Ben Klick on SoundBetter

Guitar slinger who fuses modern country with a traditional twist. Known for melodic, rhythmic acoustic and electric guitar parts, Ben Klick has recorded 2 studio albums in Nashville, numerous demos, scratch guide recordings for other projects, and been playing for over 20 years.

Acoustic or electric guitar tracks, banjo, session editing, and songwriting are all a part of what I do. I’ve had the pleasure of learning from and working alongside of some of the US and Canada’s top musicians, songwriters, and producers to create 2 EP’s, play on a number of songs released to radio, demo pitches, and more.

I specialize in country music, but have influences in Rock, Classic Rock, Folk, Blues, and more.

Reach out anytime with questions, and I’d be happy to chat about how to take your project to the next level. Looking forward to working with you!

    Ben did a great job, he communicates very well and went above my expectations by providing me with a chord sheet and drone tracks. The recording quality was very good. Would defiantly recommend Ben for guitar work.

    This time we did a song leaning towards the Americana genre and once again Ben applied his tremendous musical skills and artistry as a performer and arranger to bring my song to life. I’m thrilled with the way it turned out and the entire experience was perfect from start to finish. I look forward to working with Ben again soon and I highly recommend him for your next project!

    Working with Ben is always a pleasure! He’s done extensive guitar work on three of my songs so far and each one was completed beautifully with an individual approach and attention to detail. Ben is a creative and skillful artist and it’s evident in every aspect of his work. I look forward to our next project together and I highly recommend him for yours!

    Ben is absolutely amazing to work with! I send him an original piano/vocal country song and needed a pitch ready guitar version. He delivered a top notch performance that far exceeded anything I could have imagined. Ben’s musical choices in his performance, instrumentation and production are outstanding and demonstrate a highly professional taste and technique. He has my highest recommendation and I’m excited to work with him again soon!!

    This was my first time working with Ben and definitely not my last… he is an outstanding artist with tremendous musical instincts and ability! He transformed my country song into something I can pitch to publishers with confidence. An exceptional guitar/mandolin player and arranger, Ben can take your song to the highest level. He’s very professional and a great communicator- I’m so glad I choose him for my project and he has my highest recommendation!! Can’t wait to work with Ben again
