Chris does most of the songwriting
in the band. Usually starting from just a guitar riff, then adding
layers of rhythm, lyric and melody until the song is complete. In
his playing, technical ability is evident, but even more impressive
is his ability to instinctively achieve just the right mix of blues
and feeling with blistering ergency. Usually opting for the blues
run up the fingerboard over the neoclassical scale, he always writes
what is best for the song and not necessarily what will show of his
talents more.

"...The
guitar solo is always the last thing that I write in a song...I
might play it diffrent dozens of times, then I will listen back
to them and pick the parts that seem to work the best. After
that I arrange those parts into the solo and learn it just like
the rest of the song. A guitar solo is like a song within a
song. I like to try to play it so people will be able to recognize
it every time, but still leave some room to keep it fresh..."
