Beautiful, inspired playing here, as ALWAYS. Thank you. Little known trivia: There were 643 Les Pauls manufactured in 1959; only 1,369 currently exist today! 🤣
The reason for this is luthiers like Kris Derrig, who bulit Slash's "Appetite For Destruction" Les Paul. It was built by a great Luthier, using parts from real 50's Gibsons, including pots, pickups, plastic parts, capacitors, etc. and also were built with the right materials (Honduran mahogany, Canadian Maple, Brazilian rosewood) and glue. These luthiers also took care to replicate even the tiniest details, Something Gibson reissues didn't bother with until the mid '00's (hideglue instead of tightbond, the exact era-correct shape of the headstock and logo, tortoise shell side dots, instead of black plastic, etc). It's no wonder even the experts have a hard time telling them apart
@@wilhelmtheconquerer6214 I don't think a building made 20 years ago out of 10,000 year old granite means it's a 10,000 year old building. No matter how much copium anyone smokes
Most ppl including the most popular youtube artists can't even come close to the tone Chris puts out here. Fingers, authentic original 59 and a vintage Marshall. Amazing
There's something truly sublime about Buck's unique, melodic, modern sound when playing through such a classic, vintage rig. Just amazing. After the intro I thought that was the best tone Buck ever had, but I should have waited. That outro was just fantastic.
Damn that solo at the beginning was astonishingly powerful! People say rock is dying or dead already, but with young people like Chris Buck beaming talent and love for the guitar, I think there's still hoping guitar will get back to the hot spot in popular music in our life times.
The people have no say what is broadcast on the airwaves. You'd have to take control of those corporations and regulatory agencies first. Which is the same as taking control of banking, education, military manufacturing, and other institutions. You'll get nothing but Cardi B and Bruno Mars and you'll like it.
@@stringtheoryguitars4952 I don't like the music from Bruno Mars at all, but this guy is a serious talented musician. He writes all of his song by himself and can play many different kind of instruments. Even his songs are quite complex for modern pop music
Jam from 4:25 embodies everything I love about the Les Paul & Marshall sound. Chris your playing is outstanding, and you have tone unique and unmistakeable.
The Holy Grail 'A '59 Les Paul and a Marshall. Sounds incredible with your fantastic playing. A dream scenario for 99 percent of players out there. Thx for a great demo. As always, keep the great work 🎸
Chris, your playing, guitar tone and the guitar rig is killing!!! Greetings from Bulgaria, from one of your huge fans!!! Be healthy, happy and blessed, and all the people around you too! :-)
Ooft, that tone! That Les Paul into the Marshall sounds incredible in your hands. Thanks Chris, fantastic playing and feel as always..also congratulations on reaching 200,000 subs to your channel..well deserved too. Cheers mate! 🎸🏴
This might be the best I've seen you play. You have this unique way of moving your body when you play....it is quite frankly..... very moving . It's good to see the Les Paul under the mastery of younger hands while playing more modern music.
Thanks Chris for the accurate Marshall info and your incredible playing as always. The colour of the '59 is just lovely, very rich and warm, great wood. The '45 would be a pretty rare beast too being a PA head, it does sound amazing and in such great nick. Cheers, Steve.
An amazing story for both instrument and amplifier! I hope that both go to players who will use, love and respect their rare purchases - and share their delight with us!
That second jam you did was to date my favorite playing of yours I’ve heard and I really enjoy your playing over all. Your playing reminds me of off high energy, tasty lick playing, high note specialist trumpet plays that can solo. There seems to be some notes and licks that can only come out by putting your body into it
Thanks for the gritty yet tasty history lesson, Chris. First I’d ever heard that there was a trade embargo between the US and UK in the rock n roll years! I especially liked the cabinet-mic-mix solo improv at the end. Really felt like I was in the room with you.
The fluidity of movement across the guitar is incredible to watch, and the tone that it brings out is unmistakably you. It sounded amazing through my headphones. I can't wait to watch this again, cranked up at home 🙌
Bro, your right hand is so incredible! When you shoot the close up of you playing it almost looks like you edit with stop motion. I don't know how you move so fast and accurate. It's really cool. Thank you for your playing and that gear is top notch!
Chris … this a compliment.. you sound just as good through a Revstar as this rig. Most well healed buyers of ‘ Bursts want to sound like ‘ol school classic artists. You have your sound.. keep it and have a great career. M
What a great guitar, and fortune to be able to play it in person, and along with that amp. It must be a real treat. Ya know - You sound just like Chris Buck, with that guitar in your hands! Good show.
Chris, I’ve become just as big a fan of Friday Fret works, as I am a Cardinal Black and pretty much all of your playing. I know I could sell my house and almost buy two of those! Well done as always. You are appreciated buddy
EPIC! Made more so in that the UA OX is in the signal chain. Those of us who own the OX can feel proud that it made the cut into gear nirvana. F______ outstanding!
Amazing final noodling! ❤️👍 You definitely inspire me as a guitar player, and on a regular basis I analyse a solo from you and steal you some little tricks.
Something tells me you have wachted alot of Paul Gilbert. I am amazed how clean your picking style is with that aggresion and passion at the same time.. AWESOME, AWESOME tone Chris (y)
Absolutely my style of Playing, Incredible Playing Chris, the Marshall sounded Amazing the, sounded much cleaner, Love hearing you play, you are certainly going to be one of the best players coming into the spotlight, outstanding 🎶🧜♀️🎸 Lisa Einsohn
When he switches to the neck pickup at the beginning of that epic ending jam (7:43), all I hear in my head is Jimmy Page on "Since I've Been Loving You." That tone is damn close, which makes a lot of sense, but it just jumped out at me. In fact, there's a ton of Page tone in that particular Les Paul, which isn't always the case with the old 'bursts, especially considering how modified Page's was.
Great stuff Chris. I just happened to see a video on the history of Marshall amplifiers recently on TH-cam so I am taking it more seriously now (better late than never).
Beautiful, inspired playing here, as ALWAYS. Thank you.

