Hi, I'm Marc-A Seguin.
Many guitarists, just like you, are looking for ways to learn jazz guitar online ... hoping to find effective strategies to improve their playing. If you're eager to make sense of your instrument and understand jazz better, I may have the perfect solution for you:
Guitar Lessons via Webcam!
Online guitar lessons (on Skype) are one-on-one sessions with an experienced teacher who is also a professional jazz guitarist (see the "About" section). They provide you with personalized tutoring.
Lessons on Skype target the key elements of your playing, the areas that require immediate attention, to make sure that you improve without wasting your time.
Of course, Skype lessons are available worldwide : you'll learn in the comfort of your home by teleconference (using the free Skype software) wherever you may be.
Use the chat on this page (upper right corner) to talk directly to me!
In short, jazz guitar lessons on Skype are a time-effective method for you to make progress. They can definitely help you take a big step forward in your abilities and confidence.
I am convinced that I can help you improve so you'll play jazz on a higher level in no time. I even guarantee my tutoring : You can ask for a full refund after your first lesson.
No catch. No hidden costs. You know your playing cannot get any worse if you try a lesson and ask for a refund!
"Marc is an awesome Instructor! I am a teacher myself and know the importance ofongoing lessons from a private instructor. He knows how to build from where you are to the TEE! I've been playing for 36yrs. Marc teaching's has taken me to another level of approaching music and playing music! Wow!!! Thanks Marc!"

"I came across Marc-Andre's website and found his transcriptions and video lessons to be very informative and decided to try out the 1:1 lessons over Skype. They have been great and I have been doing them roughly every week for the past few months. Marc-A is deeply knowledgeable about jazz theory as well as the practical aspects of improving your playing - ranging from rhythm work, chord-melody arrangement, and solo improvisation. He communicates very clearly and really enjoys helping you improve as a jazz musician. A pleasure to work with."

Private coaching is an essential part of your musical progress. With online guitar lessons you receive genuine one-on-one instruction with a knowledgeable jazz teacher.
Private instruction is the most time-effective way of mastering the basics of jazz guitar improvisation and accompaniment.
Why?
Because targeted, specific instruction is way more powerful than general guidelines. Unlike books or magazines, one-on-one tuition has an edge : a good private teacher takes your interests and goals into account.
A personal coach also helps you overcome "humps". If you've ever felt "stuck" and frustrated with your playing, you probably know exactly what I mean.
Together, we can break through your musical barriers by addressing them directly with clear and focused instructions. Less time wasted in a rut means significantly faster progress for you.
Learn from the comfort of your home and get all the advantages of private sessions without traveling back and forth to your music teacher.
Taking online guitar lessons with your webcam requires no traveling and that means ...more time for you. The time you save can be spent doing what you love the most : playing jazz on your guitar.
a computer with an Internet connection, a microphone, a webcam
(optional) and your guitar. Skype is
free to subscribe to and free to use worldwide, anytime. It offers the
best sound and image quality of the free teleconference
networks for online guitar lessons type of instruction."Thank you Marc-Andre for our first lesson. You are a master! Not only of the Jazz guitar and everything that goes with it but also a master teacher. I could not help notice your professionalism... with getting down to the lesson fast to your fast assessment of my needs to your appropriate reference to the material on your site, to your patient, generous, supportive manner and to your guidance towards my musical goals. You have indeed warranted my confidence that I would really like to study with you on a continuing basis. Thank you again..."

"I want to let you know how much I'm enjoying our sessions. You seem to know exactly where to go and when to change a topic. Very useful lessons and you seem very sensitive to a student's needs. Thank you for that!"

Online guitar lessons also include free pre-lesson analysis. Prior to each session, you'll be sending in an mp3 or video of your playing. I will listen carefully and take notes.
What does this mean for you?
As your teacher, I will already have practical advice to improve your playing... even before the session begins. It makes the lessons focused on your musical interests and personal needs.
In short...
With this particular attention you get remarkable teaching with time-effective and personalized practice suggestions. Obviously, improvements comes faster with a teacher that know your playing and takes your progress seriously.
I am confident that my teaching can help you. If you are not convinced after your first lesson, I offer your money back immediately.
No catch. No hidden costs. No fine prints.
You can ask for a full refund after your lesson.
It's as simple as that. It's my full refund guarantee. ...and you know that your playing won't get worse if you try a lesson and then ask for a refund!
If you ever felt inclined to contact some of my past and current students, I would gladly provide you with references. I have taught dozen of satisfied students in all corners of the world! (as you can read in the testimonials)
Online guitar lessons can be scheduled at the most convenient times for you. I don't teach like the majority of music schools (fixed-time and strict weekly bookings.)
I find that strict scheduling can sometimes prevent the maximization of your musical progress over long periods of time. The typical music school works like this :
"Enroll for lessons and you'll learn music every
Tuesday at 6PM for three months in a row."
Really ?!?
Here you can schedule your skype lesson appointments during the day, at night or even on the week-ends ...and decide on getting weekly, bi-weekly, monthly or even occasional lessons. So "strict weekly bookings" are still available with me, but not mandatory!
As you may understand, flexible scheduling means that you get your next lesson in a convenient time slot, just when you need it. It enables you to progress at your own pace and ensure a steady musical growth.
"Thank you very much for a terrific website [...] After just two lessonswith you, I feel that I have made major progress in becoming a much better guitarist, even after playing guitar for 35 years! [...]you have a great deal of knowledge to offer. You have an excellent approach that focusses on the basics which is so important! As you stated, the bigger the base of the pyramid, the higher it can be built. Thanks again and I look forward to future lessons!"

"Over a short period of 2 months, Marc has been able to give methe right tools and advice to break into the jazz world. He has [...] assisted me on my path of making sense of the 12 notes we are given. [...] Marc has been able to answer everything I have thrown at him and answers my questions with great detail. [...]"
