For those a little late to the party, there’s obviously a fairly big chunk of this video missing from the start that I unfortunately had to remove after a misunderstanding over being allowed to film. I thought I’d edit it out (using TH-cam’s internal editor 😵💫) and post again though as there’s still some cool info about the Les Paul Custom as well as a stunning example from 1957 🖤 Thanks for watching.
Great work ! Love your playing. Last jam sounds like the "Madagascar" solo, from GnR' Chineese Democracy.
went to pmt in manchester today and couldnt believe it when when chris buck was playing some tunes in there i was abit over awed and shy but chris asked my name and shook my hand.From the little time i was with him wow what a skilled guitarist but more importantly what a sincere warm and genuine guy. Im telling you it was a pleasure to meet him i didnt tell him i have a terminal disease but thankyou for making my day.
I will pray for you.
@@zitherzon2121yeah don’t worry about the drugs or treatment.
Be good to yourself. I hope things work out as best they can for you. X
@@SquidgyPickle Thanks. I have extra.
My 1974 20th anniversary Black Beauty Custom was the finest axe I ever owned. I bought it with gig money, lawn mowing money, and pizza cook money earned over the previous 2 years. It changed my life, and I've been that 18 year guitar player ever since ! Rock On Chris, keep living the dream ! 🎸
Do you still have it?
I bought my 74 20th anniversary back in 1984 in Newcastle, England. All nickel hardware, 2 pick ups, Schaller keys, gold knobs but a horrible little toggle switch down near the volume controls that doesn't do anything. Whoever had it before me certainly worked it hard! Cost me £600.
I still have my ‘74! Bought it from a music store in SF around 1975. I won’t tell you what I traded in for it.😢 One of the salesmen said it had belonged to Neal Schon before they got it. Even then he was going through guitars like crazy.😉
"There was a time" jam at the end was amazing !
I am always left in awe with your playing! 👏👏👏
This is awesome! Frampton’s Les Paul has always been one of my favorites
Wonderful to hear someone playing without heavy overdrive for a change...like the old days...😁👍🎸
yeas!!
Somehow it doesn't seem to matter what you play, it all sounds absolutely amazing!
There are few guitar players that you can immediately tell who it is just from a couple of notes (ie slash,mark knoffler,David Gilmour).I honestly think you are well on your way to becoming one of those players. Your choice of notes / phrasing is very unique.
Your an inspiration to me and many others I’m sure
Keep up the good work Chris 🎸🎸
I’d actually say that Chris’s lead lines are actually harder to mimic, then Slash or Gilmour’s even, with Knoppfler’s tone depending on what song.
I think he’s already there in terms of ability. I think he just isn’t nearly as famous or popular
Couldn't agree more
Ritchie Blackmore is another that is like that. Freakishly unique. Yngwie was too - for a few years. Back then nobody could really do what he was doing. I remember us all wondering how it was even humanly possible, plus he had a freaky way of bending notes and playing melodies etc (it was not just about speed with him). Every Tom, Dick, and Harry set to work trying to learn it. He had a massive impact.
3:20 just brought a massive smile on my face the whole jam was fantastic but from that part to the change of the pick up was so great!!!
Framptons custom is definitely an iconic guitar. I also loved Brian Robertson's 2 pickup custom. For many years I had a 3 pickup Artisan. Lovely guitar with T tops and I believe it had a maple top on the body. Would love to see you look at one of them sometime. Great playing as usual 👍
Some mighty inspired playing on that '57! What a unique-sounding Les Paul.
There was a time to close it out. So awesome!!!
Very very cool! I d love to play that one too....
I bought a new 1968 in early 1969. Still have it. Awesome guitar.
Pete let you play his Axe. Chris man you been working hard and is great to see this video. And Cardinal Black is a River of Soul. and a Joy to the ears.
Thanks for explaining the electronics. I had no idea how that 3 pickup model worked. That bridge/middle position is just brilliant, the out of phase-ish effect is glorious. A bit like greeny. Great video
It varies depending on the guitar. Frampton's is wired differently
Personally i love how captain kirks sig is set up
Interesting info--But Astounding playing--as usual. I didn't think it possible, but I think you are even getting better! Stay Well Groovy Dude.
Peter Frampton was my first concert. He was awesome. In hindsight still one of the best shows I've seen. I saw a recent u tube video and he still is!
Chris, keep playing on! Your phrasing and chord bends bring so much flavor to everything you play!
