Michael Spriggs on SoundBetter

A 53 year Studio Veteran Nashville A-String Acoustic session Guitarist. Played on over 600 albums as listed on Allmusic.com since my pro-session debut in 1976 with Eddie Rabbitt (Eddie's first four albums). Still continuously working for many current Nashville Country, Pop, Country Rock, Rock, Indie & Christian Writers/Artists/Producers/Labels.

I specialize in all forms of acoustic guitar from Contemporary Modern Country to Power Classic Rock, World Music and NewAge. Anything from the Everly Brothers to Michael Hedges and between. I play a myriad of guitar types being a stacked part doubling or tripling specialist including stereo mic'd and direct effected guitars simultaneously. I regularly play a minimum of two or three parts per song in different inversions for spread and depth as usually required in my work arena. I have over 120 instruments in my collection rotated as needed per project requirement. Session minimum for my work would be these standard ac's (Your feel and need dependent), "Power Guitars" Gibson, Guild, Alvarez, Martin,Taylor, Alvarez CY Nylon String, Alvarez Baritone Nylon (Down 1 step) Alvarez YB-1 Baritones (Down 1 Step and another True B-B) Nashville High Third, Taylor/Martin Standard 12 String, Taylor Custom 9 String, Alvarez Custom 9 String, Viellette Custom A-A/B-B Tenor's 6&12 String, Phil Crump true Irish Bouzouki's Standard and Octave chorals. I've had a full blown/maintained custom studio in my home since 1982 doing thousands of overdubs here. I use Daking, TLA, DBX, Warm Audio, Drawmer mic pre's etc. with pristine Sanken, Neuman, AKG, Peluso & Warm Audio mics. British Built Custom 32 Ch. Analog Allen & Heath GS3000 console into Digital Performer 11 24/48 WAV's locked to your project.

As a Songwriter/Producer/Publisher, I've used Michael Spriggs on roughly 2000 recordings. Nashville has a few guitar players for me to choose from, and Michael has been my first-call, session acoustic guitar player, for well over 20 years. In a live studio session, he's always my session leader because of his diligence regarding the nuance of every chord, every movement, every dynamic change no matter how quirky. The other players listen to Spriggs, because he listened to me. That's important. He has a collection of acoustic guitars for every tone and color. Hire the best, I do.

You'll need to send me a work demo with absolute Key and BPM. I'll chart it & record two original parts and send you an MP3 ruff mix. If we're good I'll send you the 24/48 Wav's after payment:)
