My introduction to Ziv Shalev occurred through the SoundBetter website. I entrusted him with a live performance of a song titled “Daddy’s Little Girl,” and his creativity soared. What he returned was nothing short of a guitar masterpiece, meticulously orchestrated with the perfect blend of guitar and bass elements. The inclusion of techniques like Ebow, Slide and crunchy guitars added a new dimension to the song. Ziv’s musical genius knows no bounds, and his ability to tackle any genre is truly remarkable.
