Roy Ben Bashat- Pop guitarist, composer and songwriter. Alumni of Berklee College of music (with full tuition scholarship). Currently living and working in NYC.

Hey y'all!
It would be my honor and pleasure to work with any one of you and help YOU shape your vision!
You can read a little bit about me in the short pitch I wrote above and hear my playing in the demo I added to my profile.

Even though I have my specialties, I am open to any genre or style you are envisioning! I can improvise Jazz/ Blues/ Rock. I can play rhythm guitar, create textures and ambiance, or play more fixed and complex parts. Really- ANYTHING!

The biggest thing about my work- I NEVER compromise. For me, there is no one or two revisions- we will work on the track until you are 100% satisfied.

I have excellent different mics for acoustic/ classical and electric guitar. I got all the gear necessary to create the perfect guitar part for your need.
SUPER HIGH QUALITY GEAR!
Also I have well treated acoustic space, where the track will be clean and dry.

Message me and let's talk about what you need and how I can help you! Tell me about yourself and what you are looking for. I will respond at the same day, communication is very important to me.

All the best! Hope to hear from you.
Roy

    Roy is a world-class guitarist and versatile in various genres. His sound is warm, and I highly recommend him to make your tracks stand out from the crowd. I had some comments after the first draft, and Roy picked up fast, and the outcome is perfect.
    I'm looking forward to the next one - an outstanding experience!

    Roy is a terrific guitarist whose work on my project was excellent. I asked Roy to provide both the melody and a solo for my jazz tune. When I got his tracks back, I was (and still am) so impressed with the result. Not only is his performance brilliant and masterful, I can tell that he put his heart and soul into it. He and I communicated very well with each other, and I can easily recommend Roy to anyone who needs a versatile, pro guitarist.

    I produced a few arrangements of mine for rhythm section, strings and vocals.
    Roy played nylon string guitar in all the arrangements and did a wonderful job.
    The part was very complex and Roy played it perfectly and was very accurate. The sound was great too and it sat really well with the rest of the band and the mix.
    Really recommended!

    I worked with Roy on my remote big band project. He understood the music, chart and his roles in the band then did completely amazing job as the part of rhythm section. I like his how to structs and leads the harmony and comping time feel so much.

    I'm also sure he has great techniques and variety of musical words as a soloist, arranger and composer from the public opinion and my thought based on his other works.

    At last, He has good quality of recording equipments, I got an audio file on time with correct audio format.
    I strongly recommend Roy for your new music project!
