Should I do Grades?

chris_mills · 11-08-2013, 01:28 PM

I've been playing guitar for about 3 years now and I'm at a level where I could quite easily pass the first couple of grades. I never really wanted to do them because I saw no use of them, and thought it would just take the fun out of playing guitar. Also, I have a lot of GCSE exams coming up and don't wanna add more pressure and work to my list.

Can you tell me the advantages of doing grades?
If anyone has done them before tell me how useful/not useful they have been or will be.
Any other tips? Thanks