@@ElmoRitter no, but if everything is exactly the same except for the adress and date on which it where built, isn't it basically the same then?
in the youtuberverse of players, there are a number of players that after the first 3 seconds you know who you are hearing blindfolded...
It helps when the first 3secs include “Hey guys. I’m Chris Buck…”😊
@@tuckermb6288 who is Chris Buck?
@@tuckermb6288 well to be fair, he plays an intro before he announces he is who it is
Matthew Scott? 🤔

That middle Badgy solo was incredible, and so is the tone. Damn near the best sounding tone I've ever heard on TH-cam.
Yes, I heard 'Badge' in there, nice one man
Your phrasing is impeccable

Amen 👏👏👏
Nobody! Plays like Chris. Amazing touch and note choice! Thank you for being such an inspiration
Yep, that IS the sound of rock n roll. You are a lucky man, Chris! But also, you have the chops to do justice to that gear!!
Jam from 4:25 embodies everything I love about the Les Paul & Marshall sound. Chris your playing is outstanding, and you have tone unique and unmistakeable.
Absolutely! Melody and Tone that are so soulful and uplifting!
Eric Clapton’s Badge ❤

Bro your playing is what makes that gear sound so good.
I had an amazingly clean 1966 JTM45 head and it was glorious. Previously owned by Journey manager Herbie Herbert.
Uh oh “had”
Had .. :(
Had!
An iconic rig and an iconic tone but very much still a Chris Buck sound. Unmistakeable.
TONE, TONE, TONE! Love hearing you pull all there is out of this iconic pairing!
@MrChrisBuck. and all I have to do is pay for the shipping cost?
What a joy ride! Thank you...
Crikey, that first jam! full marks, mate!
Man, you’re incredible! Totally impressed. More video i see, more speechless i am. 🔥🔥🔥🤟🏽
Now that is an amazing tone. That Paul is a thing of real beauty. Great playing as always
Wow! Incredible tone and playing. I love your pick and thumb attack. Lovely harmonics!
Chris, your playing, guitar tone and the guitar rig is killing!!!
Greetings from Bulgaria, from one of your huge fans!!!
Be healthy, happy and blessed, and all the people around you too! :-)

