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.Chris, this is a very useful series, but for some reason, I can't seem to view any of the supplemental materials; (everything comes up as a blank screen, and printing to PDF gives the same result). I wonder if anyone else has reported this trouble?
hmmm, what browser/OS are you using?
Hi Chris: Have tried both Firefox and IE, running Win7 64 bit Pro. Scott
Just wanted to add...moving backwards from 1st and second string really helps you brain make the connection ...good lesson
Chris....the working around in fifths is a nice touch...well help the student see the circle of fifths on the guitar...nice to get away from theory and on the guitar...going to work on it right now!
do you have a question I can see if I can answer?
You lost me after the first session? I may be slow but I just can't follow you. I am, however, continuing trying to memorize the notes on all strings. dc
