ONLINE BASS LESSONS with Seth Horan

WHY STUDY WITH SETH?

Playing the bass guitar is hard enough. Singing at the same time is another trick entirely -- and yet Seth Horan manages to do that during every song, usually with no other instruments accompanying him.  Says the Ocean City Beachcomber: “He plays solo bass guitar like Victor Wooten, sings songs like John Mayer and Ani DiFranco, and performs with the intensity of Martin Sexton. Hes a freak of nature, and he’s phenomenal.”

He left RCA band Vertical Horizon in 1998, right on the brink of that band’s multi-platinum success, and decided to play his songs alone on his bass rather than pick up the traditional six-string acoustic guitar hailed as the universal standard for songwriters.  Horan toured the USA non-stop through 2005, then toured around the world from 2006 through 2008 as the international masterclass clinician for Warwick Bass Guitars.  He received the Nevada Arts Council Fellowship Endowment Grant in 2007 for excellence in performance and composition, and has been featured in Bassics Magazine, Bass Frontiers Magazine, and interviewed for Bass Musician Magazine. He started his private teaching practice in 2005, and in the summer of 2011, co-founded the "I'm In The Band" Summer Institute - a summer 'rock camp' experience offered through the Rochester Contemporary School of Music.

Seth has been playing in just about every situation imaginable for over 25 years now; and with that knowledge, he has been able to help a great many students on their way to reaching their goals. He has taught teenagers who just want to play Green Day songs on the weekends, hobbyists who want to be able to sit in on local blues jams, intermediate players who want to start using advanced techniques for complicated music or who want to improve their music-reading ability, and advanced players who are preparing for college, professional auditions, and tours.
