I Help Modern Guitarists Finish Release-Ready Songs
I’m Erick Gerber — a composer-producer and guitarist working with modern rock & metal artists worldwide.
Why Most Guitarists Never Finish Their Best Songs
Most modern guitarists don’t struggle with ideas — they struggle with finishing.
They have riffs, tones, half-written sections, and promising demos…
but the song stalls somewhere between inspiration and release.
I know this problem intimately — not just as a guitarist, but as a composer-producer who has watched hundreds of songs fail to cross that final line.
That’s why I built The Modern Guitarist’s Song Finisher Roadmap — a clear, structured system for turning guitar-driven ideas into complete, release-ready songs without burning out or second-guessing every decision.

How I Think About Writing Guitar-Driven Music
I don’t believe great songs come from endless experimentation or perfect theory.
They come from clear intent, strong structure, and knowing what to focus on at each stage of the process.
My approach blends:
Modern guitar language (djent, math rock, metalcore, alt-rock)
Practical composition systems (not vague inspiration talk)
Production-aware songwriting that actually translates to finished records
Whether I’m mentoring, producing, or writing, the goal is always the same:
clarity, momentum, and completion.
Outside the Studio
When I’m not writing or recording, I’m usually deep into a sci-fi book, anime or video game — or spending time outdoors with my wife and our dog here in New Zealand.
Music is still the obsession, but finishing things brings clarity — and clarity makes room for the rest of life.
