Session Guitar

I can bring your guitar parts to life for your project whether it's a guest solo or performing whole songs.  I can stand out or lay back, stylising creative parts that fit your song or project.  I have experience laying down guitars for contemporary R&B, pop, classic and hard rock, metal, fusion, funk, prog rock and shred.  My timing is on the money and I always put in more time than I'm charging you for because I don't let anything out of this studio unless I'm happy to attach my name to it.

I work from my home studio and submit you tracks recorded using various mics and positions, valve preamp, and capability to record up to 24-bit 96kHz. Tracks can be sent to you digitally or on disk. I can also record at your studio, though I've found that working in my own environment is more cost-effective for you as I can craft the parts without you watching the clock.  

Session rates vary so please drop me a line to tell me about your project and check availability.

Live Guitar

I back artists in a variety of styles ranging from top 40 to rock.  

One of the most common gig offers I get is from solo acoustic artists and cover bands who want me to sprinkle some chimey guitar parts and the occasional solo over the foundations already laid down.  I excel at doing this and work well with other guitar players, and I adapt what I do on the spot to suit what's going on.  Definitely contact me if this is what you're after.  Artists I've been hired to do this for include Mozaik, Ben Finn, and Marty Mulholland.

If I'm learning songs and creating a personal chart for your show, then I do prefer repeat gigs, and rehearsal fees may apply for one-offs, but please contact me regardless.

Master Sessions

Chris is available to bring his popular "Becoming your own player" Master Session to your facility, whether it be local to Sydney, interstate, or even international.

Chris is a skilled and experienced educator and has been teaching and performing for over 20 years.  In his 2-hour master class, attendees get an in-depth look at the concepts that Chris studied and created material on in order to get over his own hurdles as a player and create a personal approach to improvisation, with real-world examples (40 pages in fact!) and a take-home CD.  Attendees have found Chris' classes to be eye-opening, challenging, and creative.
