Matthew Burhans

Session Guitarist

Matthew Burhans on SoundBetter

Dedicated, hard-working Nashville guitarist who is frequently hired both on the road and in the studio. Despite having never heard of me, you've likely heard of some of the artists I've had the privilege of working with. I look forward to hearing your music and helping bring your project to life!

I'm a full-time guitarist based in Nashville, TN. Over the last several years, I've toured with artists such as Hailey Whitters, Travis Denning, Tenille Arts, Cassadee Pope, Tanner Adell, Runaway June, and many others. While I'm on the road consistently, my true passion is home overdubs and remote tracking. I've played on tracks for artists such as Karley Scott Collins, Danae Hays, Carter Lybrand, Ashley Anne, and more. I consider myself a "song server," in that I listen carefully to each track I'm sent and follow any instructions the producer or artist gives me. At the end of the day, I will ALWAYS give you professional, high-quality tracks that create the end product you deserve. I'm not happy until YOU'RE happy!

I record and engineer in Pro Tools. When tracking electric guitar, I have a wide variety of new and vintage guitars, amps, and pedals at my disposal (some gear highlights are listed below). I gravitate towards real tube amps and typically run them into my Two Notes Torpedo Live loadbox; however, I do have a Fractal FM3, as well, which is loaded with some of the best third-party IR's on the market. When tracking acoustic guitars, I mainly use a Neumann KM184, aimed about a foot away from the neck joint. For interfaces, I have an Apollo Twin X and use a variety of in the box plugins. At the end of the project, you will receive a Dropbox of clean, edited stems.
