New Album - Only Human

 

CHRISTOPHER SCHREINER A.K.A. THE GUY: Only Human
Only Human is the 8 track debut release of Christopher Schreiner A.K.A. the guy. The compositions appeal to guitarists on account of the nuance, tone, and technique, the non-musician listener will appreciate the interesting arrangements, groove and overall mood of the pieces. 

 

  “…the songs bring to mind Eric Johnson…his use of notes…Jeff Beck.”
- John Heidt, Vintage Guitar Magazine

the guy is spacey, quietly flashy, and intense.”
- Jim Fusilli, Wall Street Journal

“(Only Human is an) extraordinary piece of work.”
- K.V.K Rock Report

"Only Human…will appeal to both guitar aficionados and anyone that’s a lover of music that’s done well."
- C.W. Ross CW’s Place

“…Sweet, sweet playing guy! I mean really beautiful… They say one’s playing is evocative of who they are. If that’s true, you must be a really nice guy!”
- Steve Vai

The fourth contestant, from Norwalk, Conn., performs as "the guy." His spacey approach is quietly flashy and intense, but at a crucial moment he hesitates, as if drawing a breath, before a furious flurry." Read the Full Article Here .
