Welcome to daveseck.com, the official site for guitarist and composer Dave Seck. Here you can browse audio and video of Dave’s works and arrangements, purchase and download sheet-music and audio recordings, and keep up to date with forthcoming performances and releases. After taking up the nylon-string acoustic guitar at an early age, Dave Seck is today one of England’s rising young finger-style guitarists. Graduating from City University in 2004 after reading music, he has since been making a name for himself in his adopted home-town of Oxford as a classical guitarist, composer, songwriter and teacher. Influences and inspirations include the guitarist John Williams, popular cross-over duo Rodrigo y Gabriela, composer Bill Whelan (to name a few), and Dave’s playing style ranges from classical to Spanish to blues to jazz to folk. In 2010, Dave has played at many gigs, open-mic nights, weddings and functions, bringing his eclectic repertoire to a variety of warm, receptive audiences. As well as his own compositions - all highly melodic and accessible - Dave plays many of his own arrangements of well-known classics, pop, rock, movie themes etc. These arrangements have proved popular when Dave entertains the people and tourists of Oxford, busking regularly in the town’s central streets. Dave’s favourite place to perform is Oxford’s legendary Catweazle Club, where he can be seen most weeks. We hope you enjoy the music on this site. As well as the exclusively guitar-based works, there are a whole range of Dave’s other original pieces, songs, and soundtracks to check out. Guitarists can easily purchase and download sheet-music (and tabs) of the original compositions from the guitar music page, and the pieces can be listened to for free. For information on tuition with Dave or for performance bookings/queries, please see the contact page. Dave Seck co-runs Boog Studios in Oxford with sound-engineer and producer Oli Whitworth (more information here), and works as a session guitarist and bassist with group LAZARE and British pop sensation David Simon. Special thanks go to Jo Simmonds for her years of inspiration and patient coaching, to Fabien for all his invaluable assistance designing and building the site, and to Dave’s close family for all their help and support over the years.
