I had a great experience working with Shahar.
I asked Shahar to play in few songs from my EP, I imagined a different vibe to each song, and Shahar nailed it.
He is an excellent acoustic guitar player, and a very special electric guitar player- he brought my song to the next level and kept working till I got to what I’ve dreamed of.
It is very pleasant to work with Shahar, he has his own special touch and you’ll hear it in any genre.
Very very recommended!’
