About

I'm Alex Rivera — a session guitarist, composer, and educator who believes that music isn't just heard, it's felt. With over a decade of professional experience, I've had the privilege of performing and recording alongside some of the most exciting artists in the industry.
Whether I'm laying down precise studio tracks, teaching a student their first chord progression, or performing live in front of thousands — I bring the same level of passion and craft to every note.
My sound spans rock, blues, jazz, and world music, and I'm always exploring where one genre bleeds into another. I believe the best music happens at those intersections.

ONE GUITARIST, EVERY NEED

Session work, live shows, lessons, or remote tracks — whatever the project calls for, I bring the same studio-level focus and a guitar that adapts to the room.

Session Recording

Need a professional guitarist for your next track? I provide studio-quality session work — remote or in-person. Acoustic, electric, classical, or slide. I can match your reference, or suggest something unexpected.

Live Performances

Booking a guitarist for your show, session, or event? I bring stage-ready chops and a catalog built for reading a room — covers, originals, or backing a headliner. Rehearsed tight, comfortable improvising when the moment calls for it.

Music Lessons

Want to actually get better, not just practice more? I teach technique, theory, and phrasing built around your ear and your goals — beginner fundamentals or advanced improvisation. Lessons run remote or in-person, structured around real songs, not just scales.

Remote Collaboration

Working on a track from across the world? I record clean, mix-ready guitar parts from my home studio and turn them around fast. Send a demo, a click track, or just a vibe — I'll send back stems that fit the pocket.

Ready to Create?

Let’s Make Something Real

Whether it’s a single track, an album, a live event, or a lesson — I’d love to hear what you’re working on.

How it Works

From First
Note to
Final Mix

My process is designed to be smooth, communicative, and creative — whether we’re working in the same room or across time zones.

Discovery

We talk about your project, your vision, the references you love, and what you’re trying to achieve. No obligation — just an honest conversation about music.

Direction

We talk about your project, your vision, the references you love, and what you’re trying to achieve. No obligation — just an honest conversation about music.

Recording

I record multiple takes in my professional home studio. You get to hear options and choose what feels right. Revisions are built into every project.

Delivery

Clean, labelled stems delivered to your DAW of choice — typically within 72 hours. Includes raw DI tracks, pre-amp, effects versions, and mixed files.

Questions

Got questions?

Everything you need to know before we work together. Can’t find your answer? Just send a message.

Do you work with other instruments or only guitar?

I’m primarily a guitarist, but I’m happy to collaborate with musicians of all kinds. This template is fully adaptable — drummers, keyboard players, flutists, and vocalists can all use this format.

How does remote session work, exactly?

You send me your track, we align on the feel and tone via a quick call or detailed brief, I record my parts in my studio, and you receive clean, labelled stems ready to drop into your mix.

How long does a typical session project take?

Starter projects are typically delivered within 5 business days. Professional packages come with a 48-hour turnaround. Retainer clients get 24-hour turnaround as standard.

What level is best for guitar lessons?

I teach complete beginners through advanced players. Your first session is always an assessment so I can understand exactly where you are and where you want to go.

Are online lessons as effective as in-person?

Absolutely. With a good camera setup and decent internet, online lessons are just as effective. Many of my best students have been entirely online.

Do you retain rights to the music recorded?

No. All recordings I produce for you are fully yours. I sign away all rights upon delivery. The only thing I ask is to be credited in liner notes when applicable.

What Artists Say

words from the stage

Trusted by 50+ artists across genres

“Working with Alex was a game-changer for my album. He didn’t just play what was on the sheet — he listened to what the song was trying to say and made it speak. The guitar parts he contributed became the emotional heart of the entire record.”

Sofia Reyes
Singer-Songwriter · Mumbai

"Alex has this rare thing where he can read the harmony faster than I can explain it. I'd send him a rough sketch and he'd come back with a part that made the whole arrangement click into place. He's the first call for any session I'm scoring now."

Devon kali
Jazz composer

"I booked Alex for one session and ended up working with him for three months straight. He's fast, precise, and never makes you feel like you're asking for too much. Every take came back exactly on time and exactly on vibe."

Siddharth
Music composer - Miami

"We needed a last-minute overdub before a deadline and Alex turned it around overnight — clean, in the pocket, no notes needed. That kind of reliability is hard to find in session players."

Marcus Webb
Producer · London
