    As a fellow guitarist who has been playing for nearly 40 years, I have learned to appreciate the players that effortlessly do the things I just can't do. I'm very rhythmic, very timing focused, serves me well. But melody, nah not my strength. However if I can do one jam or solo that is half as moving as the stuff Chris knocks out in his sleep, I'll die a happy man.

    Chris is what a guitarist should aspire to be. He plays with taste and isn’t technical for the sake of technical or guitar-as-a-sporting-enterprise. He simply incorporates his toolbox of chops and technique in the service of music rather than vice versa like it seems 90% of the self-proclaimed instructors out there do. He’s a clear favorite whenever he plays.
    Bellissimo!

      Hmm... Yuri and Carlos have completely different opinions and I find myself agreeing wholeheartedly with both of them. You do reach a point, though, where knowing how to get the tone you’re looking for becomes a part of your playing and your musicianship. I get more compliments on my tone than on my playing, but the two things are completely interdependent.

    Not hyperbole. Honest to God, your playing is absolutely top shelf technically but married to some fantastic feel that, for me, has set you right alongside some lofty company of my favorite guitarists, not just contemporary but all-time. I'm not just casually saying that. It's true. I can think of 6 or 7 players I would most like to see live today, just a cut above others I would still want to see, and if I had to narrow that down to just 2, you would make that cut without reservation. There would be some very well known names left on the cutting room floor, I'm afraid. A couple because I've had the great pleasure of seeing them before and several that would just take the back seat so I could see and hear you instead. Thank you, as always, for sharing.

    Great stuff Chris . I spent a bit of time trying to get that Peter Green tone from my Michael Kelly guitar . It has coil tapped humbucker and putting the split on the neck pickup gave a decent imitation of the tone . I recently saw a video of Drew Zing playing with Steely Dan in the nineties and surprisingly all the Larry Carlton style solos were produced in the middle position by him and tbh I would have put my last pound on them being played on the bridge of a 335 . Thanks for the post Chris . 👍

    Insane how good your playing is. I’ve been playing for over a decade and still can’t imagine quite so perfectly nailing every single note!

    That is the best intro I have seen of all your videos and that is saying something. I would vote for this in a list of top solos.

    "For anyone who's ever listened to or marveled at" ..... I've listened to that line so many times cause i keep playing and marveling at your intro!

    That is hands down the best intro/solo that I’ve ever heard you play.

    Dude, every time I check in on your videos, I am blown away. Today, my full intent was to blow past your instrumental piece and get to the review/meat of the session - and I tried, I really did. And then I could no longer look away. Hahahaha! Thanks!
