Session Guitarist & Songwriter
Distinctive guitar parts rooted in prog, classic and alternative rock.
A song-first approach
I’m Dennis Wever, a guitarist and songwriter with more than 20 years of experience in progressive rock, classic rock and alternative rock. Inspired by the melodic playing of David Gilmour, Andrew Latimer and Steve Rothery, I create guitar parts that serve the song and bring its character to life.
From layered progressive arrangements to concise, lyric-driven songs, my work includes atmospheric lead guitar and expressive solos.
