Need guitar parts recorded on a recording you're working on or do you need a pro guitarist for a major tour? Drop me a line. I do a lot of session work over the internet for clients world wide, recording to a Pro Tools HD system using top notch preamps, mics, boutique amps and guitars. Take a look at my list of endorsements, I'm known for my ability to get a great tone and it will sound great on your record too!
