No disrespect at all to Chris (his solo here was my favorite, in fact), but may I humbly suggest listening to Jeff Beck's Cause We've Ended as Lovers, off the Blow by Blow album...
Thanks Paul for asking me to play! I’m sorry I didn’t play any bebop licks haha!! You seemed pretty disappointed :) It was a pleasure to hear all my friends play.
@@Pandamasque ah, cheers mate, I live what everyone else did as well, that’s the beauty of music, even with something as simple as this, we all sound totally different 🤓👍
• Tim Pierce: 2:25 • samuraiguitarist: 4:50 • Rick Beato: 7:10 • Rhett Shull: 10:00 • Pete Thorn: 12:48 • Music is Win: 15:29 • Peter Honoré: 18:22 • Daniel TheGigRig: 21:25 • Ben Levin: 24:14 • Chris Buck: 27:00 • Paul Davids: 29:08
After going through these a few times I was hearing what everyone else seems to be hearing. Chris Buck and Pete Thorn both have that special sauce in their playing. It's the dynamics and their ability to fluidly connect the notes like a singers voice. It's quite unbelievable. At this level all of these players are tremendous and I love to hear the ideas they all bring to the table.
Well ... was really amazed by every next player in this video. Really cool players and solos! So different approaches, but every one great. So Rabea ... would love to hear you in the next video, too! Thanks so much to everybody in this video!
Just the solos: 2:25 - Tim Pierce 4:51 - Samurai guitarist 7:11 - Rick Beato 9:59 - Rhett Shull 12:50 - Pete Thorn 15:32 - Music Is Win 18:23 - Danish Pete 21:28 - Dan Steinhardt 24:16 - Ben Levin 27:00 - Chris Buck 29:10 - Paul Davids
Chris Buck's playing was mind-blowing: beautiful dynamics, finger-picked and that first phrase is not impossible to play but you could spend hours trying to make it sound as good.
I love how Chris Buck is just playing a new Yamaha into a Helix into a laptop and has some of the sweetest tones imaginable. Goes to show I should get back to working on my playing instead of lusting for expensive and rare gear all the time.
@@mariodriessen9740 well the whole thing is it’s not the traditional stuff people think of for making good tones. Also compared to some vintage and high end gear, it is pretty cheap lol
@@BobJones-bh9qz ; Haha, I know. But for someone who has to save all his money for months to be able to purchase a fairly normal, but good enough pedal, it feels a bit harsh to call all this stuff a cheap solution for a great sound. But I’m not at all surprised that you can get some great tones out of that, especially when you can play like Chris. There’s absolutely a lot of truth in what they always say that sound is in your fingers. 😊
@@saelaird thats about taste mate.. although i also like them it´s a bit bullish to then say you have a good ear. Thank God we all have a different taste.
The Pete, Thorne, and Chris Buck solos just had a little something to them that grabbed my ear… The last eight bars of both solos sounded different than everybody else’s… I don’t think it’s a coincidence that people are picking out those two particular tracks
Who TF is Chris Buck, and why haven't I heard of him before this? In a video with genius level playing all around, that guy still stands out. Brilliant.
The old saying is that people like Steve Vai, EVH, David Gilmour can come and play your SHITTIEST gear, and STILL sound like themselves! The fingertips and heart are amazing things!❤️
The phrasing on Chris’s take is incredible. The way he drags and rushes to create tension is something I’d love to improve on. What great inspiration. I think the standard was really high across the board.
I gravitated to Pete also ..... all of them were 10,000 times better than anything I could ever do ,,, but the Strat sound and Pete's playing just moved me , that's all ...loved this
Chris bucks vibrato tone and slide control is just astonishing.. his decision to ascend into the peak of the solo when we were hanging for the descent resolve was the reason I won’t show this video to my wife
I love Tim’s “cockpit” gear room. Just enough room for his guitar neck, every knob, button, fader literally an arms length away. It’s cool to see how different and unique every persons music space is.
Danish Pete x Dutch Paul is not the duo we deserve, but the duo we need! Also, I love these videos, so inspiring, not even 8am and I'm ready to pick my guitar up and practice!
