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.

Discussions with our instructors are just one of the many benefits of becoming a member of JamPlay.Excellant ...good job...hope you have more planned.
I can't open it either. Could the supplemental material be available the usual way?
cant open gpx. files so tabe does me no good on the intro and outro
I love this song, but around 3 minutes into scene three I am confused as to what you are playing. It appears you are showing a couple different variations of the main riff. Can you please verify the notes you are playing from around 2:30 - 3:20 minutes into scene three?
check out the tab for "intro/outro lead" in the supplemental content. This is the section I'm explaining. Thats not very clear in my intro to the section. Let me know if you're still confused.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=g94KAkPW9ds this is what i got so far chris. great lesson by the way. i like the optional backing tracks. that should be a requirement when doing song lessons. great job man!!
nice man! good job!
you matched the tone well too!!
Great lesson! I love it! Excellent job on the solo and all of it! Thank you!
Hey Everyone! If you haven't checked out the backing track and variations, make sure you do so. There are "part outs" for all of the guitar parts, so as you learn each section you can play with it as if you were playing with the band. There's also some other tracks for you recording nerds like vocal stems and instrumentals so you can hear how I did certain things in the studio and pick out some of the effects I'm using.
Awesome!! As a bona fide Priest Freak I thank you!
Yeah Chris I love this lesson!!!
All your stuff sounds good. Have you ever considered doing a tracking / mixing tutorial? I know this is off the path of guitardom, but you have good recording chops and it would be cool if you could share?
a series is being edited and prepared for you as I type this. :)
Excellent!
