Ivano Icardi on SoundBetter

As an experienced guitarist, I excel in providing top-tier guitar production services. I'm thrilled at the opportunity to listen to your music and collaborate with you! Let's work together to create something truly exceptional.

Professional on-demand guitarist based in Italy, owner of the renowned Skyline Studio.

Over the past 25 years I have had the great fortune to collaborate as a guitarist or producer on a wide variety of musical projects spanning diverse genres.

I enjoy playing layers of pop and rock guitars, short but intense loops, atmospheric ambient guitars, and jazz guitars. I also greatly enjoy playing acoustic and classical guitars, as well as 12-string guitars.

In my recording studio, you'll find top-of-the-line equipment such as Neve, Neumann, SSL, Antelope, and the finest guitar amplifiers like Bogner, Fender, Egnater. Additionally, I am an endorser for the prestigious Suhr guitars, but I have a variety of instruments available (Fender, Martin, Taylor, Gibson, Parker...).

I will be at your disposal until you are 100% satisfied and I will always send you the guitar track with the tone you prefer, as well as the DI so that you can reamp it.

Price: Various pricing options for guitar tracks for full songs are listed on my page. The price for a complete instrumental production includes 3 to 10 guitar tracks, double-panned left and right acoustic, ambient pads, wall sounds, riffs, solos, and ear candies. For shorter segments such as solos or loops, please contact me for pricing.

I can't wait to make great music together!
