I watch a lot of guitar based TH-cam clips and rarely comment. I'm over 60 and have been playing for over 50 years. You, young man have a beautiful, beautiful playing style and tone and are frickin' incredible. I wish you every success in your career. R.L.
Robert Lyon Lovely sentiment Robert. Chris Buck is very special indeed.... the soul of a poet.
Robert Lyon Super work with his volume knob! There are many excellent players on YT. Only a few “get it”. I’m 62, and have been immersed in the “biz” for 50 yrs (almost)
Now, set me up with that amp, and an early 60’s tele (rosewood board) and you’ve got MY dream rig!
(loose the wrist watch)
Peace
Truly a Strat master. Chris' confidence and aplomb with the knobs and switches - while never an intrusion to the soul of the music - never ceases to amaze. Great work.
Chris Buck really is a special player.
@@LickandRynn he tries to move away from strats but he can't coz nothing is better for his amazing style
Chris Buck, my favorite guitar player I've discovered in the past 5 years ...and I watch a lot of guitar players and live in Nashville.
Agreed he is a great player with an equaly great sound.
I've only discovered him on the last 5 weeks and slightly obsessed now. Sweetest tone and lovely touch.
Ha ha everyone has to throw in I live in Nashville. Different frequency range
That solo had Gilmour written all over it, booooootiful.
Happy or Girls?
Yep, my mind went straight to Comfortably Numb.
@@jankafka7330 this might be the best comment on the internet
My thoughts exactly
Which one ??
Nvrmind , went back and listened. It was something. But I'd say, it is all him . Buck !
This video just furthers my belief, that CB is set to move into the upper echelons of the great players.
I think of him in the same vein as Derek Trucks, John Mayer, Jeff Beck etc.
Chris really is world class ... I could listen to him endlessly.
I agree, many a time I have been astonished by his playing
thats high praise
I feel the need, the need for tweed.

Do it...I love my 5e3...my neighbors hate it though!
LoooooL "I was conducting foreign relations 🖕" 😆😆
I understood that reference.
@@tonetwinstv2863 that video is the reason that '5E3' is one of the searches in my Reverb feed.
Chris, I like the Yamaha but, man, when you pick up that Strat you move into the stratosphere (pun intended). Who else would buy an instrumental album of Chris on his Strat?
Fender should absolutely make Chris one of the faces of the company.
@@pancon5 I'm sure they (and many) are trying. But he should remain independent. Never sell your soul to help a corporation make even more money off of your work or talent.
me!
Yes please, Chris, instrumental album!!
He actually says his main guitar is a strat. He plays a highway 1 strat
I’ll say it again- Aggressive Elegance. That is your sound.
62 strat, 55 tweed and a guy who has the potential to be one of the greats
Whose parents probably weren't even born when that amp was made.
The only thing I dream about more than that combo is having a set of hands like yours.
and his good taste.
They don't even move without his brain
@@joshmuz9018 Hmmm... Challenge accepted! Watch out Chris' hands. =)
GET A ROOM!
Pretty much a dream rig Chris.
How many kidneys do you think I'd need to trade for the Strat?
HE is hereeeee!!!
Jesus Christ Chris.... No one plays with so much emotion. I can feel every note. Almost taste and live the very music you create. You sir... Are the God of your musical multiverse. Don't ever stop creating souls.
Is dynamics are insane. He knows the exact amount of aggression to play with at any given moment in the solo.
That first solo just about knocks you off your chair shaking your head in awe .
I love how he plays snippets of other people's styles at 5:10 (Hendrix, Joe Walsh, etc), but just enough to not get flagged for playing them (as his tone is so good, it would probably fool the content ID algorithm).
Such skill, such emotion, so much space. I'm hoping this isn't all learnt, I'm hoping there is a story, a pain that is the source of such great perceived emotion. God help us the day we can all just learn how to assimilate such true human emotion.
Anybody can learn where to put their fingers but that kind of playing has to come from the soul
when someone asked me about my favourite guitar players, I always answered „Jeff Beck and John Mayer“. Now there is a third one - it‘s you.
Is there a single negative (or even neutral) comment here? How many youtube videos can claim that. You're really special, man. Keep your cards close, and don't sell out. Stay true to what you have now, and defend it from those who will want to buy it from you. You're going to go far.
Chris that intro sounded like you could be the offspring of Bonnie Raitt and David Gilmour. That's a beautiful piece of music.
That opening solo was just perfect!
Just watched/listen 1 min of the video...And...Man! You deserve to play in large stadiums! You are the next David Guilmour!
It's not the gear. It's you. What a Tone!
