Tim West

• Tim West - Classical Guitar / Synth

"Your music was perfect! We also appreciated that you were mindful of ceremonial moments like the prayer and the toast. Feel free to use me as a reference anytime."

"You are a top shelf player. I would even love to get in the studio with you sometime..."

"Thank you so much for being a part of our special day! We love your music...!!

It is a joy to make my customers happy, and I appreciate such complimentary feedback like this.

Classical guitar music adds a beautiful and elegant atmosphere to any special occasion. As subtle background music, conversations may be casual and comfortable. As special entertainment, I can provide a a variety of styles for a broad range of interests.

My immediate service area is the corridor of Atlanta, Chattanooga, Knoxville, and Nashville, although I am grateful for opportunities in an extended radius from my home territory.

Please listen to a few sample tracks on this site. This will better acquaint you with my styles and ability, and may help you in planning the music for your special event. You will quickly notice that several of my samples include additional accompaniment. This is because I often prerecord backing tracks for certain pieces for more variety when the occasion calls for such, demonstrating that if desired, I can essentially provide either the "whole band" or solo classical.(If you're curious about the sample track "Laughter in the Rain," that was all recorded using my guitar synthesizer.)

• INCREDIBLE!! We had Tim play during our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. People were amazed. At one point, he began playing Bohemian Rhapsody, and almost everyone joined in on an impromptu sign-a-long!! Tim is so talented and I've already had several guests asking for his contact info for their upcoming weddings. I wish I had hired him to play the entire day!! We had only communicated via email up until the day of the wedding. He was super accomadating when it came to song choices. I asked for Little Martha by Duane Allman, and he sent me back an email about a day later letting me know he had already learned it!! I totally recommend Tim for any event!! -- Katie W, Chattanooga, TN, 10/14/2011
• Tim played the guitar at my rehearsal dinner a couple weeks ago. His music was fabulous and all of my family and friends loved listening to him. Tim took care of everything for me and made the entire night hassle free. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great guitar player. -- Meg C, Huntsville, AL, 9/30/2011
• Tim played at my daughter's wedding ceremony 2/12/2011, and played so beautifully that everyone there was truly in awe. Not only is Tim an extraordinarily talented performer, he is also very helpful - he answered every question I had promptly and offered great advice. I only had to pick a few special songs, and let Tim take care of the rest. I am begging him to make a CD; I would have loved to give each of our guests a copy. I will never forget how cool he looked by candlelight as he played my daughter's and her husband's special music. Tim really did play a huge part in making this ceremony unforgettable. -- Linda P, Marietta, GA, 2/12/2011
• I cannot begin to express the excellent experience Mr. Tim West provided at our wedding ceremony. A zillion and one thank yous for the exceptional professionalism Mr. West displayed throughout our wedding planning process. I was a bit behind on the wedding planning and consequently gave Tim our ceremony music selections approximately 10 days before the wedding. I have to say, Tim so cheerfully worked with me and was able to play our selections amazingly well along with a dear friend who sang our chosen pieces! I cannot say enough about Mr. West's talents! He is indeed a masterful performer. Our Best & Many Blessings, Jamal and Funke Olusesi. -- Funke O, Milton, GA, 10/8/2011
• What a joy to get to work with Tim!! Not only was he an amazing guitarist, but he was a great person and made our special day even that much more special. He was a true professional and extremely talented. I highly recommend Tim to anyone needing a guitarist for their event. -- Nathan P, Alpharetta, GA, 10/15/2011
• Tim was a pleasure to work with! He accomodated the request to play our wedding ceremony on extremely short notice, took the time to discuss our song type preferences, and played an excellent set. We received nothing but complements on Tim's music, and I would definitely recommend him to others! -- Charles J, Decatur, GA, 8/14/2010
• Tim did a wonderful Job at our wedding! Very talented and great to work with. I would highly recommend him for any event. Thank you again Tim! -- Herbert H, Chattanooga, TN, 5/29/2011
• Tim was wonderful to work with during my wedding preparations, and of course at the wedding! He is very accommodating to your requests and talented in playing all types of songs. I trusted in him and knew that everything would turn out perfectly, as it did. Thanks Tim! -- Eva K, Atlanta, GA, 10/29/2011
