Anthill Rag - Fingerstyle for Africa

Description

The fingerstyle instrumentals within Tony Cox's extraordinary book, Fingerstyle for Africa, for the most part, require a high degree of finger-picking skill. If you have intermediate skills and you are not afraid to step into unfamiliar territory, then these tunes will stretch you beyond some boundaries you never knew existed and could enhance and transform your playing. 

There are fifteen tunes in the book and Tony has made a tutorial for each piece. The tutorials were only ever made as a once-of, live-streaming video for those who had bought the book. However, despite the limitations of streamed recordings, Tony has edited and zoomed in on pertinent sections, and the tutorials are now a clear and concise aid to learning some of the most complex of Tony Cox compositions. A further benefit is that by posting these low quality videos, the student gets to pay very little money to learn from a superb player and teacher.

Just who is Tony Cox and why should you spend time learning his techniques?

Tony Cox is considered to be one of the finest acoustic guitarists from South Africa and has won several South African music awards for his recorded work. He is a consummate live performer and has toured the world garnering great critical acclaim in the process.

In-To-Nation made in 1991 is a stunning collection of finely worked songs and tunes. Some worked into a big band sound, all with the steady pulse of Cox’s great guitar work running through each track. A collector’s item for any music/guitar aficionado.
