About Chris Liepe
View Full Biography
Chris Liepe was born on September 17th, 1981 in Portland OR. His first instrument was piano which he pursued until discovering his love for the electric guitar in high school. He became fans of such groups as Soundgarden, Collective Soul and U2 inspiring him to start singing, songwriting and helping others in their musical endeavors with teaching, co-writing and album production.
Having moved to Colorado with his family, he began gigging, recording and teaching in a number of music stores as well as out of his apartment until deciding to pursue music full time. He moved to Denver, CO to complete a Bachelors in Music Technology and was then hired on by Sweetwater Productions, a division of Sweetwater Sound and one of the largest, most successful recording studios in the Midwest.
Chris spent nearly 4 years at Sweetwater as a producer, recording engineer, studio musician and writer. During this time he had the privilege of working with many artists including Augustana, Landon Pigg, Jars of Clay, and Mercy Me. He also wrote for and played on numerous independent albums and hundreds of radio/TV commercials.
Wanting to get back to his favorite State in the world (Colorado) and feeling the urge to 'go freelance', Chris moved to Greeley, CO and opened his own recording and teaching studio. He continues to write and produce music for artists and agencies and is happy to be among the proud JamPlay.com instructors.

Member Comments about this Lesson
Discussions with our instructors are just one of the many benefits of becoming a member of JamPlay.I really enjoy this quiz, very formative
Hey chris i got one more problem. One the vertical g major scale i saw that you called first note two different names. You called it a major second in lesson 8 and you were counting the first three notes like 1,2,3. So is there a major 1st mabey? Sorry for asking so many questions. Thanks
Am i missing something? Have we learned about non diatonic intervals and where is that covered. thanks. great lesson bye the way
we have not covered 'non-diatonic' intervals in this section. this quiz includes only diatonic intervals, in other words, only intervals that appear in the Major Scale
let me correct myself... this quiz covers major and minor intervals. the word "diatonic" refers to notes that belong in a particular scale or key. All the intervals in this quiz are "diatonic" to either a major or minor scale. A flat 5 for flat 2 would be considered non diatonic intervals and these are not covered in this quiz. Sorry for the confusion
did perfect on 1 and 2. got one wrong in the 3rd section. did not use the guitar. Memorizing songs is awesome! I never thought I could recognize intervals. Of course I am still pretty slow at it as this is my first time, and I had to stop the recording many times to really imagine the sounds and match them with songs in my head. Any song ideas for diminished 5th and minor 6th?
Very tough. With Guitar in hand I could work it out but 3rd - 4th and 5th sound very close to me and 5th 6th and 7th sound similar. 2nd and Octave is slightly faster to pick out. Minors are even tougher. Oh - this is my 2nd time through! We'll see again in a few months.
As Coffeenut said - a reality check here too! Really glad we were allowed to do it with the guitar in hand, as I would have certainly bombed without it. Did fine on 1 and 2, but only got section 3 correct because I doggedly looped each question until I could match the notes on the guitar, and then check the interval. A hollow victory, for sure. At least I managed to match Chris's notes by ear... any points for that? Not really? Ah well, I'll have to try a bit of ear training and come back in a couple of weeks and see how I score without using the guitar. It could be bloody.... Thanks for a fun quiz Chris.
Did great on section 1 and 2, but the 3rd kicked my butt. I'll be back section 3, watch your back!!!! Thanks for the reality check Chris..lol..
