João is an absolutely fantastic session guitarist and a real pleasure to work with. His playing is incredibly musical, tasteful, and professional, and he really understands how to serve the song rather than simply play over it. The quality of his recordings is excellent, and you can immediately hear the experience and attention to detail he brings to his work.
He was also very easy to communicate with, responsive, and genuinely committed to making sure I was happy with the final result.
