João has helped me out several times now and always delivers amazing solos, on time, and in a creative way. Highest recommendation.
check_circleVerifiedAnother song in the books qith Joao! He makes me feel so comfortable to ask for changes and doesn't take anything personally. This is so important to me to feel safe to say: no, yes, no, no , no, yes...you know how that goes! and he just rolls with it like a champ and keeps pulling out riffage that is creative while still keeping in mind the direction given. I am so excited to do more with him! My mixer keeps saying: this guy can play guitar!!! He's amazing!
check_circleVerifiedJoão Is great to work with, he delivered great guitar parts for my song! I will continue to work on more projects including them

check_circleVerifiedJoão Miguel did such a fantastic job with a guitar solo I needed for this track that I asked him to redo the bass and rhythm guitars as well. His expertise added the extra fire and rock n roll punch that I was looking for! João is an amazing guitarist and a true professional! I am looking forward to the next opportunity to work with him.

I had the pleasure of working with an incredible guitarist during an online session, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Not only was his playing absolutely phenomenal, but his technical skills and creative input truly elevated the session. He effortlessly captured the mood and vibe I was aiming for, adding layers of depth and emotion to the track.
Beyond his talent, he’s such a genuine and kind human being. His patience, professionalism, and positive attitude made the entire experience seamless - check_circleVerified
I’m absolutely amazed by the work Joao Miguel did on my track. I needed some shredding lead guitar and man, did he deliver the goods! I’m stoked by the tracks I have and can’t wait to get the song out for the world to hear! I would definitely work with him again! Thank you, Joao!
