  • Hi Guys,

    Welcome to my lesson No. 68
    In this lesson we'll discover 15 different session guitar players that were responsible for 1000s (!) of hits.
    I used many different styles, phrasing techniques and sounds to emulate their styles.


    This great package also contains 15 backings (each for every player) based in the styles of popular pop, rock & soul songs.

    Even if these songs sound very similar to the original tracks, these are NO COVERS because I changed the chords (changes), the riffs and more...

    Enjoy!
