I'm a full-time studio guitarist in Nashville, TN. I absolutely love what I do for a living and would love to make your vision a reality. Can't wait to hear what you send me!
Nashville has its own sound which can be characterized by the art of 'the left and right pass'. I specialize in this technique/approach and track 60-75 songs a month between my home studio and various studios around Nashville. However, if you are looking for a section by section Tim Pierce approach, Phil Spector Wall-Of-Sound, or an ambient soundscape we can make that happen as well.
We will discuss your vision and goals for the project to make sure I'm serving you and the project to the best of my ability. I want you to feel good about sending your business my way and I work very hard to provide the best customer service and product possible.
I have an arsenal of vintage gear so if there is a certain sound you are after, I'm pretty sure I'll have something to track what you are hearing in your head. I can also run a DI if needed upon request in case you wanted to reamp the signal yourself.

Another great experience with Nicky. Great communication and really happy with the final output. Great blend of creativity and performance. Really easy to work with and delivered within projected timescales.

First time collaborating and it was a great experience. I gave Nicky a pretty difficult challenge and he came through with an amazing piece of work. Communication was great and the project was delivered quicker than originally communicated. Look forward to collaborating together again. Thanks Nicky!

Working with Nicky was a real pleasure. Super quick turnaround. Provided great dry and effected tones and options to use in the final mix. Effortless and got the vibe right the first time!

I like Nicky's performance and guitar sound!
I've known Nicky V for five years and have performed and recorded with him on hundreds of occasions. His playing and sounds are always custom-tailored and spot-on for the song, and he goes above and beyond to offer alternatives and options. He shines on distorted rock guitars as well as intricate acoustic songs, and delivers creative solos and solid rhythm. A rising star in the Nashville session musician scene, he's a safe bet if you want to get your song to the top level!
