SteveRootsGuitar on SoundBetter

I play old school influenced blues, country, folk and roots rock on my telecaster, Martin acoustic, lap and pedal steel guitars and vintage Fender bass. Im here to bring a wealth of experience in the world of online sessions to make your project awesome in any way I possibly can.

I'm a long time guitar teacher, performer and over the last five years or so, session player.

I started with the blues and since then my lifelong love and speciality is all forms of roots based Americana and folk.

My intention is to add to your song in the most unselfish and musical way that I possibly can. Acoustic and electric guitar are my main areas of expertise, also lap steel, pedal steel, dobro, bottleneck blues slide etc.

I can provide single tracks supplied in the format of your choice, or full arrangements around your basic guitar/piano/vocal. I also provide a basic mix so you can hear it all in context.

    So another masterfully played song. I asked Steve to use a wah wah pedal for a different sound. He nailed it.
    Off the charts good. Really just a great guitarist who somehow takes a simple idea and creates a musical
    Masterpiece.

    I asked Steve to replicate guitar parts in a song. Not only did he do that, his guitar work was phenomenal. He improved the song exponentially. Just a really talented musician that understands where a song can go….

    Once again, Steve has taken my guitar track and vocal track and turned it into a truly great song.
    He brought the song to life. He is a master of instruments.

    The work that Steve does on my songs is beyond good, beyond outstanding. I can not say enough. If you are looking for a great groove, bluesy, roots guitar, contact him. His tone is exceptional.

    If you’re looking for a bluesy, roots based sound.
    Look no further.
    This is the fourth song Steve has helped me with.
    I don’t even look to hear other musicians.
    I’m redundant in the reviews. He could not have a better sound for my music. It’s exactly what I have been looking for.

    He is your answer.
    Truly unbelievable !

    Working with Steve again was an absolute pleasure. He did an amazing job with this gritty blues-style sound, and it's clear that he has it running through his veins. The passion and skill he brings to his work are unparalleled. I couldn't be happier with the result. If you're looking for someone who truly understands and embodies the essence of blues music, Steve is the artist to go to. I highly recommend him!

    Absolute professional! I reached out to Steve for some country music, and he certainly delivered. The task wasn't an easy one, but I must say he went above and beyond my expectations. I give him a perfect 5/5 rating and highly recommend his services! Without a doubt, I'll be returning for another round of his amazing music. A true master of his craft.
