I'm specialized in a wide range of string instruments used in modern country music — from 10-string pedal steel to 4-string fiddle. If you're aiming for guitar tones in the style of Luke Combs or Lainey Wilson but don't want to book a flight to Nashville — I'm your guy!
🎸 About Me
I'm a professional guitarist based in Germany, offering authentic Nashville-style string work for both live and studio projects. I studied Pop Guitar at the University of Osnabrück, where I specialized in modern country music. Since then, I've been performing with artists like Alina Sebastian and Doug Adkins, and I lead my own heavy country band.
🪕 What I Play
My focus is on traditional and modern country instruments, including:
Electric guitars (all styles), acoustic guitar, pedal steel, banjo, mandolin, fiddle, dobro.
Whether you're going for a classic honky-tonk vibe or a more contemporary country-pop sound, I bring the tone, feel, and precision you're looking for.
🎧 Where You Can Hear Me
You can hear my work on "Eyes of the Highway" by Alina Sebastian, as well as on her latest and upcoming releases. I also write, record, and produce my own music, where all these influences come together.

Interview with David Tarakona
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Pop countryish stuff or southern rockfish stuff.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: My strongest skill? I can bend three stings at a time on guitar.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: Depends on what is needed. Sometimes I play just what's written on the sheet of music, but most of the time I'm involved in the creative process and come up with my own ideas.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I got Fender, Marshall, Vox amps and some dynamic, ribbon and condenser mics and a bunch of usable amp sims, and way too many guitar effect pedals.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: I'm a huge fan of the Nashville guitarist scene. Especially of tom Bukovac.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Recording electric guitar or pedal steel and come up with own riffs and ideas.
