You want to play guitar.
Excellent. My name is AL Seger. I have over 20 years experience
playing guitar and bass, teaching, songwriting, arranging and
recording. Let me be your guitar coach. If you have an interest in
writing and recording your own music, you will be happy to know
that classes are held in a recording studio environment. I will
teach you the ins and outs of playing, writing and recording.

songs by ear

effectively
How to stay focused
How to write songs
How to improvise

different ways of approaching and understanding music.
My goal is to motivate
students by teaching them to play music they like as quickly as
possible. Early success is a great motivator. It is my intention
to provide a superior learning environment where that can happen.

make it fun to learn.
