Who Is Chris Hendricks?

[SuperLu8]

he came to my school today.... love!! <3

[StarryDreamer28]

i have CP too and can really relate to Chris

[TheMaria1901]

Love you Chris from Maria!!!

[tmd3q1]

Would be perfect to actually see Chris play on stage at the Bridge School benefit concert one day. He could touch the hearts of so many kids with CP. He is an inspiration and the kids would relate to him. With his words and music so would everyone else. 

[On3c00ki3]

So glad I found this.. I met Chris at the bridge school benefit concert in Oct. He was sitting in the audience in front of my older kids and friends of mine ,when I was on stage he gave my friend a CD for my ten year old son Collin who is a student at the school here in Calif. We love the Cd and this song , Chris signed the CD to Collin and said to listen to this song #6 on the CD . His mom and Chris were very kind ... much love and success to you,Collin's mom,Robin

[jburroughs72179]

[fearlesslove7]

This is really amazing. He is an amazing musician and he seems like he has the biggest heart ever. The outside doesn't matter, its all about the inside, and this is where its at. It's really a big picker upper, and helps show us how we really can do and be anyone that we want to. God Bless and keep on jammin' <3

[MilisTilis]

[trace693]

Cris this is awesome,I have a 6yr old son with cp I would love to send you some pictures of him,he is getting to the age where it bothers him of his dissability

[TheJakeler]

I remember meeting this guy at the Best Buy he works at in Durham. My friend and I were just looking for recording software when he came up to us. I feel terrible because we didn't know of his disease and thought he was just some weird guy. He told us that he too made music and we just kinda took it with a grain of salt. I decided to look him up that night and was amazed with what I saw. This man is 10 times the musician I am and 20 times the person I'll ever be.

[velocojustei]

I saw this video when I went to ATF this year. It made me cry. Its really powerful.

[tirgerstripe4998]

He came to my school today

[duangjan2007]

Wow .. my tear almost falling lol .. thank you so much :)

[FajnieBylo]

Know your value, of himself telling the truth, you want to help those who have problems in life with your music, do not know you. I play and sing well, the music and singing are only two things in life, and I understand that I like.

[FajnieBylo]

You got what you need most in life, a friend who can help you always with all of you is harder than other people. I am happy that I can listen to your music and also the history of what you tell it. I would like to achieve in life as much as you. I greet and wish you every success.

[OMGawkwardTURTLE]

I'm just a student but I'd love to make a music video to one of your songs!!!! You're so amazing. I hope you go really far with music!

[ZAEL427]

Wow.. I had a tear in my eye :( I love your singing.. so keep it up and god bless you Chris ;)

[yano1337]

i hope that no one miss the like button ;)

[14ritwik]

@yano1337 i dint!!and hope no one does!

[rockaphoenix]

[smashingpumpkins4]

Wow- such a beautiful voice and guitar skills- and an amazing and inspirational person. I wish him all the best that life has to offer. Thank you for sharing this.

[OfficialChrisBurke]

This is so inspiring.

Chris is one great person and great musician.

So talented.

Keep up the good work!!

[jenseygrl]

My family is blessed to have befriended Chris, Aaron and Michael.

Chris is NOT a man to pity, he is a man to ENVY. God has given him the most amazing gift...not just musical talent, but an ability to reach into the soul of everyone who sees or hears him and leave them forever changed for the better.

Everyone wants to change the world. Few have the ability to. Chris is one of those people. He is sure to be a legend...remembered forever, long after his time on earth is through.

[MrFrEaKyD13]

[jodilawson3]

OH MAN!!!!!! Just got thumped n the head by God above!!!!! Not 2 minutes ago, I yelled @ my 10 yr. old son (also has CP) b/c he was having trouble getting dressed. We have worked & worked @ this. He will try & play anyone who'll fall 4 it. He is capable of the majority of his selfcare (blessing), & I lost it w/his whinning. All I wanted was time to sit & learn a song on this site. when I clicked it on, up popped this video. forgot 2 c frustration through his eyes 2. thnx 4 putting me n my place!

[florinpanther]

praise God

[supak108]

[Jannikebt]

Nice!

[TheClintastrophe]

wow, just heard this song, and immediatly got it on itunes. Very inspirational, keep at it man. Music abiltity and voice is amazing! You rock.

[SoonToBe951]

OmG this is bEaUtIfUlL raelly beautiful it almost made me cry love you Chris HendriCk i love your music and ya keep it up <3

YOU SHALL NOT BE Condemned :) lol i really dont know the meaning to this word but it soundz deep

[BGRIESMER]

That was awesome ill defiantly buy that when its on itunes great job man...> it would be awesome to put up some tabs for that song. Sounds like it would be fun to play

[mysticskie]

I'm a Physical Therapist and I can only wish that I could help my patients with cerebral palsy gain the level of independence that you have. You're wonderful Chris and you have such an awesome talent. More power, and may you continue to be an inspiration to people. God bless you. =)

[cybelleaya]

touching my heart ... god bless u always chris.. u r very talented..

[blackrainbowusmc]

chris is AMAZING :) WOOT !!!

[marktwain0591]

thanks man... you are really an inspiration and this brought tears to my eyes, not because of any sympathy but in respect. =)

[JR28951]

did he write that song?