I've seen the back of Danish Pete's head at Andertons and Paul at a John Mayer concert, so I feel like I basically know them now. Not sure how this is related to your comment. Pretty terrible story, sorry.

He used to be a guitar player but he doesn't really keep up his playing as the primary thing so I guess to his standards he knows he could be a much better player than his current form.
For me it was Buck, Thorn and Larson as well. Each of them brought something unexpected but very musical to the track and had very good, very polished tone.
@@poio_cumbiero4770 My post was more about Rick being modest about not being a guitar player when he clearly is an excellent guitar player. Whether his version was the best is irrelevant and completely subjective.
He does it wrong. It's a whole step bend with a whole step slide into a rapid step and a half bend He does the whole step bend then slides the 2 and half step instead.
I just discovered Chris Buck today. I then found this video full of amazing guitar players and chris buck was on it...your reaction is the same as mine...incredible! Chris bucks video explanation had no edits...he organizes his thoughts into speech like flawlessly...just like his playing...wtf? is he human?
Chris Buck does "Friday Fretworks" most every week. He is on the ball in his style of presentation. He is not only a TH-camr putting up a show every week, but is also a touring musician. Chris Buck is in a league all his own!
@@olafnelsonduerksen9676 calling someone the greatest does not diminish the value of others. It merely sets rank :) As a guy who might be lucky to be in the top 50% of all guitar players (but probably in the bottom 25%), it doesn't hurt my feelings to know my inferiority to other players. It doesn't change the value of my playing at all. It just means you will probably never see my name on Billboard ;)
I've watched this a few times now, and still find Buck's playing amazing. The rest are phenomenal talents as well, including PAUL. It's odd that no one seemed to give him the praise he is due for his amazing playing, in addition to making this collab happen, and sharing it with the world. I tip my hat to you, Paul. Thank you.
Chris Buck is my favorite every time. Not like the rest weren’t amazing. They are! He has that BB king thing going on with the ability to say a lot with one note, then he has the ability to say one thing with a lot of bends and chords. The guy is the most tasteful player I’ve ever heard.
When you see 'one track, ten solos' from such talent you automatically start thinking 'whose will be best?' but what you discover is that you end up experiencing the genius of expression from adept artists of the guitar. Each artist had a unique and beautiful interpretation. I feel fortunate enough to be able to appreciate each one's voice and not feel any need to pick a winner. Just beautiful! Great concept, Paul.
Exactly. Picking a "best" is pointless, and I wouldn't even bother trying to determine a personal favorite. They were all very different in style, and I think that's why they were all really good-- each one had their own distinct musical personality.
I rewatched now like 100 times Chris Buck's rendition! It makes me want to learn to play the guitar like him, and to be able to have that Yamaha guitar also, it`s amazing! And the others, whom I also watch and follow, they are beatiful in their own way, but this solo, man,... that SOLO it is the natural theme or colors or dynamics to be played if it was released as a song to the masses!
Chris buck not only left Paul Davids speechless, but when Paul tried to play it he LITERALLY THREW IN THE TOWEL and said “it just doesn’t sound the same.” I’m a guitarist and now I know why you are envious of him @Paul Davids. Absolutely beautiful playing
What an awesome project. Thanks Paul. Every one of these guys did an absolutely amazing job. But I can't help picking my favorites, so for me it was: #3 - Danish Pete, #2 - Pete Thorn, #1 - Chris Buck. These guys all touched my soul.
Totally with you... they were all superb, and Dan is one of my favourite guitar people ever, but Pete Thorn and Chris Buck were the ones who forced me to rewind the video to listen to their solos again! 😍😍
I spend a lot of time on TH-cam, and this video is like Christmas morning when we were 9 years old: magic. Thank you so much, and please consider doing more like this.
@@carlmarks8170 What does me calling out your toxic remarks in a sarcastic fashion have to do with my ability as a guitar player. You know nothing about me, for all you know I dont even play guitar.
@@carlmarks8170 Who hurt you so bad in your life that you’re so sensitive to emotion that someone even mentioning it in a youtube comment has you wounded.
Ben Levin rules. No fancy amps behind him, no mood lighting, playing a Squier, no fancy ass music theory talk. He just played it, improvised to it like we all do. I freaking love you Ben, you are my favorite person ever right now! First take, pure feeling! You are my hero bro.
