Tuition
Aynsley is now taking on a limited number of students for private guitar tuition.
As well as being a regular contributor to Guitarist Magazine and Guitar Techniques, Aynsley has been a tutor for two years running at the IGF Summer Guitar Workshop (International Guitar Foundation). He uses a strictly aural method of teaching and to benefit fully, students need to be of an intermediate to advanced level. A knowledge of theory is not required but not a problem if you do know this.
Lessons are based in Leicester and below is a very brief summary of the areas covered. For more details and available time slots, please email .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
