Can you follow a guitar part I've already written?

Absolutely. A guide recording, chord chart, tab or notation can all help. I'm also happy to suggest another approach if you'd like ideas.

Do I need a finished song before I get in touch?

Not necessarily. A demo or rough mix is usually enough to discuss ideas. If the arrangement is still changing, we'll work out what's ready to record and what makes sense to leave until later.

Normally, separate WAV files for the agreed parts, lined up so they're easy to import into your session. If you need a particular format, a dry guitar signal for reamping or anything else specific, mention it when you enquire so we can include it in the quote.

How quickly can you record something?

It depends on the job and what else I've got booked. Tell me your deadline and I'll let you know what's realistic.

Can we make changes after I've heard it?

For remote recording, I normally include up to three rounds of reasonable changes within the original brief. If we decide to take the track in a substantially different direction or add new parts, we'll agree on any extra cost first.

Can you record at my studio?

Yes, anywhere in Victoria if the dates and travel work. In-studio work is quoted separately from remote recording.

Session guitar recording

I'm a Melbourne-based session guitarist, recording electric and acoustic guitar for artists and other music projects. Whether you're after a solo, a solid rhythm part or guitars across an entire song, I'm happy to work from your ideas or write parts around what you've already got.

I record remotely for people across Australia and overseas, with the files delivered digitally. I'm also available for in-studio sessions across Melbourne and Victoria by arrangement.

Custom guitar solos — from $95 AUD

A lead part written and recorded for your track. It might be melodic and understated, fast and technical, or somewhere in between. Send me the section, the sound you're after and any references you've got.

Studio sessions in Victoria — quoted individually

I'm available for studio sessions across Victoria. Send the location, date, likely session length and what you need. I'll quote for playing time, preparation and travel, with extra expenses agreed beforehand. Studio hire and engineering are arranged separately unless we agree otherwise.

Rhythm guitar parts — from $120 AUD

Electric or acoustic rhythm guitars to fit your song. I can follow an existing part, work from a chord progression or help figure out an approach. Double-tracking and additional layers can be discussed as part of the brief.

Guitar for different kinds of music

A lot of my playing has grown out of rock and metal, especially expressive lead guitar and improvisation, but my interests go well beyond that. I'm just as interested in a clean acoustic part or a small melody that sits in the right place. If you've got a reference in mind, send it through.

Full guitar arrangements — from $225 AUD

Guitar parts developed across your song, whether that needs rhythm layers, melodic lines, harmonies, leads or a combination. We'll work out what the track needs before I start recording.
