Expressive Electric Guitar Solo for Emotional Piano Ballad

I’m producing an original piano-led ballad called “I Never Thought”.

I’m looking for an experienced electric guitarist to recreate my existing guitar solo, keeping the original melody and overall structure very close to the demo, but bringing much more emotion, expression and feel to the performance.

I love the melody I’ve already created, so I’m not looking for a completely new solo.

I’d love a warm, singing gui ... tar tone with beautiful vibrato, expressive bends, natural sustain and tasteful phrasing. I want the guitar to feel almost like another voice in the song.

I’m happy for you to bring your own musical interpretation and make subtle improvements, but the emotional character and recognisable melody of the original solo are very important to me.

I’m also working with a session pianist on a new piano arrangement and exploring subtle strings, so the guitar needs to complement the intimate, unplugged feel of the song.

Technical details:

* Tempo: 135 BPM
* Recording format: 48 kHz / 24-bit WAV
* Ideally both processed guitar and clean DI tracks
* I can provide the original demo, isolated solo and backing tracks

I’m looking for a tasteful, expressive performance rather than technical showmanship.

I’d love to hear how you’d approach the solo and what you could bring to it.
