Finally! I've been waiting for the final part of this interview. And I remember those days back in the 80s all of us talking about Chris, Yngwie, Paul Gilbert, Vinnie Moore, Etc. Those were fun times.

So that's how Chris sort of fell under the radar: he didn't want this 'competition' vibe... And I can definitely understand that. Al DiMeola never got into that "let's just play faster!!!" thing either, but rather went the opposite way. So did Gary Moore and (another mostly unsung hero) Frank Marino... It just got too silly. I think Chris also felt a bit more akin to George Lynch, considering their more 'metal'-based approach. Excellent interview!!! Happy to see Chris is doing well 👍😎🙏

I have one of those Charvel Legacy strat's Chris is playing here and it is just like the old originals from 1981. Grover and the rest of the Charvel crew did a amazing job at cloning the old feel and tone of the 1981 Charvels. The neck on these is one of the best Strat necks ever!

@damienthorne8617 ай бұрын
My whole life changed when I heard between nothingness and eternity or by the mahavishnu orchestra and that sent me down a spiral descent into hell lol, But I also remember when I heard stand in line from impelliteri and I was just blown away by the technique. And I said I have to try to do that. I was moderately successful but it came at a price nerve damage in my fretting hand So you kids out there know your limitations and don't play through pain. I was actually always a bass player really, but I think that Chris's underestimated for his compositional prowess too. And his chicken picking stuff is just amazing I mean it's amazing. But when I first saw that v HS tape his speed soloing thing I just couldn't even believe it

LOVE Chris !!! IMO, and I know this sounds stupidlyness, but if he used a different band name, he may be far more recognized for the genius he is. No, really... been a fan for 30 years and no one I tell about him can recall his name, or let alone, how to friggin' spell it. Never thought he sounded anything like YJM.
