My name is Dante Bonasera. If you want high quality sounding and creative guitar parts that will improve your song and bring it to new places look no further). I am a professional guitarist based in Nashville TN., specializing in rock (all types), pop, country, blues, funk, Americana, electronica. I’m also confident playing in other styles too (R&B and jazz). Music is my passion and I’ve committed my entire life to developing my skills as a guitarist ever since I first picked up the guitar at age 6. I’m always looking to learn something new and push the boundaries of what I’m capable of doing on the instrument. I have 25+ years of playing guitar and touring in original bands, writing, co-writing, and arranging eight albums worth of material. I’ve also played guitar on many recording sessions for other artists ranging from rock to electronica. Over the years, I’ve recorded albums in some of the biggest recording studios in Los Angeles. I’ve also been a sponsored artist for Fender Musical Instruments. What all my musical experiences have taught me over the years is what the right parts to play and what the right tones to use are to convey the emotion and message for a particular song.
