Creative and passion small town guitarist with big league tones. I've spent the last 15 years and hundreds of songs honing my craft on guitar, composition and recording and would love to work on your project. Rock and Metal guitar is my specialty, but I welcome all genres and projects. Let's work together and make something special!
Hello! My name is Joshua, and I am a songwriter, guitarist and studio engineer. I offer professional guitar, editing, mixing, and mastering services with the latest high quality equipment. Crafting and recording guitar solos are my specialty, which I have been developing for 15 years. As a fellow songwriter, I understand the importance that a lead or solo brings to the song: it should be well crafted, tailored to the song and improve the song, not just take up 20-30 seconds.
For guitar, I can write/record standard rhythm tracks, leads, atmospheric or otherwise. My favorite thing in the world is composing and recording rock/metal guitar solos, but I also welcome the challenge of genres! Check out my Guitar Solo reel for a feel of my style (heads up: it's kind of long, but I wanted plenty of examples for potential clients)
I am also experienced in using "unique" guitar effects such as the Whammy Pedal (Tom Morello, Muse, Buckethead) and the Talkbox (Peter Frampton, Alice In Chains)
If you are interested in having your recordings edited, mixed and mastered with professional quality in mind, don't hesitate to contact me.
For Electric Guitar Recording, I have the following available:
PRS Guitars (6,7,8 String)
Taylor Acoustic Guitars
Gibson Les Paul
Fender Strat
Diezel VH4 Amplifier, Various Marshalls
Kemper Profiler
Fractal Axe Fx 3
Digitech Whammy
Talkbox

This is my second time collaborating with Josh. He writes the music/lyrics, and I write the melody/sing. I've really enjoyed both songs I've done with him. He writes great music and really allows me to bring my own style to the song. He communicates clearly but also allows me a lot of creative freedom. He is also very professional and responds quickly. Looking forward to future projects!

Incredible Sounding!
Josh produces excellent work. I have worked with him in a live sound setting, as well as the recording studio. Professional gear and professional sound.
I've had the pleasure of working with Josh for years and he truly excels in his craft. He runs an excellent studio and is an expert at recording and finding the perfect tones for the mix. If you need guitar or mixing services, Josh is your guy!
I recorded a little over a dozen songs with Josh about a year ago. I don't know much about recording but I can tell he knows his stuff. It was a pleasure to work with him and I look forward to bringing my future projects to him!
I recently worked as session drummer for SWS and it went really great. Honest people and trustful about my skills and ideas. Really appreciated.
