any level.

While jamming with students in person during lessons is easy to do, sometimes finding material for them to work with between lessons can be tricky.

To help with the process of studying improvisation between guitar lessons, RGT Guitar Tutor Pete Farrugia has recently published a series of backing tracks on his YouTube channel to help students and teachers prepare for various RGT exams.

These tracks feature chord shapes and symbols on screen to aid in learning and following the progressions, and include the RGT Grade 1 Electric Guitar Exam tracks that you can see and hear below.

Since working with backing tracks is a great way to practice improvisation between lessons, helping students prepare for their RGT Exams in the process, we have collected all five of Pete’s backing tracks and linked them below so that you too can use these tracks in your teaching and studying at home.

Visit the RGT Grade 1 Electric Guitar Exam Page to learn more about the requirements needed for this exam as well as how to enter and where to purchase the accompanying RGT Grade 1 Exam Book.
