NEWS   Please, take a listen to "Cruising" with Christopher Martin Hansen on lead guitar! Thank you! smile :)
Cheers, Everyone!

I was born and raised in Germany and moved permanently to the U.S. in 1986. As a young guy (age 18) I've taught myself to play the guitar and soon expanded to other stringed instruments and the piano (well, keyboard!). I've been playing live gigs for years, then took a little break. Soon, I picked up composing and songwriting again. I've been around for music just about for 30 years and it still remains one of my biggest passions in life.

This one sounded (at the intro) like it was going to be a mellow tune. But, to my chagrin, Mike brought in a fuzz(ish +) induced rhythm guitar. And added another (country influenced) rhythm guitar that melded well with the first. Then factor in eclectic lead guitars that supported each other, and worked well with the sax solo.

Lots of really cool textures here that keep you from guessing what’s happening next.

God Bless

Nice blues standard Mike, and you’re particular solo was tasteful and well played. But, nothing personal here, Chris’s lead was exceptionally done (Chris, if you see this, what guitar and effects we‘re you using…. I promise I won‘t try to clip any of your stuff).

All that aside, the backing instrumentation/production and scoring was up to your usual level Mike. Very enjoyable.
