Tony Cox's Acoustic Guitar Workshops

Tony Cox’s acoustic guitar workshops are an absolute must for all those who love playing and learning about the guitar. Hosted by one of South Africa’s greatest acoustic guitar players, students can expect to take away an array of new information and playing techniques that will keep them busy and inspired for months after.

All levels, beginner to advanced, are welcome, so do not think you cannot join because you only know 2 chords. No matter the level, you will leave these workshops with plenty of material to advance your playing skills.

Known far and wide for his 6-string prowess, Tony will be guiding students through at least one entire tune plus a whole host of subjects covering the wide and fascinating genre of acoustic guitar playing and music in general.

Come and have some musical fun, meet a few other like-minded folks and learn a whole bunch of stuff at the same time!

Space is limited to 20 people so it is advised to book your place early.
