That 335 solo might literally be the best playing I've heard on youtube. Seriously incredible playing!
Just watched it and it melted my face 🎸🔥
Agree. So much emotion. Fucking Awesome!!!!
Your guitar playing is to die for. Help meeeeeeee
Aha! Cheers Mary. It’s all mimed really 😉 I hope you’re well x
Aye the playing is gorgeous! What separates his playing from anyone else's (in my humble opinion) is his repeating of melodic motifs. It makes it seem like I'm listening to someone sing. Btw mary, you're amazing in your own regard! Your fingerpicking style is most enjoyable to listen to :)
@@ChrisBuckGuitar mate, you're such an inspiration to me! When I thought that there were not many guitarists giving me goosebumps, just shredding here and there, I came across with your videos... Mate, just keep doing it please! There are thousands of instructional videos online, but not many jamming and performing like yours... this is fantastic! Your videos and guitar playing made my lockdown so much easier to cope with! I'm trying to do fingerstyle just like you! What a beast! SMASHING!
Word! The solo at 9:37 is one of a handful reasons why my sanity is still a thing in 2020. THANK YOU FOR THAT!
Amen Mary!
That solo with the Origin pedal was incredible
Holy Smokes! Almost pulled my credit card out lol.
@@mrredritehand Likewise, then I promptly put it back when I saw the price.
I can't remember looping any other fraction of a TH-cam video as I've done (and still do) as on this solo. Un-f-word-real!
That opening jam might be my all time favorite
‘More twists than a Chubby Checker convention’ 😂😂😂. Class 🏴
Chris that song and solo you played at 9:38 better be a future Buck & Evans song! Amazing!!
Chris I need to have that on loop on Spotify. You'll get a zillion streams from me! Doeeeet!!!!
I honestly only watch his videos to see him play . I love all of the space he leaves in the leads he plays and I’ve honestly never heard anyone bend notes the way he does and his touch !
He’s the only one I watch to hear him play his style and not repeat others player’s famous licks.
He’s truly an original as far as I’m concerned
Magnatones were all over the place in L.A. studios in the 50’s and 60’s and are on 1000’s of hit records.
Stylish playing as always. No other YT player has a voice to their playing quite as unique and original.
Amen
He’s got so many years ahead of him too, I feel like one day we’ll look back and think of him as one of the heroes of guitar
That playing on the 335 was some of the best I've heard you do. And that's saying something.
Saying something indeed... Chris never fails to blow me away with his playing, as well as his enthusiasm for detail in the subject..VOTE CHRIS BUCK!!..you know it makes sense 😁
One of the best I’ve ever heard anyone do.
You’re a fine player Chris. I’ve played over 50 years now and get so involved listening to you I forget what the original subject was. Nice.
I have had a 1966 Magnatone Estey for 30 years and love it.
"whereas a Troubador of similar vintage, you're gonna be looking at between 800 and 1200 pounds..." until this demo. :-D
LOL! True!
Fretted Americana?! For like 8 years of demoing that amp
Yeah, Phil X has was raving about these years ago. Think he said they were originally aimed at a different instrument, only can’t remember what.
@@ajs808 that was the magnatone tomemaster. Originally an accordion amp.
@@bdhere1 That’s what I was thinking of, thanks
The 2x12 Twighter, which is stereo with with multiple Wet and Dry options, sounds fucking amazing.
They have other stereo amps, but I don’t know if any have the Wet/Dry options like the Twilighter.
Didnt they make a remake called evil robot?
I’m 24 and well aware of Magnatone amps trought my hero Lonnie Mack who played one on his ‘63 sessions for songs such Wham... I was always fascinated by that tone that was not coming, but bleeding out of that amp. Absolute classic.
The 2x12 Twilighter has some killer stereo options to fully take advantage of the Vibrato.
The amps are amazing.
Got to see lonnie back in the 80s and loved his V as well.
What makes me laugh Chris, is that in your hands, EVERYTHING sounds magnificent. Your touch is more soulful and expressive than any other player I know of right now. You need to intercut your commentary with me playing whatever you're demonstrating. I don't think the praise would be quite so high!
This guy can play....great info talking about equipment/history etc. and backs it up with fabulous playing. My new favorite channel to watch.
What ever gear is being discussed or reviewed, I’m always far more impressed with Chris Bucks playing and tone. Just brilliant. 🎸
That amp is truly outstanding and what's more, that pedal is an amazing capture of the amp's sound. Brilliant playing on this episode too Chris. Magic in my ears.
A warm blanket of tone, incredible.
Greetings Chris Buck!