Chris Buck is in a class of his own. Simply superb! He is by far the most subtle and articulated guitarist there is. And what about that tone? Uplifting and inspiring.
Another thing that gets me about Chris is his playing sounds so decidedly modern in every good way. I can't explain it. It has all the soul and tradition of the entire history of the instrument but with such a refreshing take on it. I mean ofc there's bits and pieces that you recognize as his influences but it comes together in such a "new" way.
It was totally my favourite one. His solo seems to be in perfect harmony with the backing track, not just the notes but the feel and his tone. It was awesome.
I've listened to Chris Buck's solo twice now. Both times while listening, I got goosebumps all over my body. This is nothing against the other players. I watch most of their channels, and their knowledge is simply par with no one else. But when I go to Chris Buck's channel, I go to just be in awe of his playing. He never disappoints. He's always inspired. Like Kirk Fletcher, Josh Smith, and Robben Ford, every time I listen to Chris Buck, it makes me want to practice my ass off. I'm so grateful to live in a day and age where so many talented musicians can share their craft with the world without the red tape of the music industry biting into the flow of inspiration. Cheers to all of you. It has me choked up honest to god. I'm so lucky just to witness all of this beauty on a daily basis. Thank you from the bottom of my heart :')
I discovered Chris Buck's channel about two months ago. I must say, his playing in this video only scratches the surface of what he's capable of. I have never seen a player with such vocal-like phrasing.
That's a point. Some month's ago I was an LP-Player. Then I bought a Strat and started searching for inspiration. Found it with Chris Buck. Just amazing and Mindblowing playing. By the way, Paul is good too.
Happens to be my cousin went to see him at the memo when his band Buck and Evans reopened it a few years back and man I'm jealous of his musical ability 😂
wow everyone was amazing, I must say that I have met Chris Buck a few times and I loved that with all his skill he came across as really humble and respectful toward all the other musicians even though he absolutely shone like a star
Chris Buck's is just incredible...I must have watched it a dozen times with no lessening of emotional impact...oh my!! Second up for me was Pete Thorn, really thoughtful playing, great tones, just superb.
Yes exactly, I published my own cover with tabs in my humble channel few days ago, but when else better than the man himself could explain it?!?! Chris just released a video with in depth explanation of his solo!
Pete Thorn was the best for me, it really highlight the theme of the track for me personally and he made it quite exotic with the notes he choose to represent, the ending part was most spectacular and brings about the song completely.
This is a Masterclass in 'How to Professionally Approach Guitar Soloing' the information that everyone is giving up is worth its weight in gold 😄👍🏼 great great video.

Incredible playing as ever, Chris.
you are Vindaloo Chris :)
Absolutely achingly beautiful.
Chris - that was like a masterpiece in small frame; a miniature Vermeer...
Beautiful solo Mr Chris
Chris Buck's playing is about as close to hearing a guitar sing as I've ever experienced. Magical.
Got a big Derek trucks thing going on
100% true!
No disrespect at all to Chris (his solo here was my favorite, in fact), but may I humbly suggest listening to Jeff Beck's Cause We've Ended as Lovers, off the Blow by Blow album...
My bet? When Chris gets old they gonna call him CB King.
The sustain on that last note, my God
Thanks Paul for asking me to play! I’m sorry I didn’t play any bebop licks haha!! You seemed pretty disappointed :) It was a pleasure to hear all my friends play.
We still love you Rick ❤😆
Rick we love you!!!
Great job Rick!
Great solo, Rick.
@@shirazisam455 ouch..
Chris Buck just made Yamaha’s stock go up with that solo…just beautiful
No kidding- I just searched it up to buy- haha
And I bought! 😂
Thanks so much for having me participate, Paul! Miss ya, my friend!
That solo is such a soul ❤
Best solo and sound here, undisputable!
Must be in the name as you and Pete Honore were my faves
Wow, such an awesome solo, thank you for your music. It's hard to choose a favorite so I won't but your solo was especially moving for me. Thank you.
Almost cried on your solo! Great job!
Man, what an honor to be included on this list! Thank you Paul!
Well deserved Rhett!
As a big fan of simplicity, your tone was easily my favorite out of the lineup.
