I’m Alex Orel, a working guitarist, guitar teacher & guitar technician based in Fair Hill, Cork City.
I work with players to make their instruments feel & sound their best. I enjoy helping students find the music they want to play & watching their confidence grow. Performing live as a guitarist & vocalist is also a big part of my musical life.