Great video and even greater playing! Your playing never ceases to bring a smile to my face and an "oh wow" moment or two. I bet Peter felt the same way when he heard you playing his guitar. The flame is still alive in you Chris! God bless and rock on 👍😎🎸
That guitar and your playing 😱
Hi Chris, nice meeting you today at PMT Manchester enjoyed chatting with you, we were both eying the Frampton Phenix on the wall and here you are playing the real thing lucky boy lol, sorry I couldn't stay hope it went well today Ged
I love that so much of that Frampton live sound, was phaser and/or vocoder, through the Les Paul.
Love the tone, when playing with the keys.
Not vocorder"Heil Talk Box" it rattled Your teeth.. for real
Joe Walsh"Rocky mountain way"-Heil Talk Box,Joe Perry "WalkThisWay"-Heil Talk Box
The way these guitars look always does something to me. I have a 2007 57 reissue 3 pickup black beauty Les paul myself, and I consider myself very lucky indeed to own it
Everytime I open that case....WOW
And what a beast to play
Great video and inspiring playing as always 👍👍👍
I knew what it was immediately. That is an amazing Black Beauty. Congratulations on your purchase. That is how a guitar is supposed to sound. Another off the charts demonstration of your abilities. Thank you very much.
What an amazing sounding guitar!
I've discovered Chris revently via Paul Davids channel.
I have to say, what a guitarist he is!
Absolutely incredible technique, so so musical, just a pleasure to listen to every time.
I love that quacky sound so much I installed a middle pickup in my explorer. Flipped the magnet in it so it's out of phase like an old custom. And man I can get that Dick Dale pipeline tone it's so beautiful and then flip the switch and shred. It's so versatile it's unreal.
No way! That must have been so exciting for you - thanks for sharing!
Wow that middle selection sound. So unique and musical…
You just might be the best and most original blues rock guitar player currently!
Love the intro and outros, and of course, all the knowledge shared in between. Cheers.
I bought one of the last original 1968s in early 1969. Still have it - Awesome guitar.
I saw you on that stage in Glasgow. Great gig, and brilliant to see Peter with the Phenix.
Great video Chris, you are an amazing player and congrats on playing the Pheonix, Kudos
My first guitar teacher had a gibson black beauty 20th anniversary . I just drooled over that guitar . Until this day if I see a black les paul custom it brings back those magical days !
A notable difference in the 1968 Custom is that it had a maple cap. In that respect, it’s sort of a hybrid between the solid mahogany Custom and a Burst. Cheers!
Wonderful!! You speak of love!! Congrats 👏👏👏🤟🤟💯❤️❤️🎸🎸🎸🤗🇮🇹
Great video .....Outstanding outro lead/melody !
How could you not play Do You Feel Like I Do on that? I couldn’t resist!
Amazing guitar, amazing player!! Nice one Chris 🥇👍
Just add a note here. Not only were the PAFs installed on Frampton's the wiring is different. Essentially his is a two pickup les paul wiring, but through single Vol and tone (the "bridge" position ones). Then the middle pickup is essentially always on but controlled through the other Vol and tone. Thus way Peter gets tones not available from a normal set up. Ie middle only, middle with neck, all three etc.
I think it likely this was due to the retro fit of the three humbuckers, you'd need a special switchcraft model switch for the factory version obviously the 54 would not have originally had that so the wiring was a how to solution at the time.
I have an 1981 G.L.P.C. Black Beauty . Love the Sound.
Hello Chris Buck. Thank you for this historically edifying installment. I really appreciate your playing, you do it so well! And you aren't using any distortion/fuzz which allows me to hear your pickups. Look forward to your following videos. Cheers.
I had a real 58 just like that when I was 15 back in the 70s. Traded it in after a couple of years...and it went to Steve Clark from Def Leppard...
That intro was some of the best finger picking control and tone I’ve ever seen.
Very impressed!
Good God man!!!!! Your right hand technique is awesome….. Oh yeah nice guitars too !!!!
You've played so fantastic, always amazing, thank you!
Chris you are such a brilliant player ❤❤❤❤
Nice shot Chris💣🎸👋❤💪👍😊
His playing is astronomically insane
Yeah me too Chris fabulous nailed it as ever ! I mean you nailed it and I learnt from your knowledge but adore your skills as a player !
Bit of magic in that out-tro CB..
You are one my favorite guitar players when you play a strat. You sound amazing when you play other guitars, too but strat makes you sound like you are speaking your native language.
I totally agree!
wow, so smooth!!!! one of the best player that i've ever seen
I sold my Les Paul black custom earlier this year. Okay, it was only an Epiphone but damn good looking and a pleasure to own it. For some reason it didn’t sound so sweet! 😜 (even before I lost the use of a few fingers).
Tremendous video. 🍺
Hi Chris, I need to get that App. Will be in touch is due course. 🍺
Great vid all around. Always interesting insight and hearing you play is always a pleasure. Thanks for continuing to make them for us.... that outro was siiiick!!!