I loved your take!
You and Pete Thorn were definitely the standouts in that lineup. Well done.
Bro thank you. I loved your take.
This video really shows how wonderful it feels to play guitar. Everyone is digging deep and sounding beautiful, thank you for including me!
I like you Ben. You are a great music
You were great man! And 100% correct, you could really feel the soul put into each person's touch. Loved it
Ben, you’re so cool :D
Awesome solo! And I dug the Squier.
Beautiful!!
I rewatched Chris Buck‘s rendition like 10 times. That was mindblowing.

He’s truly remarkable
Yup
It is not a rendition, it may be another dimension...

Chris's solo is 35 seconds of pure gold. Subtle, exciting, nothing is superfluous, nothing is missing.
Chris Buck's solo is just genius. Extremely complex yet natural and simple at the same time. Kudos.
By far the best one IMO
Yep, it was perfectly placed, and the sound elevated that track nicely. Dude has killer ears.
Everything he does is amazing
He is amazing
He is an alien 😓😓
Everyone sounded fab, but Pete Thorne, Danish Pete and Chris Buck! WOW!
I agree Pete Thorne give me goosebumps
Totally agree and Paul’s at the end was killer too.
I love how Chris Buck is just playing a new Yamaha into a Helix into a laptop and has some of the sweetest tones imaginable. Goes to show I should get back to working on my playing instead of lusting for expensive and rare gear all the time.
There is nothing wrong "of lusting for expensive and rare gear" - but sometimes you only have to USE it *LOL*
Agree, been saying this for years. You can get some great tones with not much sparkle.

Chris Buck's was my favorite. He's got a great sense of feel and tone in his playing...
The guy's an absolute monster on guitar..
Agreed. Chris Buck just makes me smile. I don’t want to say “monster” because his playing is so beautiful. He’s like Orpheus
Yep on both, he killed it here
Beautiful tone on his guitar, and such tasteful playing.
ridiculously nice!
Chris buck's solo is one of the greatest solo I ever heard .. mind blowing. Tone, feel. Masterclass
Chris Buck's solo made me stop thinking about guitar and just listen to the song itself in such a beautiful way... the guy defines the term magic
Chris bucks vibrato tone and slide control is just astonishing.. his decision to ascend into the peak of the solo when we were hanging for the descent resolve was the reason I won’t show this video to my wife
I loved them all but I was starting to get bored with the Melody by the end. And then Chris started to play and blew my mind.
100%, best solo on this video IMO
And without a wall of gear - just straight into his laptop.
All fantastic but Chris Buck's solo is a thing of beauty.
+1 they were ALL great but I really loved Chris’s take.
I had forgotten how remarkable he is. His feel is amazing.
100% mate, his solo is by far the best one

Peter Honoré very soulful
Chris Buck killed it prob my fav.
Chris Bucks take was absolute perfection. It had it all!
“I’m not really a guitar player” is probably the funniest thing I’ve ever heard Rick Beato say.
For real! I call myself a guitar player and I can’t pull off half the pull offs he pulls off!
Yeah no kidding Rick is an absolute monster on the guitar and actually about everything he picks up and plays he's awesome!
Yeah Satriani noticed his playing so he’s accepted into the clubhouse.
@@LukeVidler well if satch noticed him... rick is now the vice president lmao
He used to be a guitar player but he doesn't really keep up his playing as the primary thing so I guess to his standards he knows he could be a much better player than his current form.
That Chris Buck take makes me want to cry - so lyrical, so beautiful. Just stunning. Loved Thorn and Larson too...
For me it was Buck, Thorn and Larson as well. Each of them brought something unexpected but very musical to the track and had very good, very polished tone.
Love how Rick Beato is always in teaching mode. What an amazing resource he’s been.
100% agree with you. He’s a living encyclopaedia. All that thanks to youtube.
excuse me, it's pronounced BeAAATo
Chris Buck always kills it. He knows how to make his solo sing in an emotional, dynamic way like no other! All the solos were great! Well done!!
Rick Beato: “I’m not really a guitar player!”

