Pro session guitarist & producer: 20+ released records, music for TV and parts that make your song shine. State-certified musician from Germany delivering mix-ready electric & acoustic guitars, arrangements and full productions, recorded remotely.
I’m Henning, a German session guitarist, producer and mixing engineer with two decades of professional experience. As a state-certified professional musician based in Freiburg, I’ve played on and produced 20+ released records and written music for TV formats, including work connected to ARTE. I record polished, mix-ready guitar parts and take songs from rough demo to finished production.
Guitar is at the centre of everything I do. Recording 320+ videos for a classical guitar maker taught me how to capture an instrument so it sounds natural and alive. I also took a guitar-building course, so I know my instruments down to the wood. As a writer for Professional Audio magazine since 2013 and a longtime teacher, I can talk tech or keep it simple.
