Chad Kulengosky · Producer & songwriter
Better songs. Cleaner takes. Stronger bands.
Producer and coach for players at every stage — first chords and campfire songs, pre-production for the studio, and band sessions at the studio in Orange County or over Zoom.
Coaching
Open to beginners and weekend players, and built for artists who want to level up into recording. Pick the lane that fits — or mix them as you grow.
Turn a riff, lyric seed, or rough demo into a song that holds up — hooks, structure, and ideas worth tracking.
Accessible guitar for real life — starting out, leveling up, or just wanting to strum a few chords at a campfire and have fun.
For players and writers progressing toward recording — parts, tone, and performance habits that hold up on a take.
Groove and pocket that hold the band — from solid fundamentals to parts ready for the tracking room.
Pitch, timing, and delivery that feel natural and pro. Melodies and harmonies written in-session when you need them.
Capture album-ready takes while the idea is hot — Pro Tools certified workflow, remote or in the studio.
Process
Individuals and bands/artists — Zoom remote or in person at the studio (Rancho Santa Margarita). Bring the song (or the seed of one). We’ll make it clearer, stronger, and closer to something you can share.
Choose individual coaching or a band/artist session, Zoom or in-studio, then send preferred times via the booking form.
You’ll get a confirm with Zoom link or studio details, plus a short prep checklist for gear and goals. Zoom lessons run through a pro audio interface, so you hear every note clearly.
Voice memo, rough demo, charts, or just a riff — ready to write, coach parts, and track when it makes sense.
Clear notes on structure, parts, and production so the song (or project) keeps progressing between sessions.
Zoom audio Studio-quality audio on every Zoom lesson. You hear my guitar and voice clean, not through Zoom’s phone-call filter.

About
I'm Chad Kulengosky — producer, songwriter, and music coach. I get the best ideas out of players by helping them explore and refine their parts, build fluidity, and lock in album-ready timing and tracking quality. Sessions move from songwriting ideas into production and recording as an ongoing coaching relationship. I also book bands and artists for recording at the studio in Rancho Santa Margarita, in person or remotely over Zoom. I'm Pro Tools certified through a completed training program, and I use that workflow every day in the studio. Before producing full-time I taught guitar for years, then toured the world with I Am Ghost on Epitaph Records. From mosh pits in Berlin to acoustic campfires in San Clemente, the guitar keeps leading me to new people who love music the same way.
