Thanks for the interest Mike. There's all kinds of gigs happening- just keep up with this page, and the official OHM site, which is here. As for CDs, they are available here.

Hey Bill- CP is doing sessions, but not doing any teaching, save some clinics.

You guys blew me away at the NAMM show, I hadn’t heard of you prior. I’m a huge fusion fanatic and found your music exhillerating. Even with just the guy in the upside down bar stool. Too funny. Anyway I’m officially one of your fans now and would dearly love to catch a show somewhere.

Also, are your CDs available in CD store (what’s left of CD stores I mean)

Awesome songwriting and musicians!!!

Mike

Hi Tim- there aren’t any gigs on the calendar right this second. While that’s a bummer in one sense, we’re hoping that we can get a little time to work on a record. Fingers crossed.

Hello from Greece,

First of all, I don’t know if and how often Mr. Poland actually reads every comment here, but just in case, you’re an incredible guitar player and a huge inspiration… thanks for being out there! And thanks for having us take a look at your guitars and gear too…

Now, when it comes to the great Yamaha guitar that Chris is playing… I saw the video explaining that he uses a stock Yamaha humbucker on the neck position, and an ESP one (neck again) for the bridge position. Since that this is a rare and difficult to try setup (I don’t even know the names of these models), could anybody recommend a Hum-Hum pickup combination (of any brand(s), but specific models) similar to the one Chris uses? It would be good if the pickups’ outputs were similar to Chris’ again (7.5K and 13K respectively).

Apart from that, on the Di Marzio site it is stated that Chris has used the EJ Custom neck and bridge pickups. Does anyone know in which guitar, and how would he compare it to his HH set on his Yamaha?

P.S. Can anyone inform us about how he gets his Jan Hammer style tone as well (I mean, except for the fact that he has mastered the technique to make his fingers sound like the wheel on the keyboard)? Does he switch his “tone knob” pedal and a wah at a certain position?