[JR28951]

dude this guy is really good keep it up

[Clamhead939]

Very very inspirational. Its sad how people tend to only concentrate on the things they don't have and fail to realize what they were blessed to actually have. (A good education, growing up in a safe community, or even just being able to walk around freely every day.)

Would love a tutorial on Affliction. Really want to play it because it has such a powerful message.

[Bauer89081]

Awesome stuff man! The only suggestion I have is to brush your teeth after you eat the Cinnamon Toast Crunch.  That would just eliminate a step since you have to brush afterward anyways. Plus unless your using cinnamon toothpaste it screws with the taste pallet! Nice work though otherwise!

[penguin4ever42]

i really like the song affliction but i dont have enough money to get it on itunes. do u think u could post a vid of you playin that song?

[Clamhead939]

@penguin4ever42: Don't have enough money? Its only 99 cents. o__O

[tprince22]

This is one of the most awesome, inspirational and heart touching things I've ever watched. If Chris doesn't eventually land a major record deal and get his stuff out in the main stream then its going to be a damn shame.

[forayne]

definitely like this! Go chris :)

[musicismyheartnsoul]

Chris, I believe you will conquer the world with your music! you guys are amazing keep up the great work :D

[Benjaminradler]

Love this video, we need to hang out again soon. I can see everything is going really well with the album!

[superacecombat]

i just got home from seeing him perform at the open mic night at Falls River Music. He is so awesome! He is very inspirational.

[dragonbaby22]

thats so deep! man im covered in goose bumps! Chris u move all of use!

[DenDeanBE]

[rockstarbish15]

[DarlinNikki420]

Chris you are an inspiration! One of my best friends growing up was in your situation but was worse, I never saw his condition just his loving heart and sillyness! I love your voice by the way! * HUGS FROM CANADA*

[cassandratype4]

inspiring, makes me realize how insignificant my fears and obstacles are

[92gatorman]

this song is amazig and really hits home with me!!!! u should teach this song just the chords not necessarily the lyrics

[hushesthepuppies]

Wow that was just... AMAZING!!! I've been watching your videos since I started playing guitar (last year September) and they have helped A LOT :D I can see how much you've "improved" video wise, lol, the skill was always there.

Chris Hendricks, your roommate is a walking and singing inspiration to everyone. Seriously empowering music. You guys should keep this up. Great job on the video! This is one album I plan to buy, would it be available in Canada?

[robertdeuce]

[backtoharmony]

Dear Chris: You empower & enlighten everyone you interact with, especially me today - Thanks for that. This video is unbelievable, fantastic, wonderful & very professionally done. Your room mate Mary turned me onto your music indirectly as she commented on a video I made yesterday & as a result I checked out her site. So I'm guessing youre from Philly? Love your stuff.

[NenjiAvero]

Chris... I'd write more of a comment, but I can't see clearly 'cos of the tears...

You're the man.

[erika15b]

I love the song. I have alot of respect for Chris. Keep doing what your doing chris love all your songs.

[snipern0ob]

i love the song "affliction" i keep replaying it :)

[baadshepherd]

Amazing video, great editing. Chris, you are amazing.  I'm so glad you started making music and posting on youtube. Thanks for the tutorials as well.

[amnaiser]

This is a great video && song. Chris you have an amazing voice!! I love singing and am just now learning to play guitar. It is quite difficult and i have no idea what im doing but i watch your roomates videos and they help me out a lot. Anyways, Hope all is well. God bless. =)

[GreenSmog17]

wow, this is the best song i've heard of this by far, his album is mine!

[Brewerdin]

This song is going to be his biggest hit. Thus far anyhow, just an opinion.

[karielaine1]

This was really cute. I usually don't watch videos like this, but this one was really intriguing. I am glad yall are friends.

He seems super nice and a great singer.

(And greeattt videography here too!)

[STannerdemanner]

[HeatherSC02]

Chris is an inspiration to anyone. A friend of mine has cerebral palsy, so I know it from a friend point of view, but as a person with cystic fibrosis I can relate to what he says. Rock on Chris because we can do anything we set our mind to! You have an amazing talent!

[mhaynes5874]

[masterdiverstx]

Very Moving. How about a tutorial of Affliction?

[Dynamiteskillsx]

thats really great. I just watched the soloist today which kind of has a similar message, I think its great he doesnt let this stop him from stepping out and sharing his passion with people. chris hendricks = a real american idol

[SiggyMe]

Chris doesn't have a problem. The problem is others attempt to decide who Chris is and what he can do. Like your music.

[Vipblast]

I dunno why but that brought tears to my eyes...=)

[angelo212]

@Vipblast If that brought tears to your eyes and you have absolutely no idea why then you have a problem a lot worse then Chris's.

[Guitar1hero23]

@Vipblast same here dude

[HitchaRide93]

@Vipblast because this is an actual musician with an actual story. this is what we should be hearing on the radio everyday instead of catchy pop/techno songs. this is music. Keep it up Chris.

[fi5ke]

beautiful

[manthisisboring]

God gave may have given you disability but not only that. The talent to play guitar,sing and touch others heart with it.

[BrainBlast]

Touching

[SlimTim017]

you're strong... to have to deal with such a thing.. you're whole life..

keep being strong, and letting people know that others can be strong too..

i wanna thank ALL who read this comment, support people with these kind of problems and don't pick on them..