All good players, Paul you rock as much as all the others too :) Groetjes from Australia
I'd be more than happy to be not much of a guitar player if I could get what Rick did with this.
he did play pretty average tho
@@poio_cumbiero4770 My post was more about Rick being modest about not being a guitar player when he clearly is an excellent guitar player. Whether his version was the best is irrelevant and completely subjective.
Rick is being too humble, da man has chops for days and is a great teacher, artist, and ambassador for Rock and music. Thnx Rick.
That Chris Buck solo is better than some guitar players entire career !
I like how Chris does THAT and then thinks “I don’t know. Maybe one more take” before he realizes that the third take was sheer perfection.
Chris Buck takes it, even his interpretation was explained well, definitely what you would love to hear on this track, nice track too
Yeah, do several takes until you get one that sounds spontaneous
Attempts Chris Buck's opening lick - "I don't know, it doesn't sound the same." LOL
He does it wrong. It's a whole step bend with a whole step slide into a rapid step and a half bend
He does the whole step bend then slides the 2 and half step instead.
@@kalorakalora even when I do it right it doesn't sound like Chris lol
Chris Buck's playing is just sublime. Definitely the stand out piece of all of them
I've had Chris Buck's solo stuck in my head the last 24 hours and had to come back for more.
SAAAAME MAN!!!
same bro, I've listened to it at least 40 times
I can’t stop listening to it. It’s the most tasteful thing I’ve heard in a long time.
Paul looked like he fell in love with the man during that solo.
Pete and Chris's solos were the stand outs for me, Pete's especially.
Everyone's talking about Chris but for me its pete second Chris imo
I cant stop listening to Chris Bucks solo, its absolutely captivating
Same
He always sounds like Chris Buck,
Im one of the victims
I guess Chris Buck just won a few thousand more followers. That was incredible
They´re all amazing in their own way. But oh my, Chris Buck. Such an original guitarist and a wonderful human being.
I just discovered Chris Buck today. I then found this video full of amazing guitar players and chris buck was on it...your reaction is the same as mine...incredible! Chris bucks video explanation had no edits...he organizes his thoughts into speech like flawlessly...just like his playing...wtf? is he human?
Seems he's human in all the best ways.
Chris Buck does "Friday Fretworks" most every week. He is on the ball in his style of presentation.
He is not only a TH-camr putting up a show every week, but is also a touring musician.
Chris Buck is in a league all his own!
Holy moly CHRIS BUCK. That’s art.
I agree 1000%!
I think we’re engaged. 😍
By far the best. He was channeling John Mayer :)
Without depreciating the other artists, he is a great inspiration.
@@olafnelsonduerksen9676 calling someone the greatest does not diminish the value of others. It merely sets rank :) As a guy who might be lucky to be in the top 50% of all guitar players (but probably in the bottom 25%), it doesn't hurt my feelings to know my inferiority to other players. It doesn't change the value of my playing at all. It just means you will probably never see my name on Billboard ;)
Pete Thornes solo was beautiful! That chordal phrase was divine.
I loved Pete Thorn but... Chris Buck... man, did he play hauntingly beautifully. Thanks.
I've watched this a few times now, and still find Buck's playing amazing. The rest are phenomenal talents as well, including PAUL. It's odd that no one seemed to give him the praise he is due for his amazing playing, in addition to making this collab happen, and sharing it with the world. I tip my hat to you, Paul. Thank you.
Everyone was great but Chris Buck is just from another world. Good lord that man can play.
Chris Buck is my favorite every time. Not like the rest weren’t amazing. They are!
He has that BB king thing going on with the ability to say a lot with one note, then he has the ability to say one thing with a lot of bends and chords. The guy is the most tasteful player I’ve ever heard.
When you see 'one track, ten solos' from such talent you automatically start thinking 'whose will be best?' but what you discover is that you end up experiencing the genius of expression from adept artists of the guitar. Each artist had a unique and beautiful interpretation. I feel fortunate enough to be able to appreciate each one's voice and not feel any need to pick a winner. Just beautiful! Great concept, Paul.
Paul made us all winners !
Exactly. Picking a "best" is pointless, and I wouldn't even bother trying to determine a personal favorite. They were all very different in style, and I think that's why they were all really good-- each one had their own distinct musical personality.
