An absolute masterclass in art of guitar playing with immense touch, technique and tone.” - Nigel Foster
“Superb” - The Times | “His guitar playing is a fire hazard” - MOJO
"Aynsley is one of my favourite guitarists. He combines a natural bluesy feel with rock and even pop sensibilities; playing always for the song and with the perfect balance of melody and technical chops. - Neville Marten, Guitar Techniques”
As a tutor, Aynsley has been a long time occasional contributor to UK magazine 'Guitarist' where he's had his own column for several months at a time. He has also tutored at the IGF Summer school in Bath UK along with fellow blues guitarist Matt Schofield who did last years CRS. For the past seven years he has ran his own residential workshops in the UK along with his wife and manager Steph and they continue to prove popular with many regulars coming back year on year, flying in from all over Europe.
Aynsley taught himself to play by ear and so uses a very aural method of teaching which is both relaxed and easy to follow. Instead of teaching scales and regimented theory, Aynsleys method of teaching will take you back to the bare bones and show you how to actually play melodically and tunefully with just a few simple techniques and exercises. His workshops include plenty of hands on practical work for students to try out and work on. The primary aim is to make you a better player, whatever level you're currently at. He'll show you how to take whatever tools and skills you already have and maximise them, coming away with lots of new ideas to improve your playing.
Tony MacAlpine is widely known as a guitar virtuoso who is just as skilled on the keys. Edge of Insanity, one of his twelve solo albums, is still considered as one of the top ten shred guitar albums of all time. Aside from his solo work, Tony has also been part of several rock supergroups including Planet X with Derek Sherinian and Virgil Donati, PSMS (Portnoy/Sheehan/MacAlpine/Sherinian), as well as the Grammy nominated CAB with bassist Bunny Brunel and drummer Dennis Chambers. MacAlpine also spent seven years playing guitar and keys in Steve Vai‘s touring band.