My first amplifier was a 1952 Magnatone that was paired with a matching slide guitar. It had originally been one of my Uncle’s, and I began playing with it at my Grandparent’s house when I was very young. When I was seven or eight years old, Grandma let me take it home. It was smaller than the Troubadour and had a blue Pearloid finish the matched the guitar and had an island scene with a sailboat stitched onto the grill cloth which covered a single eight (8) or ten (10) inch speaker. It was my Uncle Joel’s and he engraved his name on it before he had given up playing. It was a great little amplifier, which I used later on to drive a fifteen (15) inch JBL speaker in a Voice of the Theater cabinet. Later on it was stolen after I had graduated from for about a year. I still own the slide guitar and had it rewired, replaced the ferrules, and installed Grovers on the machine head. It still works great, but I still miss the amp that went with it. Currently I have a bunch of amplifiers, but I still wish I had that old Magnatone, it didn’t have all the bells and whistles that the Troubadour has, but it still sounded great. The new Magnatone Amplifier’s are a bit expensive for my budget, but I sure would like to test drive one someday. Now that you turned me on to the Troubadour, I will be keeping my eye out for one. I might look into the pedal too, it may be more affordable. Thank you for posting this video! Please have an excellent and awesome day! 😎👍
Now this overdrive is THE BEST one i've ever heard!
I stand by my comment on Paul Davids video - watching you is like watching Jeff Beck 2.0. Sublime.
PFFFFFF, Chris's playing.... Every note straight up hits the soul.
My Lord man!! That thing sweats and you’ve got power in those hands.
Your playing on the 335 and the Origin pedal is otherworldly. Like The Beatles on steroids!
Yes! Exactly right!!!
Love these vids, always look forward to Fridays!
Great sounding amp, pedal and playing.
Great to see Magnatone getting some love. I've been intrigued by them since seeing one on Fretted Americana years ago. Incredible playing as usual, Chris!
Incredibly inspired playing !!!! CB is always good but there's some great stuff here. Thanks !
I have a friend and old bandleader who has one of these at his home that I use every time I’m over. It’s the greatest tube amp I’ve ever played through. Warm cleans for days.
The jams in this video are just pure pleasure!
Thank you!
9:38 onwards!! Such intensity and finesse.
Well done, I have a 1960 Troubdour 213 and love it as well, my tech made one mod to brighten it up a little and I could not be happier.
Goodness all around with playing and history! Thank you!
I have heard of Magnatone . In San Francisco in 1966 I was a beginner walking home with my rented Classical guitar in my neighborhood a man named Louie Borello was a distributor of Magnatone Amps, he invited me in his house and showed me a Magnatone amp and some catalog sheets. He said when I got more experienced I could buy a Magnatone Amplifier. Also i read in the Newspaper that Louie was a survivor of the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake
I known of Magnatone Amps all my life. Made here in Los Ángeles way back when!
Not all British people are as ignorant as Buck , honest.
@@shaunw9270 I'm not saying his ignorant. I just stated as an American guitarist since 1979 I've known of this brand.
@ I know you're not my friend. 👍
@@shaunw9270 To each his own. Much love from the Lord.
some are born to listen and some are born to play.....
proof is in the pickn.
thanx Chris
Parts of that vid sounded better than most studio albums.
Amazing demo and video. Thank you
I am addicted to your channel because of your playing
Loved all the playing as usual. Ya great big show aff!
That Yamaha with p90s is insane, looks great and sounds awesome!
I knew about them from Billy Gibbons but it was cool to hear about their history. Thanks for another interesting video Chris!
Friday date nights with my wife have begun to include watching Friday Fretworks together :-) Tonight ... she was _blown away_!!! (as was I). Thank you, again, Chris!!!
What a beautiful tone, P-90 just creamy through Magnatone on every setting, excellent amp!
man, you just gave me chills in that solo on that 335 :D dammmm ;)
Holy schnauzerz and all that! Damn you just blew me away at 7:20 time, well has been leading up to here. Had to pause, take a moment and collect and send you this. Thank you for all you do Chris, Chris...Richie that is 😎🤟✌
That solo from 09:39 . Sounds absolutely stunning.
Lovely Tones ... And fantastic overdrive Tones ... Great playing Chris.. enjoy your weekend ✌️🙂
Can't help but watch your brilliant right hand after last week's FF! 😆Stellar playing in the intro as always.
Sweet playing!
Good show ! Brilliant!
Hell yeah! I have a 1961 Magnatone Custom 262, and it’s the best amp I’ve ever heard. I’m happy to see more folks get into Maggies, they’re incredible! As always, wicked playing!
.....ok....@9:37.....seriously....? You already had my vote Chris! 😁 Gotta see you live one of these days, mate. Great work!
thx Chris !
Got my vote Chris. Beautiful sounding amp.
