Take your music to the next level with our hand-picked team of in-house professionals
No doubt! Hiring a session 12-string acoustic guitarist can significantly enhance your music, irrespective of the genre or style you're pursuing. Given that the guitar is one of the most ubiquitous instruments in music, listeners expect to hear quality guitar work that adds depth and richness to compositions. Unlike samples or virtual instruments (like Audio Units or VSTs) which can sound artificial and lack the organic nuances of live performance, a session 12-string acoustic guitarist brings authenticity and depth to your tracks. Whether you're crafting folk ballads, indie rock anthems, or intricate fingerstyle pieces, the lush, textured sound of a 12-string acoustic guitar can give the harmony your song’s needing. Their mastery of the instrument, coupled with their keen musical sensibilities, allows our session guitarists to infuse your compositions with captivating harmonies and mesmerizing melodies. In essence, hiring a session 12-string acoustic guitarist is a surefire way to breathe life into your music and captivate your audience.

Hiring costs for session 12-string acoustic guitarists can vary widely across the industry. On the higher end, studio guitar sessions can exceed $500 per hour, while on generic freelance platforms, rates may be as low as under $50 per song. At Musiversal, we've pioneered a subscription model that promises unlimited sessions with a roster of world-class guitarists at a fixed monthly rate. This approach caters to the budgets of independent songwriters and producers while ensuring uncompromised quality and flexibility in every recording session.
At the onset of your recording session, our seasoned session guitarists are primed and prepared to bring your music to life. After introductions and a brief discussion about the song, you'll have the opportunity to provide direction and outline your preferences for the guitar recording. Typically, the guitarist will lay down one full take of the song, ensuring it aligns with your vision. Following this, you're encouraged to offer feedback and request adjustments to tailor the recording to your liking. Remarkably efficient, our session guitarists can typically deliver multiple full takes within a standardized session format, including punch-ins and overdubs.
Within 15 minutes following your remote 12-string acoustic guitar session, you'll receive high-fidelity files encompassing every recorded take. Additionally, for each take, you'll receive individual stem files captured from each microphone meticulously set up in the session guitarist's studio. These stem files, delivered in .wav format, offer you utmost flexibility and control over your recordings. Moreover, should you require assistance with tasks such as editing, mixing, or mastering your session files, rest assured that these services are readily available and included as part of the Musiversal Unlimited subscription, ensuring a seamless music production experience.
To ensure optimal results, preparation is key. Here are the three things our seasoned session guitarists need from you beforehand: track info (name, genre, BPM), an audio file (demo or backing track), and a written file (chords chart or song structure outline). You can discuss your preferences or musical directions with the guitarist before the session using our instant messaging feature. Alternatively, you can rely on the guitarist's experience to guide the recording based on what they believe the song needs.
