Fernando Martinez on SoundBetter

If you're looking for a guitarist, you've come to the right place because I love playing guitar and helping others. I can play arpeggios, strums, accompaniments, and ornaments, and everything is recorded in the highest quality.

My name is Fernando Martinez and I have 15 years of experience playing guitar in studio and concerts.the main genres I play are pop, rock, R&B, among others. The guitar is an instrument that undoubtedly gives life to any song. Every time I record something for someone or compose, I try to make the sound of the guitar have a set with the other elements of the song so that everything works well. And I know when it's a good idea to add an arpeggio, a strum, or just some notes. So, don't hesitate to contact me if you want a guitarist who cares about your needs.

Send me an email through 'Contact' button above and I'll get back to you asap.

  34. A: The guitar is really an instrument that gives life to a song.

But if it is a musical bridge, I contribute everything that enhances the song through the strings. realmente la guitarra es un instrumento que le da vida a una cancion simpre intento aportar lo adecuado por que si me exedo en arreglos la cancion se desvia de la verdadera intencion del principal elemnto que es la voz pero si se trata de un puente musical aporto todo lo que le de realce a la cancion mediante las cuerdas

  42. A: I usually make rhythm guitar recordings, and people also ask me for arpeggios for their songs since I have a knack for making arpeggios. They also ask me for guitar solos, whether on electric or acoustic guitar. They always ask me for fresh sounds that can fit with their recording track, but they also send me demos in a simple guitar version, and I make better arrangements for their song when it's just guitar and vocals. Suelo grabar guitarra rítmica, y la gente también me pide arpegios para sus canciones, ya que tengo un don para ello. También me piden solos de guitarra, ya sea eléctrica o acústica. Siempre me piden sonidos nuevos que encajen con su pista de grabación, pero también me envían demos en una versión sencilla de guitarra, y hago mejores arreglos para su canción cuando solo es guitarra y voz.