The intro playing on this video is some the of the best blues playing I've heard that wasn't Derek Trucks, and that's saying something. Absolutely stunning.
Absolutely incredible 👏
I have a MIJ knock off from 70s. It's still beautiful.
I acquired my dream axe, a 1977 LP Custom last year. Changed my guitar life! Best playing and sounding LP I’ve ever owned. Factory chrome hardware as well
Was fortunate to snap up a 2020 LP Custom right from the factory through Reverb. It only has 2 pickups; but it is a custom shop "demo' marked instrument. Gorgeous gloss ebony/gold with an equally superb setup and sound! Now, just to play it 1/10th as good as Chris!!
Wow just when I thought your tone couldn't get better. This guitar REALLY suited you! If any guitar player deserves to have 90k sat in the next guitar budget pot you do haha
Great information and superb playing of the Fretless Wonder! They’re an underrated model and overshadowed by the more famous and coveted Burst, but every bit as impressive.
Amazing! Once again. Nobody plays like Chris!
insane outro man
Somebody with money needs to buy you that guitar! It won't be me though. I'm poor. Love your playing and your videos! Keep up the magic!
Loved that outro jam man!
Such Smooth and clear and adding also that Grit, WOW you play so Beautifully Outstanding, WOW Babe, The Phoenix Beautiful💙💙💙 Lisa Einsohn Amazing, Lines on that Guitar❤️
There Was A Tiiiiiiime! Great video & jams! ;)
You absolutely wrecked that Les Paul at the end :-) As Craig would say, fab-you-luss.
Thanks well explained difference that I can hear, the 3 pickups really does make this so different . Cheers ❤😊
Excellent
Lusted after a three pickup Les Paul as a teen but I never realised the middle position wasn't all three pickups! Great story Chris and awesome playing.
Awesome stuff Chris!! 👏
Wow glad I tuned in ,worth the price of admission ✌🏻🎸🎶
Beautiful GNR reference at the end.
Really enjoyable - the playing, of course, but also the tour of the 3 pick-ups - I was never quite sure how that all worked! I still have my 1968 LP Custom, I bought it off a friend in NZ around 1974 and it was my one and only guitar for recording and live work till 1982 when the band imploded! Still love playing it - all original pick-ups etc. frets are virtually non-existent but that's perfectly fine by me 😀
Lucky for you to play it,,,,,,,,,,,,.........but,,,,,,,,,,,,the outro run,,,..................wow,,,,,,brilliant!....land o' lakes,wi..usa.
Greenys always gonna be my fav
Recognized the solo at the end: Guns n Roses, There was a Time. Chinese democracy, underrated album if you ask me, There was a time, This I love especially feature class A guitar solos
Oh those goose bumps at 5:16
It's worth noting the wiring on the Phenix is different to the '57 model you demoed. On Frampton's the middle pickup is not wired to the switch but is blended in using one of the pair of vol/tone pots, the two outside pickups sharing the other vol/tone
Saw you play at the Royal Albert Hall the other week, amazing show!! ✌🏼🎸
Merci beaucoup.
Soooo nice playing 🥺
beautiful guitar, but honestly everything this man touches turns into gold
It seemed to me that you play that guitar in a totally different way.Your string attack as well as to what, where and how you were fretting notes not only looked different physically but sounds sonically different to.Wicked awesome.
Very interesting 👍🎸🎶
Lol, judging by the thumbnail, I thought you had a Buckethead Les Paul. 😂. I was like “this will be interesting “.
0:56 this is so awesome
Great Playing and thats a Beautiful Guitar too.
I believe so too.
I have a '68 Custom Reissue. It wasn't perfect from the factory, but I've corrected it, and now it's great. They definitely haven't perfected their final setup quality control.
I once owned a 69 Custom Black Beauty w/gold hardware, two PAF pickups. It truly was a fretless wonder & was HEAVY! It sounded fabulous & effortless fretting, made it likely the best guitar I will have owned. Almost no wear on frets & in mint condition. I decided to sell it, regrettably, as I was getting married & needed some $$$. I had three others guitars...a "61 Guild Starfire II & two melody makers of 60ish vintage, one double & one single cutaway. Should have kept the axe & ditched the woman, but at the time, it seemed the right move. Since, I have not sold a guitar I owned, but did some trades.
That sounded Christmassey, a versatile guitar. Thanks for the LP history lesson. Cheers!
Chris buck is an amazing guitarist. It would be awesome to see rhett shull and chris do a guitar battle.
Cheers Chris enjoy your weekend
That guitar and Robbo's one on the cover of Live and Dangerous is, why I craved and finally bought a black LP Custom
