What is the typical rate people get for providing guitar or keys to track?

As always, it depends. I will charge between $50 and $100 for a track in most cases. If I have to arrange it or make a chord chart (amazing how many people have no idea), then more. If they want more (composition, hooks etc.) then more.

Was my Union for so many years! Lots of memories. Sad to see them forced out of it's old Vine St. location recently.
One of the cooler developments in this brave new landscape is that there are prefab websites where remote session collaborators and clients can find each other, with quotes and rates and work samples and whatnot.

Thanks! Very interesting...hadn't heard about them before.
Caveat; if you choose to work with Union musicians, you must pay the master rate in order to exploit any product, and in every case, you must obtain a Work For Hire Agreement.
