This album is filled with intricate guitar riffs that highlight the legendary guitar skills of Chris Shiflett. Having been in the band Foo Fighters, Chris has already made a name for himself and is now launching his solo career. A handful of tracks on this record have a grunge, raw, feel, while others lean to the Americana/Country feel. Hard Lessons gives listeners a variety of Chris’s abilities and skills as both an artist and a virtuosic guitarist.
