Chris Adams Guitarist/composer
I have listened to a large part of Chris's work and find his abilities can only be described as phenomenal.
After begining to learn the drums at eight years old he switched to the guitar at twelve and won an award for 'outstanding musical achievement' in 1979 age 15 . In the same year he had his first taste of a 'real' recording studio where he recorded a song called 'sitting on a bench'. During the 1980's Chris toured with several bands - and worked with Rob Goss on a project that has taken ten years to produce and will be released in 2006.
His career continued through the 80's and into the 90's as he trained as a sound engineer in various studios and worked on several projects alongside...
During his early years Chris Would play for hours upon hours emulating his favourite players of the day, Jimi Hendrix, Jimi Page of Led Zeppelin, Dave Gilmour of Pink Floyd. Chris has studied many of the more modern guitarists like Steve Vai, Joe Satriani and Eric Johnson as well as the classical players such as Andre Segovia, Julian Bream and John Williams.
After launching his solo career back in 1999 Chris has had top ten hits in over 10 music charts these include seven no ones.
Chris will also be releaseing further solo albums.
Some reviews
01 Martin Pleau said on 17/06/02 Chris adams is the ULTIMATE greatest guitarist of all time : in his songs, like Bohoo or Out of the Silence, he blends powerful emotions through the sound of the guitar : emptiness, loneliness, pain, joy, peace, power. The electric really haunts on some tracks. This is SO powerful.
Review from CrossRhythms issue 74
Variations on a Theme
There can be no denying that Chris adams is a phenomenal guitarist. His breathtaking fret board acrobatics have led many to compare him to the legendary Phil Keaggy. So, what of Chris's latest offerering? Pusey guides us through ten tracks, venturing across a broad spectrum of soundscapes. From the funky opener " The Battle is in the Mind" and the cool jazz of "The Call" to the solid rock guitar of "Ascending", Chris upholds his reputation as an instrumental virtuoso. Make sure you check out the inspired "Etude2 On a Theme of Paganini" with its latin-tinged beat, not to be confused with Franz Liszt's composition of a similar name. My personal favorite is the altogether more chilled "Angels" with its serene synths and Chris's epic guitar solo. Once again, Chris has delivered a fine instrumental album. But there will always be those who prefer the more conventional " Praise Him on the Noseflute" or something....

"With the obvious influence of some of my guitar heros ... Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Van Halen
(just a touch) Chris puts them all in a kettle and boils them 'til they scream for more of
what Chris can offer. Keep playin' for Christ, man ... and let us know when you'll be coming through the U.S. so we can drive hundreds of miles to catch a show if we have to!!"
