Black Metal Session Guitar

In the gloaming months of 2015, amidst the grip of a frost-bitten winter, I performed a blizzard of guitar parts for Andrew Lavender, who is a very talented producer and multi-instrumentalist from the UK. What Andy wrote for the bridge and chorus of this song was great fun to play, with it's dramatic chord inversions, fast-strumming, and jangling dissonances.

Check out my guitar contributions in the sample below:

Perhaps you've written some awesome guitar riffage for your own music, but you're having a difficult time recording some sections? If so, feel free to get in touch to discuss receiving guitar tuition from me, or whether you would like me to record those tricky parts as a session musician for your project.

You can hear more of my guitar playing and see some of my tuition materials on the transcription page.

Hi, Jon Phipps here!

I am a composer and guitarist, who works as a virtual orchestrator for metal bands from around the world.

Recent bands who's music I have orchestrated include Amorphis (Finland), Moonspell (Portugal), and Angra (Brazil). These albums were produced by Jens Bogren (Fascination Street Studios, Sweden).

As well as this, I produce library tracks for the Alibi Music Library (New York), and digitally transcribe audio and hand-written manuscripts for a variety of clients into Sibelius and Guitar Pro.

In the past, I have worked extensively as a guitar teacher, and have played guitar in several bands, including Reciprocal (UK), Divine Disorder (Kuwait), Sectioned (Hungary/USA/UK), The Kuru Smile (UK), and Korvus (UK).
