plectrum or finger stroke guitar grade 8
If you are playing guitar for quite a long time and wants to incline yourself academically, you can start by getting a certificate in guitar graded exams.

But for the scales and arpeggios book, they don't have it. In my videos, I created TABS and fretboard illustrations for the scales and arpeggios. If you are doing a self-study for the exam preparation, this website information is perfect for you.
The exam will require you to play three pieces (at least two of them are from the book).
