check_circleVerifiedSuper working with Ben! Took my one-time sung vocal and worked it, including my mistakes. If you got a good, clean, and better vocal than mine, I'm sure he could do you a good guitar track to sing your song with.
check_circleVerifiedBen did it again. Consummate pro. A list player who really understands what it takes to get things where they need to be. Willing to go places where other do not. Thanks Ben!

Ben in a monster! The good kind. Killer all around. Fast and efficient, a total creative pro. Thanks Ben!
check_circleVerifiedBen is exactly what you would hope for with an A list country guitarist. Great guy, brings fantastic ideas to the table, easy to work with, quick, and gives you exactly what the song is asking for! Look forward to the next session.

Ben’s a fantastic guitarist with a great time feel and a super friendly vibe. He delivered two awesome, well-recorded takes right off the bat and was totally in tune with what I was looking for. Quick, professional, and easy to work with—I’ll definitely be working with him again.

Turnaround time is typically less than 2 weeks. I want you to be happy with the end result, so if the track needs any revisions, I will do my best to accommodate.
