For those curiously interested in my album

Shred4hire · Post by **Shred4hire** » Fri Apr 01, 2011 6:45 am

Hi every one!!! I have up loaded new samples of my songs with kelly keeling, mike vescera and chandler mogel, as well as tracks with house of lords members and of course many more . Working hard on a release date with promo and advertizing. It would be great to see what every one thinks so far i know they are short clips but they arent finished being mixed yet or tracked even ! .. and since none of you have really heard much of the material including TJ and Quenton, i will find it enlighting and interesting to hear what every on has to say.
(i wanted to make sure i wasnt like a "certain some one" promising a cd that never got delivered )

Can tell you've put lots of soul on in it. What amps are you using? Kelly was awesome with M.s.g.

Slayer · Post by **Slayer** » Fri Apr 01, 2011 2:52 pm

I'll buy that Chris! you play very well and I have always liked Kelly Keeling and what I heard on your page of Mike Vescera I like him with you even more than what he did with Yngwie and Akira Takasaki.

You should be proud bro and by the way go Telecasters!

thanks man im trying to just bring a vibe with music ..i said before.. i want to have people feel something ...i never set out to be the best guitarst or song writer or anything and everything i have been able to do is because im justa lucky guy witha vision i owe lots of people for that chance to create .. right now im just want to connect with friends and fans and just say some thing in music sorta speaking to you with either melodies or lyrics. its my pleasure to be able to share and i hope i can do it globally so i can continue to do so ..

Slayer · Post by **Slayer** » Wed Apr 25, 2012 2:22 pm

It wouldn't be fun for Chris to tone down his technique ans style

That's brilliant Chris. Insane playing. That Fret board was on fire.

Yer, maybe Chris & Rusty Cooley can both join KISS...Gene & Paul will go into melt down mode.

Shred4hire · Post by **Shred4hire** » Fri Apr 27, 2012 7:00 am

actually i do tone down alot for some of my gigs.. its what i get paid to do ... as long as the material was good id be ok with it. what i hate is the " note police" or people giving you a hard time about dumb stuff in a song..

thanks metatron i had blast doin that one.

Shred4hire · Post by **Shred4hire** » Wed May 02, 2012 5:55 am
