Hi everyone,Tony&#39;s tricks used to happen online daily, going out via Facebook and YouTube around Covid days. They were fun to do but ultimately too time consuming in an already busy week. When I went &nbsp;through this series of 23 videos, I thought this would be wasted living on a hard-drive. It&#39;s not the best production but the lessons are clear and can be accessed again and again and...there&#39;s TAB!&nbsp;Hence the really low cost for what could be months if not years of work for any guitar student. And so, the lessons live on and can be accessed anytime anywhere.&nbsp;There&#39;s some blurb below but seriously if I were you, I&#39;d just get busy with it right away :-)~All the best,tony coxTony&#39;s Tricks&nbsp;In this engaging series of short videos, renowned South African guitarist, Tony Cox shares a wealth of guitar techniques, tricks, and riffs sourced from his extensive repertoire of skill and technique.

Hi everyone,
Tony's tricks used to happen online daily, going out via Facebook and YouTube around Covid days. They were fun to do but ultimately too time consuming in an already busy week. When I went through this series of 23 videos, I thought this would be wasted living on a hard-drive. It's not the best production but the lessons are clear and can be accessed again and again and...there's TAB! Hence the really low cost for what could be months if not years of work for any guitar student. And so, the lessons live on and can be accessed anytime anywhere. 
There's some blurb below but seriously if I were you, I'd just get busy with it right away :-)~
All the best,
tony cox

The fingerstyle instrumentals within Tony Cox&#39;s extraordinary book, &nbsp;Fingerstyle for Africa, for the most part, require a high degree of &nbsp;finger-picking skill.
