The best session guitarists you'll ever work with

Whether you need soulful acoustic strumming, blistering electric solos, or intricate fingerstyle passages, a skilled guitarist can bring your compositions to life with flair and finesse. With their versatility and expertise, session guitarists can adapt to your musical vision, adding depth, texture, emotion and often delightful surprises to your tracks. Whether you're producing pop, rock, jazz, blues, country, or any other genre, a session guitarist can provide the perfect sonic backdrop for your songs, enhancing their impact and appeal.

Hiring costs for session guitarists can vary depending on factors such as experience, expertise, and geographic location. In traditional studio settings, rates can range from $50 to $250 or more per hour, with additional fees for studio rental and production services. However, with Musiversal's subscription model, you gain access to highly talented session guitarists at a fixed monthly rate, providing exceptional value and flexibility for your music production needs.

Before the session, you'll have the opportunity to share your music, reference tracks, and instructions, allowing the session guitarist to familiarize themselves with your musical vision. At the beginning of your remote guitar recording session, you’ll join the session musician over livestream and have the chance to discuss your creative goals, preferences, and any specific ideas you have in mind for the guitar parts. Then, once the recording begins, our guitarist will typically start by laying down a full first take. Throughout the session, you'll have the opportunity to provide feedback and direction, ensuring that the final recordings meet your expectations and bring your musical vision to life. You can expect at least 3 full takes on a song in our standard 35 minute session format.

Following your remote guitar recording session, you'll receive high-quality audio files containing all recorded takes, as well as individual stem files captured from each microphone and DI used in the session. These files, delivered in .wav format, provide you with the flexibility to mix, edit, and customize the guitar tracks to suit your specific needs. Additionally, if you require any further assistance with tasks such as comping, tuning, or editing, our team is available to provide professional support and guidance as part of the Musiversal Unlimited subscription.

To ensure a successful remote guitar session, it's helpful to prepare your project materials in advance. Start by providing detailed information about your song, including the title, genre, tempo, and key. If you have a demo or backing track, be sure to share it with the guitarist, as it will serve as a reference during the recording process. Additionally, consider providing any written instructions or musical notation that may help convey your creative vision. With clear communication and thorough preparation, you can maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of your remote guitar recording session.
