Session Guitarist and Composer

I’m an award-winning guitarist and composer with a love for the nuanced craft of recording. I deliver thoughtfully arranged, high-quality guitar tracks for your album or next single, with the goal of supporting and complementing your vision without ever getting in the way.

Hi, I'm Harry Bartlett.

I've had the privilege of playing alongside Bela Fleck, Tray Wellington, Chris Eldridge, Gary Nichols, among many others; I've worked with producers such as John Mailander, Dan Hannon, and BÆRD; and I've recorded remote guitar tracks for countless artists out of my studio in Nashville, TN.

I’ve always been drawn to a wide musical palette. My formal studies are in jazz (University of Toronto; School for Improvised Music, NYC) and my roots are in bluegrass and folk music (including mentorship with Jordan Tice and an award from the West Virginia Department of Arts, Culture, and History). Equally at home on electric and acoustic guitar, my work as a session musician spans Indie, Rock, Folk, Singer Songwriter, Jazz, Bluegrass, and Chamber Music.

I'm also a solo artist, and reviewers have described my music as being “presented with a delicacy combining classical, string band and jazz elements” (The Whole Note) and “thoughtful, impressionistic, and cinematic” (LA Jazz Scene). My experience as a composer inform my guitar tracks in that I see every note as an opportunity to serve the song.
