Hi, I’m Chris Basener — guitarist, composer, and independent artist.

I’ve played everything from tiny clubs to major arenas. My music’s been featured on BBC, ITV+, Comedy Central, and more. My instrumental rock project, JUNKYARD REBEL, hit over 500,000 streams in just 12 months.

After years of playing, writing, and recording — and with a degree from the Munich Guitar Institute — I’m now sharing the tools, insights, and techniques that helped me grow as a guitarist and independent artist.
