Make a Killer Acoustic Set List Seminar
By registering for the seminar, you help us know how many people are coming. We have only twelve seats for each seminar.
Our seminars are free. However, we request a refundable registration fee because we've discovered that, in this crazy, busy world, people are less likely to double-book or forget a commitment if they have a few dollars on the line. We will refund your registration fee when you arrive for the seminar.
If you do not attend, we will instead use your fee to cover the cost of the time and materials we invested in preparing the seminar.