I rewatched now like 100 times Chris Buck's rendition! It makes me want to learn to play the guitar like him, and to be able to have that Yamaha guitar also, it`s amazing! And the others, whom I also watch and follow, they are beatiful in their own way, but this solo, man,... that SOLO it is the natural theme or colors or dynamics to be played if it was released as a song to the masses!
Chris Buck has a unique touch. Rick Beato and Pete Thorn also killed it. Everybody did great. All keepers.
If John Mayer and Derek Trucks had a baby, it'd be Chris Buck.
Yea I thought of trucks when I heard that solo also. In I go, researching Chris Buck 😃
Yeah that’s some quality offspring
Reminded me of Mateus Asato
Yeah I instantly thought of Mayer
Bold of you to think they haven't already.
Chris buck not only left Paul Davids speechless, but when Paul tried to play it he LITERALLY THREW IN THE TOWEL and said “it just doesn’t sound the same.” I’m a guitarist and now I know why you are envious of him @Paul Davids. Absolutely beautiful playing
What an awesome project. Thanks Paul. Every one of these guys did an absolutely amazing job. But I can't help picking my favorites, so for me it was: #3 - Danish Pete, #2 - Pete Thorn, #1 - Chris Buck. These guys all touched my soul.
Pete Thorn and Chris Buck had the tastiest licks throughout, but twas all good (-:
I agree
chris buck has to be one of my favorite "youtube guitarists" at the moment. great tone and always makes me feel something whenever he plays
Pete won it for me, although all very good.
They made my spine shiver lol Just g o r g e o u s
I absolutely agree!
Fantastic playing all 'round but Chris Buck and Pete Thorn on another level. What a great video.
Totally with you... they were all superb, and Dan is one of my favourite guitar people ever, but Pete Thorn and Chris Buck were the ones who forced me to rewind the video to listen to their solos again! 😍😍
I know everyone is commenting this, but everything about that Chris Buck solo was amazing
literally have been trying to play this solo for the last couple of hours. its so amazing. kind of have his helix patch down if anybody wants.
The definition of creamy
it was the best imo
@@Thomas-cw9ej no contest for me. Blew everyone else’s out of the water
Was about good as it gets.
Holy crap, that was a masterclass! Chris Buck is the big discovery for me here. And he got that tone going direct into his MacBook?! Major respect.
Who else came back for that Chris buck solo?
I keep coming back. I still can't believe how much can he takes you to a journey with only 8 bars.
here.
Totally
Had to do it over and over man it has that thing that has you hooked... it’s there
For a 57th time
I spend a lot of time on TH-cam, and this video is like Christmas morning when we were 9 years old: magic. Thank you so much, and please consider doing more like this.
I couldn't agree more!
I really think Chris Buck played something with such a perfect feel, tone, and original but proper vocabulary. Right up his alley, I’d say!
Chris Buck is the guitarist's guitarist. He is so subtle and every note is dripping with tonal beauty. Thanks for sharing Chris!
@@PureJadeKid He's unreal
Everyone created and played well.
Pete Thorn was my favorite here.
Nice collaboration! Among all the great musicians featured in this video, I have to admit that Chris Buck impressed me. Incredible talent.
Chris Buck made me fuckin' cry.
It's ok to cry.

@@carlmarks8170 What does me calling out your toxic remarks in a sarcastic fashion have to do with my ability as a guitar player. You know nothing about me, for all you know I dont even play guitar.
@@carlmarks8170 Who hurt you so bad in your life that you’re so sensitive to emotion that someone even mentioning it in a youtube comment has you wounded.
@@carlmarks8170 "Toughen up" the irony is huge.
Chris Buck, never heard of him but he was soo good
Do yourself a favour and check Chris channel
Chris' solo literally brought a tear to my eye.....
True story 😢
same here..
Ben Levin rules. No fancy amps behind him, no mood lighting, playing a Squier, no fancy ass music theory talk. He just played it, improvised to it like we all do. I freaking love you Ben, you are my favorite person ever right now! First take, pure feeling! You are my hero bro.
Chris Buck is in a class of his own. Simply superb! He is by far the most subtle and articulated guitarist there is. And what about that tone? Uplifting and inspiring.
