Tom Huergo on SoundBetter

I provide quality guitar production. I am looking forward to hearing and collaborating on your music!

With over 15 years of experience as a guitarist and producer, I've had the pleasure of working in recording studios and performing on stages worldwide. My focus is primarily on Rock, Pop, and related genres. I operate from my own professionally equipped studio, which allows me to deliver high-quality guitar tracks tailored to your musical projects.

From guitar loops and hooks, ambient pads, wall of guitars, acoustic, electric, nylon string and 12 string guitar. I provide commercial quality tracks recorded in a state of the art recording studio.
We will discuss your goals in depth and capture the sounds you are looking for on your production.

I have a vast array of amplifiers, preamplifiers, and microphones, as well as a wide selection of guitars, which I choose based on the artistic and sonic requirements of each project. We will work together until you are 100% satisfied with the result we achieve. Once we finish the project, you will receive precise, edited, and isolated final stems. I work remotely, but I guarantee very smooth communication and a fast response time.
