About

Chris is most well known for playing on the first two Megadeth albums but most of his career has been in jazz fusion. Chris' band Ohm was my introduction to the genre. Seeing Chris play an SBG also sparked my interest in Yamaha guitars.

What to listen for

Chris' playing is fluid and fast with bends that sound completely unique to him. If you've heard the keyboard player Jan Hammer there's a large influence on how Chris' playing sounds.
