To get the best possible sounds, we’ve compiled a roster of ridiculously good A-list session players and recorded them at amazing studios around the country including Steve Vai’s studio, The Mothership, as well as Sound Asylum in Canoga Park, California and Sound Emporium’s Studio B in Nashville, Tennessee.
Here are a few choice cuts:

LOOP #100: OUTLAW COUNTRY CLUB
VIBE: A smooth, twangy, mid-tempo bounce inspired by the greats of outlaw county. Jam along to solid rhythms and a sweet chord progression.