Love it. No one talks about them, but they're some of the best amps. I have a "student" model 118 from 1959. Surprisingly affordable but doesn't have reverb or vibrato. Cranked it sounds great and rolled back it has a great jazz tone.
Great playing man!
Everyone in the world: “Heard”
Chris: “Hyuerd”
I'm always amazed, not only by how much cool stuff you never heard of, but also that you seem to thinks nobody else has ever heard of Magnatone or P90s. It kinda cute, actually.
Great video!
I don’t really know much about your work outside of Freddy Fred works but I always enjoy your intelligent polite presentations. And you have a completely unique style the way you mix the pic in the fingers the rakes and the slides and just a lovely for Brado in town. Definitely will figure out how to vote for you
Wow that sound and that playing was insane good.
My days! Epic solo with the magma 57 🙌🏼
Awesome Sauce!
The trem circuit on vintage Gibson amps isn't too shabby either..I own 2, a Falcon and a Discoverer, and the tremolo on both of them is stellar...
Great vid and beautiful playing, as ever...And it's always a treat to hear how you pronounce "heard"...
Just bought one of these, stoked!
I’ve had their Panoramic Stereo combo for a couple of years now and it’s fabulous.
Phil X made these famous for a short while until he discovered Friedman amps. They had a recreation of it called the, "Tone Master". There were some copyright issues from that name so they renamed it the, "Evil Robot".
Phil has the Tonemaster which is made by Magnatone and made a copy called the Tonemonster but like you said there was a copyright issue so named it the Evil Robot.
That pedal sounds phenomenal
Glorious Chris buddy!
I've got some great Magnatone amp stories. My own Magnatone was made for an accordion teacher, so it has a guitar input, a mic input and an accordion input for differing levels of gain and tone.
love it mate
We’ve known about magnatones for decades. ;) Nice demo/playing.
I’m jealous of your playing, but I have to smile and laugh at how easy it looks when you play 😊 Crazy cool sounding amp!
My Friday night fix is sated here in Cardiff. Love that sound.i heard Peter Green coming through.
Yeah, that's what I'm talkin' about. Solo from 9:34 to 11:00 is F~I~R~E !!
That pedal captures the Magnatone warble very well. I have a vintage Magnatone 262 that is mint. 2x12's and 2 6L6's. Completely point to point. It can sound like a Leslie Speaker easily. Subbed.
Bloody HELL. Your playing is awesome man.
Great job on that es 335
I really love the Stereo 2x12 Twilighter, with the multiple Vibrato options for the Wet and Dry signals.
I too was unfamiliar with the Magnatone brand, so much so that I kinda glazed over while watching this video years ago. I’ve since become interested since learning it’s a vintage brand
I wouldn’t be surprised to find out that I walked past one or more of these when I was younger, without giving them a thought, and might have gotten a good deal on one!
Magnificent!
Love the RevStar...I got one and it's kicked my Les Traditional off the wall and my Strat is getting dusty. Thanks for promoting the RevStar. As always, incredible play.
really like your guitar style... aspects of your playing are unique.
That intro jam is awesome!
Very tasty playing! I found this clip while looking for sounds of a Starlite 431 that I inherited but haven't taken delivery of yet.
Congrats on the success that u have experienced so far!! More will come,just stay true to yourself and your music. Stay away from the junk that has taken so many of the greats from us!!! Can’t believe how good that pedal sounds. Doesn’t sound like a pedal. Great playing as well!!
It was my first electric guitar amp 1966 it’s vintage very cool!!
The dynamics in your playing. My goodness.
The quintessential answer for that long sought sound.
Chris, you're costing me a bloody fortune, now i'm going to have to buy a Magnatone amp. ha ha ha. I think the Magnatone is the answer to the sound that i 've been looking for.
Amen Mary!
That Origin Jam was out of hand
NewtNuke absolutely out of hand 😂 good lord.
GOD DAMN that jam...
Voted! Keep doing what you do! Great pedal.... ;-)
Your pronunciation of 'He-ard' is interesting Chris, I have never heard it spoken thus! Yep these Magnatone amps have gained mystique!
Wales...
Phil X fans remember
That is a very impressive demo on the amp and pedal. I am familiar with magnatone but have never played one. By the way Gary Rossington uses a magnatone along with his peavey penta. Story goes that Billy Gibbons gave him a Magnatone when they were on tour together.
Brilliant stuff, Chris. The history section was very enlightening. I was wondering if you were ever going to mention Neil Young.😉 Of course he’s been using Magnatones for many years. The Magna57 pedal has got to be one of the most amazing pedals I’ve ever heard. Instant classic. It sounds amazing in every demo I’ve heard.
