Looking for guitarist to record 7 tunes that is WELL VERSED in improvisation, psychedelia, and use of wah-wah pedals

Ok so here’s the deal. I have 7 tunes (an album I’m doing) that I need guitar on. But I don’t need just any guitarist. I need someone who can solo/improv like Hendrix (or better yet, 1960s Jerry Garcia), but use a wah-wah pedal like Craig McMullen (Curtis Mayfields guitarist in the early 70s, look him up). So to be a little more in-depth, I need someone who can use the guitar to make SOUNDS, not just notes (and Im not strictly talking about feedback either, Im si ... mply saying someone who can do all sorts of tricks with the guitar - I can provide examples but airgigs only let me upload 2 files). I also realize a ton of you can, and do, play a wah pedal, but again, Im looking for a cat with a distinct style (I did attach an example to this ad). Before I decide on someone, I need ACTUAL EXAMPLES of your playing that show me you know what Im talking about here (audio of you doing such things, or at least similar stuff to what Im referring to here). Also of utmost importance is being able to learn melodies by ear (more on that below). Id also need this project done within a week (tops). So having said all that, here’s more about it

So the music itself is what I like to refer to as “psychedelic jazz”, its all instrumental and very “groove based” with all the songs in one key and very little chord changes (all of this is on purpose as to create a “drony” hypnotic type of groove that you, the soloist, makes more interesting by doing your thing over top of it). I have attached one of the tunes you’d be recording on to this ad for an example. 6 of the 7 tunes have “heads” I wrote that you’ll need to learn by 1 of 2 ways - the first is I have played them all on an organ (which will be replaced eventually by your guitar) and you can simply mirror the notes I’m playing, but more preferable for me, is the second option which is that I have audio files of me “singing/humming” out the melodies with my voice over top of the tunes. The choice is yours on how you learn them (and i can send a file with the organ playing the melody AND a file with me singing them out too) but Id strongly prefer if you learned primarily with the audio msgs of me singing them because with my voice I can hit more closely to the nuances of how the heads should sound on guitar (how to bend the notes and etc), whereas the organ is just static single notes. The heads I’ve written are NOT complex whatsoever and any good guitarist should be able to learn them very easily, most of the “heavy lifting” will be the soloing and improv you’ll be doing on each tune. Some of the tunes have some short intros and outros as well that will be improvised by you

Here’s what I need from you:

The full length dry stems in wav or air format (no effects, EQ, compression or etc - for the ones that need a wah pedal it’ll just be the wah pedal going into your audio interface tho obviously) and AT LEAST 2 takes of each solo and intro/outro (with an option by me for a 3rd if necessary) so I can have the freedom to splice together all the best stuff. If you nail the heads, I don’t need multiple takes of those, just one take of the beginning and ending heads. Ill provide the mp3s of the backing tracks (and also a version of it with the organ playing the heads) and an audio file of me singing out the heads. Ill also provide the timestamps on each tune for where the heads are, intros, where to start and stop your solo, etc

Look forward to hearing from one of y’all!