Another thing that gets me about Chris is his playing sounds so decidedly modern in every good way. I can't explain it. It has all the soul and tradition of the entire history of the instrument but with such a refreshing take on it. I mean ofc there's bits and pieces that you recognize as his influences but it comes together in such a "new" way.
It was totally my favourite one. His solo seems to be in perfect harmony with the backing track, not just the notes but the feel and his tone. It was awesome.
My favourites: Pete Thorn, Chris Buck and Paul himself! Great challenge, great playing!
to me Chris Buck just nailed the feel with close second Pete Thorn!
Agreed.
Yeahh
👍🏼
Exactly my feelings.
Just found and listened to this and Chris Buck just made me cry!! Beautiful!

I've listened to Chris Buck's solo twice now. Both times while listening, I got goosebumps all over my body. This is nothing against the other players. I watch most of their channels, and their knowledge is simply par with no one else. But when I go to Chris Buck's channel, I go to just be in awe of his playing. He never disappoints. He's always inspired. Like Kirk Fletcher, Josh Smith, and Robben Ford, every time I listen to Chris Buck, it makes me want to practice my ass off. I'm so grateful to live in a day and age where so many talented musicians can share their craft with the world without the red tape of the music industry biting into the flow of inspiration. Cheers to all of you. It has me choked up honest to god. I'm so lucky just to witness all of this beauty on a daily basis. Thank you from the bottom of my heart :')
Totally
Hear, hear !
Same happened to me. Best thing is that i have never even heard the guy before. I sure have to listen to him after this.
Chris’ solo literally brought tears to my eyes. Unbelievable. What an awesome video by the way, such amazing players. Loved it!
I discovered Chris Buck's channel about two months ago. I must say, his playing in this video only scratches the surface of what he's capable of. I have never seen a player with such vocal-like phrasing.
@Thomas Grey yes, I saw him live back in 2006. I was stunned for the entire show!
That's a point. Some month's ago I was an LP-Player. Then I bought a Strat and started searching for inspiration. Found it with Chris Buck. Just amazing and Mindblowing playing.
By the way, Paul is good too.
Checkout Blake Mills
Happens to be my cousin went to see him at the memo when his band Buck and Evans reopened it a few years back and man I'm jealous of his musical ability 😂
wow everyone was amazing, I must say that I have met Chris Buck a few times and I loved that with all his skill he came across as really humble and respectful toward all the other musicians even though he absolutely shone like a star
Would love to hear Guthrie Govan's take on this.
SAME
John Mayer too...!!!
John Mayer, Mateus Asato and Guthrie Govan would play such beautiful takes !
@@KevisaVivose they SHOULD be on the next video on improv!!!!
Mateus Asato, Tom Bukovac.. let’s take it up another gear if that is even possible
Chris Buck got me melting like butter, incredible playing.
Chris Buck is an absolute master of feel. Never heard anything of his that didn’t make my hairs stand up. My goodness 🤤
Chris Buck absolutely killed it on this. Nice job. I would love to do one of these myself!
Everyone was so good, but Pete and Chris are just on another planet. Unreal.
Yep, perfect solos for the chord progression.
Yes
My favourites, in the following order:
1. All of them
So many different flavours brought to the table, incredible players all of them.
Chris Buck's is just incredible...I must have watched it a dozen times with no lessening of emotional impact...oh my!! Second up for me was Pete Thorn, really thoughtful playing, great tones, just superb.
Yes exactly, I published my own cover with tabs in my humble channel few days ago, but when else better than the man himself could explain it?!?! Chris just released a video with in depth explanation of his solo!
Pete Thorn was the best for me, it really highlight the theme of the track for me personally and he made it quite exotic with the notes he choose to represent, the ending part was most spectacular and brings about the song completely.
I couldn’t agree more… Although Chris Bach solo had something spectacular about it… Pete ending is so sweet
All were great, but the Chris Buck solo was goosebumps level of good.
Danish Pete and Chris Buck’s solo was my fave. Rhett Shull, and Pete thorn are awesome too.
This is a Masterclass in 'How to Professionally Approach Guitar Soloing' the information that everyone is giving up is worth its weight in gold 😄👍🏼 great great video.
I saved it in a playlist I have named 'Music theory'
exactly!
Chris Buck’s solo is world class. 27:00
