I've done 4 songs now with Timmy, and what can I say, the guy is brilliant ... it was quite specialised 'preservation/re-invigoration work' I gave him but with lots of great communication he managed to improve on the original song structures to produce a really professional, epic and emotional sound for the songs. Exactly what I was hoping for! Cheers, Ian

It was an absolute delight working with Timmy - the communication was excellent and the outcome exactly what I was hoping for - no better than i was hoping for. There were lots of opportunities to comment on progress and Timmy was responsive to any suggestions. He is also a great guitarist and he worked through some difficult guitaring sections (with obscure affects pedals/units) brilliantly. He also found great vocalists and a skilled keyboardist to round out the song! I highly recommend him!

Man I can't express enough just how talented and cool this guy is. He always does more than expected and I really don't care to deal with anyone else if I don't have to. Timmy even taught me things I needed to do to fix my song and make it better. Timmy is the bomb!

Timmy was very professional and thorough. I needed my song played on guitar and a bridge idea. He sent me clean, clear and perfectly played guitar tracks. He gave me everything I needed to complete my song.

Timmy keeps on knocking it out of the park! Got great taste when it comes to guitar runs and really has a sense for what sounds good. Always delivers plenty of takes to have multiple options when mixing.

Timmy has consistently delivered guitar tracks that are right on the money with exactly the tone and style that I'm going for! Has a great sense for melody and rhythm and can throw down a memorable lick with ease.

Timmy is an amazing guitar player and was super easy to work with. Provided me with quality tracks that gave my song the country vibe that it needed. Very fast turnaround as well! Highly recommended! Will be returning with more projects.

Whoa! Timmy did a great job on my songs WAY better than I expected! The guitar parts and drums added changed the sound of it to a competitive level of pro songs. For the price and quality I wouldn't use anyone else. And it's a really big credit having played for Blake Shelton for years. So that's a pretty big no brainer to consider. I have already funded another job and anxious to hear what great job he'll do for me.