Where natural talent and passionate hard work intersect, thank you Chris
Chris
Amazing as ever
I've shared your channel with my 12yr old son, whose jyst started guitar lessons
This might be the best I've seen you play. You have this unique way of moving your body when you play....it is quite frankly..... very moving . It's good to see the Les Paul under the mastery of younger hands while playing more modern music.
You're best playing ever. The best rig ever. Thats the setup and you do it justice.
Cheers from Hawaii
Thanks Chris for the accurate Marshall info and your incredible playing as always. The colour of the '59 is just lovely, very rich and warm, great wood. The '45 would be a pretty rare beast too being a PA head, it does sound amazing and in such great nick. Cheers, Steve.
Now I m sure of it. You re one of the best players EVER!!
Wow. Just wow. I'm a huge fan of the Buck .. but he just keeps on getting better and better 🤯🤯🤯
An amazing story for both instrument and amplifier! I hope that both go to players who will use, love and respect their rare purchases - and share their delight with us!

ROCK N ROLL HEAVEN OPENING TRACK!
The intro playing is totally amazing!
I enjoy the history lessons almost as much as I enjoy the music.
Thanks for the gritty yet tasty history lesson, Chris. First I’d ever heard that there was a trade embargo between the US and UK in the rock n roll years! I especially liked the cabinet-mic-mix solo improv at the end. Really felt like I was in the room with you.
There was no trade embargo, just high taxes. An awful lot in this video is false, other than the playing.
Thank you for this video. What a way to start my Saturday morning, I really enjoy your playing.
Never ceases to amaze me how many 59 Les Paul’s are floating around
there is lottsa 59s, but only one chris buck...
As the saying goes, "out of the 1500 or so made, there are only about 3000 left." Just kidding, that's an amazing guitar for sure.
Joe Bo says there are tens of thousands so I guess that leaves at least 10 for the rest of us
Or how obviously naff and fake so many of those are.
A lot of them are fakes, some really really well made fakes
The fluidity of movement across the guitar is incredible to watch, and the tone that it brings out is unmistakably you.
It sounded amazing through my headphones. I can't wait to watch this again, cranked up at home 🙌
Thanks Chris, it's wonderful to find such a clean example with only the odd thing swapped. A guitar truly worthy of your talent.
Bro, your right hand is so incredible! When you shoot the close up of you playing it almost looks like you edit with stop motion. I don't know how you move so fast and accurate. It's really cool. Thank you for your playing and that gear is top notch!
wayy better play than any irritating shredder out there.. damn you're good Chris
Awesome play as allways. Thank you Chris !
You're my favorite youtube guitarist. Love your playing! There's so much personality in it.
As the owner of a JTM 45 Combo, I know how loud you had to be to get it to break up! 🤣 And so do all my neighbors!
Excellent playing. You inspire me to practice more.
Wow what a sound!! Just stunning. Thank you for sharing and love those tasty licks Chris Buck!! 🙌🏻🎸🎶🍻🤘🏻Happy Friday!
That jam in the middle sounded like Badge. Wonderful.
WHAT? No neck bend? I feel cheated!? Haha! I love watching Mr Buck shred & shred he does. ;)
Yes neck bending is mandatory. Especially on 58 Les Paul's!!
plenty of neck-bend, here at about 1:08 on a '60. th-cam.com/video/I3afNKp9S84/w-d-xo.html
he was joking@@ggilvis
killer gear, tone and playing. bravo.
There could be no better advertisement for a guitar and amp of this caliber than hearing Chris make them sing. Take my money. I want them! 🙂
Chris … this a compliment.. you sound just as good through a Revstar as this rig.
Most well healed buyers of ‘ Bursts want to sound like ‘ol school classic artists.
You have your sound.. keep it and have a great career.
M
You have a very gifted set of fingers. You tonalize your notes. It gives depth, you are talking through your music. = I like to hear you play.
What a great guitar, and fortune to be able to play it in person, and along with that amp. It must be a real treat.
Ya know - You sound just like Chris Buck, with that guitar in your hands! Good show.
Chris, you're a treasure! Excellent, tasteful playing as always!
My man, so good as always
Amazing how the middle position of that Les Paul sounds almost like single coils. Such a glorious sound through an old Marshall
Chris, I’ve become just as big a fan of Friday Fret works, as I am a Cardinal Black and pretty much all of your playing. I know I could sell my house and almost buy two of those! Well done as always. You are appreciated buddy
chris. Man you outdone yourself.. Good Show man…Cheers
00:19 oh know, a burst, the first Marshall, and Chris Buck I feel deadly tone coming.
Great video!!!
What a tone! Great playing as ever
Truly exceptional vintage rig, you must’ve had all the power in the world in those moments of playing
That was insanely tastefully played man, damn, mind blowing
Oh to have been in the actual room listening!
This is a beautiful demo
arguably the best Marshall I've ever heard
To be honest, being a guitarist so good that people give you the opportunity to play iconic gear is amazing !
The song and the solo at 4:25 is so great. It has the quality of Derek Trucks.
Jesus Christ, that sounds perfect!
EPIC! Made more so in that the UA OX is in the signal chain. Those of us who own the OX can feel proud that it made the cut into gear nirvana. F______ outstanding!
When the gear is as good as the player. You get magic. That’s exactly what this is. 🤟
Amazing final noodling! ❤️👍
You definitely inspire me as a guitar player, and on a regular basis I analyse a solo from you and steal you some little tricks.
Something tells me you have wachted alot of Paul Gilbert. I am amazed how clean your picking style is with that aggresion and passion at the same time.. AWESOME, AWESOME tone Chris (y)