Now, I have a problem. You made me bought a RS502 Shop Black. And now I'm going after a 60s Am Original Strat. Should I?
Well done!
Cheers,
His slides are what give the playing that soul. Beautiful style.
Agreed, his slides are both masterful and emotional.
I've watched many of Chris's performances but can't remember ever seeing him use a glass/metal slide, I think I'd like to see/listen to that.
That intro jam was one of the best jam I've heard in a while
And the outro jam was even better. How does a 25 year old from Wales learn gospel?
Two thumbs down? Seriously ? Must be jealous of the sick ass note choices , tones and general way you command the guitar. I’m inspired 🎸🎸🎸🎸
Those swells in the intro defy words. Edit: Fuck it, the whole solo is god tier. Keep up the good work man
I keep coming back. Just to listen to the opening. Man......
And just after I finished my firebird build. You make me want to build a strat. Then just sit and loop this video endlessly till I can play it!
The jam here is absolutely delicious. Take a bow!
thats a fantastic piece of music
That guitar was alive. Crying, breathing, sobbing, singing.
O my God....what a sound!
God, I love it the tone when you're continuing to play even as the the volume is decaying almost out. I've started incorporating it into my playing. I normally set my rig so that when my guitar volume is at 5-6, it's at a level where if you play at 10 all the time, you'd have down at 7-8. Then my 7-8(ish) is what would be 10 for other players.
So when I'm using vibrato on a long note or double stop, then I slide it up another position until it's almost died out before i slide up again. I'll shake it right to the point where the volume is all but gone, then slowly dial the volume up as I'm still shaking the note.
I've only been doing it for a couple weeks, but everyone who's heard my play or have played with ALL comment on it immediately. I love discovering things like that; nothing that really is all that unusual, but still because it isn't something that everyone does, it sounds so original. Of course that applies more to people who aren't guitarist.
My favourite part of the jam beginning with the tasty bends at 1:00 to the growly upstrokes @ 1:12, pure tonal magic. I keep imagining what it would sound like in a live concert. Run out of room on the fretboard, no problem let’s move over to the string tree. Between the vintage 62 Strat and the custom Yamaha Chris has assembled a formidable arsenal to complement his tonal mastery.
All the languor, heat, pain & passion of a hot summer day. Thank you for the education on early amps & guitars: gorgeous!
The intro jam gave me shivers. Omg
Never seen a picking hand so busy, the sonic variety this creates is insane. Absolutely mind blowing.
That's Gilmour's sound and feel well and truly nailed. Awesome!
What a dream rig. Perfect blend, but the magic is in the fingers without a doubt.
Loved the sound of the strat and 335 in these clips. Just great.
This is a rather different sound for you compared to the usual, this being more rugged, tweedy so to speak. I like both, but this suits you so well. More of this, please.
Wonderful playing !
Wow! That Gilmour-esque '62 Strat JAM was awesome.
Great Gilmour vibe!
Some beautiful toneage brother!
You were channelling some Gilmour then man.👍
Chris, that intro solo is so good, and inspiring because I can feel every note you play ....very Gilmourish if I would try to describe it! Love it :) keep up the good work and thanks for bringing great content to us.
That intro was breathtaking!
Sorry Chris. That's a wide panel tweed at 3.05 not a TV front. Unless it's a widescreen TV front ;) But that Strat jam at the beginning - I've said it to you in person and I'll say it in public, it gives me chills. Utterly amazing tone and playing - H
Aha! It was a prototype they did in anticipation of 16:9 but it took a while to be implemented so they scrapped it 😉 Cheers mate!
@@ChrisBuckGuitar Ah ok. Thanks for putting me straight ;)
Love your videos Chris and of course our playing
Heavenly playing!
That solo at the beginning was the turn 👌🏾
Discovered this guy like three days ago...amazing playing, most tasteful playing I’ve heard in a long time
Man... The first jam, for sure was your best play on friday fretworks
More Buck Magic, it’s not the number of notes it’s the way he plays. The Ringo of guitar.
That volume swell and string bend release was awesome!
Intro is AMAZING
My God man, your playing is just beautiful. Such a treat for the ears. Thank you, for sharing!
Great job outlining the amp history Chris. I really enjoyed it!
I really liked it through the mic input. Did not expect that.
Friday inspiration..
Wow...great playing... that's all I can say 'cos you said it all with your fingers and hands...
Chris belongs among the greats of his genre today. His play never ceases to amaze and inspire me...to stir up emotion. Thanks for your content, Chris!
Just beautiful playing... Inspirational...
