If I was taking up or wanting to add fingerstyle guitar to my techniques I would seek out private lessons from or attend Jim McLennan’s clinic/workshops. He plays that stuff great and has a rep of being a fine teacher
–Amos Garrett
Jim McLennan’s reputation as a fingerstyle guitarist, composer and arranger has produced an enduring legacy as one of Alberta’s finest guitarists. He recorded for Stefan Grossman’s iconic Kicking Mule record label in the 1970s, and has been featured in Guitar Player magazine.
Upon its release, Jim’s solo guitar CD, Six-String Gumbo, was a Western Canadian Music Award finalist for Instrumental Recording of the Year.
His solo performances are primarily instrumental and definitely “guitar-centric,” of particular interest to players and lovers of the “wood and wire.” He plays original instrumental pieces, and his arrangements of tunes from sources ranging from the Beatles to Marvin Gaye.To check out his music, visit “Jim McLennan One Tune Concerts” on Youtube
