My name is Chris Feener, born and raised in Grand Falls-Windsor, Newfoundland, Canada, guitar playing is my life!

I started when I was about 8, but didn’t have either the resources or the knowledge to know what to do, so it took a few years to get off the ground. When I was in about grade 7 I learned how to read tab and that was it! I turned 20 a few days ago.

Nowadays I spend most of my time working on my first solo album, due to be released within the next few months.

So check out my stuff!

Rodrigo Zapata

Rodrigo Zapata — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 23:23:02 +0000

Bueno…yo naci el 10 de enero de 1984 en la ciudad de Neuquen-Argentina, comenze a tocar guitarra clasica y folklore a muy temprana edad. Las primeras bandas que escuche y me volvieron loco fueron Pink Floyd, Deep Purple y Van Halen. Con el paso del tiempo me fui comprometiendo mas con la guitarra, quizas como un canal o excusa para denominarme buscador de aquello que no puedo nombrar mas que con 4 letras. Estudie musica institucionalmente, pero nada se comparo a la experiencia en bandas y lo aprendido riendo, llorando y “pariendo” musica.

A musician does not always put forth what he should, but what he feels. That is what this marvelous and freedom loving world of musical composition is all about”…Philipp K.Scheer