Just amazing 😍. That burst is the ultimate tone machine paired with that marshall heaven.
amazingly this old guitars sound different (much differnt !!) than same model new.
This is just bad to the bone! Right on and thanks for sharing Chris🙌💪🙏💙🌅
Tone-Riffic! In your hands rock n'' roll continues to live and to lift the human spirit! THANKS!
Amazing, real amazing! I love the looking of this amplifier!
Outro is so damn tasty! I bet that the Marshall would let you play the original prototype too.
Hi Chris, incredibile playing and tone! I would love to hear you incorporate such tones with cardinal black.
Love from Italy 🤟🏻
My favorite guitarist
man, that's cool guitar playing. real cool
Loving the tone! That neck pickup on the intro jam! Great job!
What a piece of historic gear…. Simply awesome…..
Thanks for share… no more words….👏👏👏👏👏
got tickets to see u in cork ireland in april and im so excited
Ear candy musically and verbally. Superb!

That’s warm butter that first demo. Guitars sing in your hands. My Lord
Is that Les Paul yours ? If
Not , it should be yours , you make that guitar sound like it’s a part of You ! Wow !!!
I am also impressed about your play, you are a very good guitar player.
Now you just need to put a klon in front of it and you’ve got the real unobtainium rig!
Wow Chris, that was fabulous!
Absolutely brillant playing and tone!
Right up my alley Chris! My favorite tone right there, thanks man! and I foresee you owning a '59 Lester one day! Keep grinding!
So sweet, hard to top that rig. Nice play out as well. Thanks, enjoyed the video.
Fantastic tone (and playing of course).
Man, that intro was so Budgie! Love the tone
Great stuff Chris. I just happened to see a video on the history of Marshall amplifiers recently on TH-cam so I am taking it more seriously now (better late than never).
Amazing sound 🙏✨️