Ooooo baby, that sounds good.... and I'm just listening on a phone. Make a whole album of this. Would love to listen for hours!
It already exists. It's called Pink Floyd.
You are one of my favourite players since I watched the miss you vid long time ago but recently I've been noticing that you are getting even better! I dont know man, there's something in your playing lately that sounds more special than ever, does anybody feel the same way? Thanks for the content Chris!
Real music with actual feel. Hey music industry, WAKE UP!!!!!
Incredibly beautiful tone and playing as usual Chris, through an incredible sounding amp too I might add! 👍❤️
Nice Gilmour like inspiration intro. Thanks
Simply sublime mate
Damn, Chris. When are you going to make the "big time" The world needs a "new" great guitarist like you, especially a Welsh one ;) This was the most stunning tone and technique I've seen yet. I kept looking for the Strat's tremolo arm in your playing, which wasn't there (à la Jeff Beck)! I'm building a 5e3 right now and just hope that I can get a tone in this 5e4 zone!
Always room for another Welsh guitar great!
@@ryanboshell6124 Yep, I thought I'd be the first, lol, way back in 1974... alas, I only made to "very good" status ;) Still SO happy that I continued to play guitar all my life though. And even more happy to see guitarists like Chris makes it against the odds!
Chris really proves that tone is in the fingers! 🤯
You are Great at soloing.
Not too many have taste.
You got it.
Great tasteful playing as usual
The way these amps break up is the sound of Rock and Roll. The dynamics of dialing them in, and back off the volume is a righteous thing. I have a 5e3 (Deluxe) clone a Celestion Blue, which also reacts the same way.
There is very little headroom (starts to breakup around 3), but there is so much color, clarity and nuance with “how” you play. The sound is completely “Old School, familiar, dated”, but to my ears just how a guitar should sound.
Your unique man, the way you play i can't explain it other than i am incorporating some of your style elements peace from Alabama in America
I am the proud owner of an original 57 Tweed Deluxe 60 Tweed Champ and early 60 Super (Brown with tweed grill cloth and a the blue 10's found in the baseman's) A few original Blackfaces and Blondes too. I have some tweed re-issues and bunch of vintage 60's Marshalls. It took me some time to learn that the simpler the circuit the better. Like anything in life most folks are looking for easy solutions to difficult problems-ie how to be a real player. Add a wall of distortion and it hides all the sins. Imagine a death metal guy on the Super? Right. Anyway heavily distorted guitar is a nice trick but it gets tiring on the ears. The Tweeds are excellent amps but you can see why the BF were the evolution for Leo looking for cleaner sounds for country and even Jazz. We are lucky to live in a time where these have come back into vogue. Sadly we hear little of it as real music has been supplanted once again by commercial noise.
If only all strats sounded like that !
That strat is special indeed. Damn. 4:34 is basically an AC30CC2x.
Identical tone. I was very surprised!
Shades of Comfortably Numb Sounds good
What a great intro, what a gtreat combination, what green eye i have! 🎸👀💚
It doesn't get much more tasteful than that intro
god DAMN
One of the best videos. Great work Chris.
What an epic intro. Goosebumps all over! Keep on rockin'!
Sweet playing! 🙏
Man, I wish I could play like that!!!
One of the sweetest solo Ive heard!
Christ! He’s so good.
It’s all in the that TONE! My fav Chris
Sounds like the best Pink Floyd song never heard. I manage to steal one single lick from you (so far) and play it convincingly. You've changed my playing, dude.
Chris talks about equipment and then plays like a guitar God. Wow, Mon.
Could listen to that all day long 🥰
This by far my favorite intro solo of yours.
That sounded absolutely amazing Chris, well played!
I'm pretty sure I saw a glimpse of heaven with that intro. Incredible playing. Incredible sound. 👍👍
Just awesome playing and tones. Well done, Chris!
Last bit of playing was sublime. It was nice to see your versatility. Reminded me a bit of buckovac.
...great presentation! thanks
Ahhh so soothing and electric at the same time, and that Yamaha just blows my mind!!!
CRIPES... fab sound and once again soooooooooo tasty playing. 😁👍
My god that opening tune was....and those other tunes were..... my god! I'll go back and watch again and I swear I will listen to what you said about... amps? Amps right?
Wow Chris you've really developed your own style. I can tell it's you now when I hear you slide and vibrato.
Incredible! So inspiring...
Sweet sweet playing. I have a tweed super 5f4 clone built by Achillies amps in Australia. Its the best, well its hard to describe this but necause it is so touch sensitive, it really allows you to be expressive without a whole bunch of pedals. I absolutely love it.
