Great songs deserve great production and great sonic textures. If you have a song that you believe in, I’d love to help! Electric & Acoustic guitars, BGVS/Harmony/Lead Vocals, Bass, Production, whatever the song needs!
Plenty of people out there can play the guitar, and some better than me! But what I strive for is making creative and melodic parts that elevate the song. And the sound and tone of those parts is equally important. And sometimes the guitar shouldn't even SOUND like a guitar! One of my favorite things to do is turn it into a different instrument like a synth and use effects to come up with textures and ambient sounds.
I love collaborating with other musicians. We truly are greater than the sum of our parts when we collaborate. I've been lucky enough to work with some INCREDIBLY talented people in my musical journey so far. And I've learned a lot. In the studio, on the road, with my own music, with other artist's music, producing, engineering, working on music for films and commercials... it's all music to me and I'll be doing it until I can't do it no more.
Send me a message! I’d love to discuss your project and see if I can help.

I've been working with Cory on a few songs now. When I show these songs to others, the first thing they say is "Morgan, this is awesome!"

I gave Cory a minimal amount of direction and what I got back truly exceeded my expectations. The tones and parts perfectly fit what I envisioned for the song.

Cory is amazing. Great ideas and great communication. Can't wait to work with him again!
- check_circleVerified
I loved the electric guitars that Cory did on my track so much that I ended up also reaching out to him to do the bass as well. Cory nailed the part and tone - it AGAIN fit perfectly in my mix with just minor static fader adjustment. Normally I do the bass parts for my tracks but Cory’s tone sensibility and locked-in playing added so much to my song... my Fender Mustang bass might be seeing less action in the future...
5/5, will work with Cory again on future projects.
- check_circleVerified
Just finished a project in record time with Cory. He nailed it from the get go - and although he indicated he’d handle any revisions, none were needed. He followed the brief perfectly and came up with guitar parts and tones that fit effortlessly in the mix (seriously. I only needed to use static panning and static volume adjustments and they sat perfectly).
For future projects, I’ll absolutely be keeping Cory in the loop!!
- check_circleVerified

Back in the summer I gambled by choosing Cory from among the many high rated guitar players on here. Well... since then it's been my joy to bring him in on literally most of what I do.

Cory was great to work with. With very little direction, he quickly got the vibe I was looking for and delivered a series of layered tracks that gave me plenty of options to pick from. Great communication. Quick turnaround. Highly recommended. Will definitely work with him again.

I've played with Cory over the years on church gigs and various live gigs. I've also done sessions with him here at my studio for one of his records. Cory is a very creative player. I love his tones and excellent musical choices. There is a good reason why Adam Watts calls him for so many sessions. If you need guitar, bass or vocals I highly recommend Cory!
Cory is a great guitarist and producer! I've sent him sessions before with simple reference tracks and he's sent stems back that have fit perfectly with little to no editing. One of my favorite guitarists to work with!
