Description
"In this book, Chris says, 'Your yes is what the Lord is patiently waiting for.' I'm so thankful that Chris said yes when given the instruction to write this book, and I believe you, too, will be grateful for the YES as you read and receive revelation on the subject of restoring true identity ... I encourage you to read this book; to hear the heartbeat of the Father on its pages; and in the end, allow Jesus to restore true identity in your very own life."
- Dean Sikes, Founder, YouMatter Dean Sikes Ministries
"In Restoring True Identity, Chris Brooks blends his transparent journey with powerful revelation and scriptural application to write a profound testimony of hope for those in the body of Christ who need encouragement and strength ... This book will bring you hope!"
- Kevin Wallace, Senior Pastor, Redemption to the Nations, Chattanooga, Tennessee
Chris's work in RESTORING TRUE IDENTITY is a blend of personal testimony and Biblical definitions that highlight the Christian experience. It's relaxed but at the same time cuts into Christian purpose precisely... I highly recommend this work because there is excitement, setbacks, challenges, and victories x-rayed through the Word of God.
- Michael Lindon

Chris Brooks is a guitarist, educator and recording artist based in Sydney, Australia. What began as an obsession with 80s high octane lead guitar has, well, not changed at all.
A former student of the Australian Institute of Music, Brooks exhibited an early penchant for guitar-driven music, whether it was the sideman shredding of Kee Marcello and Brett Garsed, or the solo-artist career paths of Vinnie Moore, Steve Vai and Yngwie Malmsteen. The obligatory eight-hour practice sessions would be fuelled by lesson material from Hot Licks and REH videos as Brooks followed the trajectory to making his own guitar music and instructional content.
Releasing two solo albums, 2002's The Master Plan and 2011's The Axis of All Things, Chris has received acclaim from print and online media worldwide, including Japan where The Master Plan was included in Young Guitar magazine's 500 Essential Guitar Albums special issue, and back home in Australia where Australian Guitar magazine rated him one of the top underground guitarists.
Brooks has also recorded with Yngwie Malmsteen's former vocalist Mark Boals, Australian melodic metal band LORD, toured with major label band Feeding the Addiction, and appeared on compilation albums for labels including Frontiers (Europe), Marquee Inc. (Japan) and Liquid Note Records (UK).
As founder of guitarlickstore.com, Brooks has created popular guitar courses including Sweep Picking Systems for Arpeggios, Picking Systems for Pentatonic, and his most popular to date - The Yng Way, now available as a book entitled "Neoclassical Speed Strategies", published by Fundamental Changes and available on Amazon. The Yng Way has been noted by many as a leading resource on the technique of Yngwie Malmsteen.
With a keen eye for the details of what makes things work on the guitar and an aversion to sleeping, Brooks is working towards a large body of educational resources and musical output.
