Eric Juris on SoundBetter

Session & Touring Guitarist specialized in Rock & Metal living in Germany. I’ve worked with: Warlord (Metal - USA), Crystal Viper (Heavy Metal - PL), Bangalore Choir (Hard Rock - IT/USA), Nevaria (Symphonic Metal - DE). Looking forward to working together!

I absolutely love writing guitar parts and riffs. I specialize in Rock & Metal.
Tell me as much as you can about your production. Sounds, general idea, different parts, goals, etc.

I record Guitar in my own Studio with top recording equipment. I have several different Guitars and Amps used for different styles. I can also record through a Kemper Profiler with some of the top profiles out there.

I will work with you until you're 100% happy with the recordings.
When we're done you'll get solid, edited, isolated tracks and their DIs in case you want to eventually re-amp.

I work remotely from my studio in Hanover, Germany. I speak fluent Spanish, English and German. Guaranteed fluent communication and fast delivery.

I'd love to hear about your project. Click the 'Contact' button above to get in touch.

Interview with Eric Juris

Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: Professionalism and reliability. I will stay on the job until you are completely happy with what I deliver.
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: A very good friend of mine who is a very reliable and professional guitarist. His name is Diego Pires.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Serve the song
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I have an 4x5m acoustically treated room where I record all guitars for my bands or jobs. I usually use a Kemper profiler but also have a couple of amps (Laney) that I mic up every now and then depending on what the job requires. I record and mix with Logic Pro X.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: Steve Lukather meets Kiko Loureiro after drinking a beer with Michael Romeo
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Depends but I lean towards digital only because it's way more practical. Digital sounds nowadays extremely good. It might not match an analog sound 100% but it does the job extremely well for a fraction of the cost and without having to carry pounds of stuff.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: Whatever the song needs. I don't force my style onto your music unless I'm asked to do so. If your song needs a soft acoustic rhythm guitar with some nice melody lines, you got it. If your song needs a brutal, heavy rhythm guitar and some shred, you got it.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: If you want me to write some guitar parts, the first thing I do is to listen to the music you sent me for a while. I leave it on repeat for about 30min. After that I sit down and start recording some basic ideas for each part of the song. I develop those ideas until I'm satisfied and then record the final tracks. If you want me to record something exactly as you composed it, I sit down and learn your parts until I can play them fluently without thinking, then it's time to record them.
Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: Two Albums: 1. Free Spirit Soar - Warlord (coming in 2024) It’s a huge honor for me have recorded guitars for that album. Bill Tsamis was such a monumental musician. It’s really humbling and I feel really honored to have been chosen by his former bandmates to continue his legacy. 2. Center Mass - Bangalore Choir (Live CD) Although I didn’t record the studio album here, I was part of the live album that Bangalore Choir/David Reece did. Working with David was pure joy and it opened my eyes in a lot of ways. David and I have become really good friends since. This album is really personal for me.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: I make music! What's not to like!?
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: - What are your expectations? - Can you send me any references of the sound you're looking for? - Do you want me to play in the style of a specific famous Guitarist?
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Look for active musicians that have a good track record but don't be afraid to give newcomers a chance. Most importantly, follow your gut.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: Accoustic Guitar, set of new strings, multitool, knife & lighter.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I studied Jazz Guitar & Composition in Ecuador (UDLA), Guitar Performance in LA (LACM) and Sound Engineering & Music Production in Germany (HOFA). I've been working as a Session & Touring Guitarist and Guitar Teacher/Coach for over 15 years.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Rock & Metal
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Kiko Loureiro, John Petrucci, Sting, Toto
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: When I’m not on tour, session guitar work and guitar teaching/coaching 90% of the time. I also get hired to mix every now and then.
