I love working with João! He's done a brilliant job every time I've needed him. There are great guitar players out there and João is one of them. However, he's got the edge! He's very clean and precise, while being uniquely creative. He also cares about doing the job right. He pays attention to detail! AND HELL OF A NICE GUY!

João is my go-to guy for creative high-speed leads and solos! But he always manages to add such creative flare to anything he touches. Riffs and rhythms are tighter and more soulful. And he always delivers your music back to you sounding a MILLION times better than anything you could have imagined! A world-class artist and a world-class gentleman!

Once again, João is amazing. We’re working on a cover tune for my new album and he’s creating some incredible tracks. He was kind enough to do 3 different versions! I don’t know which one to pick from! I asked him to take a classic guitar solo and put his fingerprint on it. AND HE DID! He’s an incredible talent to have on the my new project! He’s not just some random shredder, rather very creative and makes intelligent music. I can’t wait for people to hear it! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

If I need any more guest solos I will definitely be contacting João again!
