  • Bio

    Having had an interest in the guitar from as early as 2 years old, Chris started guitar lessons from the age of 7. He was influenced from this age by classic rock bands of the past to the present (Guns N' Roses, Aerosmith, AC/DC, The Who, Jimi Hendrix). After becoming known on the local scene when he was just 12, Chris broke into the limelight after being crowned Guitarist Magazine's 'Young Guitarist Of The Year 1997' when he was 16. Soon after this, Chris was approached by Marshall Amplification to play at roadshows and clinics for them around the UK and Europe. Things got busier for Chris, his music was used in film and television and he taught as many as 45 students a week, as well as producing demo's for other artists. The shows with Marshall amps continued and to date, Chris has played clinics for them in Austria, Hungary, Denmark, Greenland, Ireland, Portugal, Italy, Poland, Germany, Czech Republic, France, Slovenia, Russia, The Ukraine, USA and across the UK, now with the Chris George Band featuring Rob Butterfield on bass and Farid Medjane on drums. The many great musicians Chris has worked alongside include Nicko McBrain (Iron Maiden), Greg Ridley (Humble Pie), Pete Way from UFO for the regrouping of his band 'Waysted', Bernie Marsden (Whitesnake), Dave 'Bucket' Colwell (Bad Company), Geoff Whitehorn (Procul Harum), Phil Campbell (Motorhead), Dan Hawkins (The Darkness/Stone Gods), Robin Guy (GMT), John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin), Doug Aldrich (Whitesnake), Rob Flynn (Machine Head), Greg Bissonette, Carmine Appice, Paul Gilbert Joe Bonamassa, and Austria's triple platinum selling artist Christina Sturmer, in which he played festival dates and her own shows including a full arena tour. Chris also appears in a series of documentaries 'Inside The Music' - an independant critical review of various artists and the albums they have released. Chris and the band also appear in a series of DVD's from Marshall showcasing their new products. The whole series (4 in all) were given away monthly with issues of Guitarist Magazine and Total Guitar Magazine in late 2006 and early 2007. Each feature is presented by Chris and has live performances from the band. The Chris George Band also released their debut album in 2007, titled 'CGB'. The album, recorded in Russia and in the UK, has so far received excellent reviews. Also in 2007, Chris rejoined Waysted to write and record their next album 'The Harsh Reality' which was voted 26th best album of the year by Classic Rock Magazine. Chris George continues as International Product Demonstrator for Marshall Amplification, and also endorses LAG Guitars, Picato Strings, Seymour Duncan and Bare Knuckle Pickups.
