West African Guitar - with member Alex Mackenzie:
"I’m excited to share my passion for West African Guitar! I’ve studied the styles of legends like Ali Farka Touré and Tinariwen, with a focus on Mali’s rich traditions.
Join my group classes to explore simple yet powerful guitar rhythms. Just bring your tuned guitar—no perfection needed. We’ll dive into alternate tunings, so be ready to train your ear! This class suits those with some experience; beginners might find it a bit challenging."
Each 60-minute session accommodates up to 12 participants. If you’d like a 1:1 introductory lesson before joining, feel free to reach out on [email protected]
