Bill Scott Testimonials
"To call Bill Scott a master of his instrument is putting it lightly. He has the technique, chops and grounding in theory that one would expect from a Berklee guitar grad, but he also brings an originality and sensitivity to music that sets him apart. No matter what the genre, Bill can do it and do it well, nailing the perfect parts and arrangements to give each song a unique and dynamic sound. His solos merge the epic and tasteful, bestowing narrative qualities with expressive tone and judicious note selection.
He's an irreplaceable member of all of the many projects that he pours himself into, bringing with him a laid back demeanor that belies the seriousness and proficiency that he brings to the table. The guy can hang with the most revered players and his innate work ethic making him a pleasure to work with. "

"As a person who has been fortunate enough to promote several bands a week in some of the most world renown venues in Los Angeles (House of Blues, Viper Room and more,) I have literally seen thousands of talented musicians on a yearly basis. But I have yet to see any guitar player display the musical prowess, skill set, passion and presentation of Bill Scott. Be it Latin, Indie, Fusion, Jazz or Metal, few - if any- look and play the part better than Bill.
It's a no brainer: With Bill Scott as the cornerstone of your live or studio project, you can rest assured that your musical foundation is rock solid.
And in THIS town, where time is money, that's a GREAT feeling."

"Working with Mr. Bill Scott you should expect nothing less then first class professionalism. Mr. Scott is not just a phenomenal musician with incredible musicianship skills he is also a very talented music director and professor. He is respectful and is respected by all of his colleagues students and employees. He is punctual and extremely responsible for his work. If there is a conflict in his schedule, not to worry Mr. Scott will always find a replacement and make sure to accommodate every need of his employees and fellow musicians. As my band member and music director for over 7 years I can not recommend anyone more then Mr. Bill Scott"

"My name is Dan Clor founder of Victory Music Academy and the band Weapon-X, I have worked with Bill Scott professionally for three years now in our heavy band Weapon-X and with my music development company Victory Music Academy. When speaking of Bill one word comes to mind "Professionalism", Bill Scott is a true music industry professional. From the moment I met Bill I knew that he took his musical craft very seriously, I could see that he truly loved music, that he has a complete passion for his art and trade.
What makes Bill special in our industry is his unique ability to blend artistic skill with a very solid music business acumen. This is a great combination that has allowed him to earn a living and succeed in a very competitive Los Angeles music scene. Bill is an exceptional guitar player, vocalist, recording engineer, producer, and educator who brings an equal amount of expertise to each field. As a guitar player in Weapon-X he has raised the level of the band tenfold, his solid approach to guitar playing which is an effective balance of technicality and practicality has been a complete asset to the machine. Bill has also engineered recording sessions for the band with very positive results. I have hired Bill to teach guitar lessons to a select few of our best students at the Victory Music Academy, again great results.
For all of the positive musical things I have mentioned above about Bill, it is amazing that they are overshadowed by who he is as a person. Bill Scott is a good man, he lives his life with integrity, he cares about people. There are a lot of amazing talented musicians in Los Angeles but very, very few have the reliability, integrity and kind heart that this man has, this is why I think so highly of him. Working with him will make you a better player and person. I know he has done that for me, I am proud to call him bandmate and friend."

"I was introduced to Bill Scott in 2002 at Berklee College of Music. I was
looking for a Guitar Player. After working with Bill for a month, I
didn't meet a guitar player, but a musician! Now in 2013, after being in
L.A. and knowing only musicians, the ONLY person I put into a gig is Bill.
If you have a problem recording, arranging or lack of players, he embodies
ALL. He knows the tasty notes and REALLY knows song taste. Absolutely no
over-playing unless it's asked for. Real tone, real quality, real chops,
real musician and actually a real person! A humble Master of Song and
Style. Always Fresh Bill!"
