I specialize in country electric guitar, with an emphasis on tasteful parts, guitar solos, chicken pickin' licks, and great guitar tone. I do it all - from the classic Bakersfield sound, to 90โ€™s Brent Mason-style hot licks, to modern pop country, and even the "Ya'll-ternative" country/rock crossover sound (Bilmuri, Treaty Oak Revival, etc.).

    Working with Richie is always such an incredible experience! Heโ€™s always the first person that I start with in the production process because he is able to craft some of the most incredible guitar parts for each song he tackles! My music always begins to take shape AFTER Richie has had his way with it and he has never steered me wrong! Heโ€™s such a good guy, and one of the best guitarists you will ever have the chance to work with! CANโ€™T RECOMMEND ENOUGH!!!!!

    RICHIE DOES NOT DISAPPOINT haha! Hands down the best guitarist youโ€™ll find on this platform or anywhere else! I donโ€™t start a new project anymore without sending it to Richie first to set the rest of the mood, cause he just dives into each one and really gets himself immersed in it! Heโ€™s such a good guy, youโ€™ll never regret using him!

    Richie is such a GODSEND!!! He could easily be playing for any big timer you could possibly think of in sold out stadiums, thatโ€™s how good he is! Canโ€™t state enough how much we love working with him, heโ€™s just such a good guy and so easy to work with! The guy can play anything and everything at a level that is just mind boggling. If you arenโ€™t using him yet I donโ€™t know what your problem is!

    We absolutely LOVE this guy and everything he does for us! He's the best of the best and it freaking shows! There's nothing we can't throw at him that he can't tackle, and we've given him some tough projects! Trust me, Richie is the guy you need on your songs, you just don't know not yet!

    SUCH A STUD! Richie is not your average guitar player man! He knockโ€™s it out of the park every time and we just keeping coming back for more and more because we know how good he is! Almost all of our music at this point has him on it and itโ€™s just such a blast to work with him and get such incredible parts back from him!

    I could just go ON AND ON about how great Richie is! This guy can literally play ANY STYLE and make it sound just as good, if not better, as chart topping, main stream stuff you hear everyday on the radio! Just a great guy and phenomenal musician, at this point heโ€™s on everything that we produce! It just isnโ€™t the same without him! DONโ€™T PASS HIM UP heโ€™s truly a hidden gem!

    Don't know how many times I have to say it, but I'll keep saying it for as long as I need to, Richie is THAT GUY haha! I've worked with other very professional guitarists on this platform, none of them even come close to Richie's talent and expertise! It's been a total night and day difference throwing him on all of our music and it still shocks me that he isn't leading this platform, with thousands of happy reviews! I'll keep shouting it till he gets the recognition he deserves!

    Richie is the BEST, there is absolutely no debate! We count ourselves so freaking lucky to have found him and he just crushes everything that we throw his way! The man does it all and he never disappoints, truly a master at his craft, and you don't have to take my word for it! Just check him out and you'll understand just how skilled he is!

    Richie is practically UNDESCRIBABLE when it comes to his talent! It's one thing to be able to play like a pro, it's a whole other ball game when a person can also create and lay down parts that are so unique and artistic that you can't help but sit back and think "WOW". Richie is the coolest guy you'll ever work with, and at this point I don't want to work with any other guitarist! This guy is a hidden gem for sure!

    This man does it all and ALWAYS FRICKIN' DELIVERS! Absolutely love working with Richie, and just when I think he can't top what he's already done for us, he goes and blows our expectations out of the water! There's no one better on this platform or anywhere else that will give you their same skill and quality, it's just a fact! Give him a shot and you won't be dissapointed!

    Richie should be the #1 GUY that pops up for Country Guitar AND Electric Guitar on this platform, because his fingers are just absolutely INSANE! This is the 3rd time we've used him, and the 3rd time we've just been blown away at his talent! CAN NOT RECOMMEND THIS MAN ENOUGH!!!

    I canโ€™t even find the words to describe how GREAT Richie is! Seriously, this man can just rip on a Tele and you feel like youโ€™re listening to something by Brad Paisley! LOVE working with this guy! CANโ€™T RECOMMEND ENOUGH!

    Richie is an incredible musician! We brought him on a country song to help us with a real chicken-pick'n style of electric guitar and he completely destroyed the expectations we had going into it! I can't recommend him enough, and we will definitely be using him again for future projects! 10/10

Interview with Richie Worrell

  1. Q: How would you describe your style?

  2. A: I play a primarily country style of electric guitar, but with influences from all over the music landscape. As a Tele picker, my playing is of course informed by chicken pickinโ€™ greats like Brad Paisley, Brent Mason, Albert Lee, and Danny Gatton. But I also draw influence from Eric Johnson, Jeff Buckley, Edge, Andy Summers, and 90โ€™s/2000โ€™s indie/alternative. I place an emphasis on tone and atmosphere, not just shredding and chops. Most of the time - less is more, and itโ€™s all about serving the song.

  3. Q: What's your typical work process?

  4. A: I believe communication is key to doing a good job for clients. I want to understand the artistโ€™s vision thoroughly before committing anything to tape. I always ask for reference songs, and usually my process begins there. Once I feel like I have a good feel for the song, I will put the demo Iโ€™ve been given into Logic, and just spend some time jamming and digesting the song. Then, I begin slowly building layers from there, according to the artistโ€™s notes. When I feel that what Iโ€™ve contributed is elevating the song, I send a rough sample mix to the client for feedback.

  5. Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

  6. A: I have a variety of guitars and amps, but mostly I tend towards Telecasters and EL84 style amps. For amps, I have a Trinity TC15 and a Dr Z ZWreck Jr that I track with often and they work well on 95% of what I do. When I need a more classic American amp sound, I will use a Dr Z Cure which is more in line with something like a Deluxe Reverb. Often I will also use modelers such as TONEX and Quad Cortex, as well as amp plugins from Neural DSP, which makes it easy to capture raw DI guitar stems and re-amp them to find the right tone. For micโ€™ing cabs I use a trusty SM57 and sometimes I will add an additional small diaphragm condenser like a Slate ML2. My interface is a Solid State Logic SSL12. I track using Logic Pro, and monitor through a pair of Presonus Eris E5โ€™s.

  7. Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?

  8. A: I have many influences and inspirations, but from a guitar playing and production standpoint, the guys who inspire me the most to do good work when the red light comes on are studio legends like Guthrie Trapp, Brent Mason, Tom Bukovac, Steve Lukather, Larry Carlton, and many more.

  9. Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.

  10. A: The most common work I do is electric guitar tracking - specifically on Country & Americana style songs. I tend to lay down a lot of telecaster-oriented guitar sounds on songs, and I specialize in lead playing with a style similar to Brent Mason, Brad Paisley, & Pete Anderson.
