Chris Korblein is a seasoned and driven musician/guitarist currently based in Santa Monica, California (U.S.A.) who denotes his playing style as new age instrumental guitar, as one might want to hear on his most recent recording, "When You're Not Here". His workhorse guitars consist of a Strat with Swamp ash body and an EMG. Korblein has been playing guitar since 1989, and truthfully shares his career objective, "To continue making a living doing my music."
When the attempt was made to uncover his definitive or preferred effect for the guitar, Korblein purposefully responded with, "Reverb," and then volunteered his musicial goals, "I am constantly working on becoming a better guitar player
and writer." He keeps open the possibility to, at some point, study a new language, specifically Japanese, and is at the moment listening to a dog bark outside in the yard. His most important gratification? "The audience connecting with my songs," he muses emphatically.
Korblein winds up by detailing long-term and forthcoming endeavors insightfully, by saying, "Feeding my dog and cooking dinner."
Guitar Nine Records visitors have compared the playing style and/or musical approach of Chris Korblein to guitarists such as Mark Knopfler, Matt Cafissi and others.
Korblein's discography (available here at Guitar Nine Records) includes several solo albums ("Pacific Serenade", "When You're Not Here").
