ALL of the pickups! (Nearly) | Friday Fretworks 

I can't describe how much I love that rendition of Bold As Love. Just unbelievable. It's perfect, and of course it's played on my favourite style of strat, Fiesta Red with a dark rosewood board.

No one plays us in and out like Chris Buck !! And as usual, a very interesting topic sandwiched in between.

5:12 Love that slow melody on those p90s.

your '62 strat neck pickup on Bold As Love was sublime. most awaited you Tube video of the week.

I’m surprised none of your guitars filed assault charges against you. You are one of the most aggressive players that I have ever seen. I love it. Please keep the Sonic assaults coming. 🙏🙏🙏✌️✌️

Jesus Chris! What an intro! Should come with a health warning 😂

Great video, really enjoyed the history and demos. P-90 for life for me.

That opening solo on the Tele wide range pups just ripped. As many great ones of yours as I've heard, I have never heard anything quite as impressive. There is a Chris Buck style coming through that's easily as recognisable as say a Hendrix or Gilmour or SRV. It's in all those grace notes, combination bends, double stops, pinch and tap harmonics, all thrown together in that "how the hell is he doing that?" way, and so casually done it looks easy (it isn't!)

the best guitarist of our era is Chris fuckin Buck! best inspiration, its creamy, its just there!

Who doesn't like a bit of Chris Buck 😂

I've said it before and I'll say it again...your playing is astonishing! There are few guitarists that can illicit an emotional response for me but you sir are firmly in that category. Keep up the great work Chris!!

chris buck uploaded, im immediately happy. Heavenly jams you got there. That tele, p90 and strat jam were absolutely heart melting.

Hey Chris thanks for the video! I'm a big fan of your playing. ✌️

dude!!!that intro was PURE FIRE....your control on the sonic output was Insane...i think you should approach life just like that intro..Reckless abandon..."a bow" of Respect to you!..btw i hate you,your the player i Aspire to be..Blessings to you and yours.

Great topic, great musical interludes for exposition, as usual

The tone, the touch, the feel everything is there. What an amazing guitarist is Chris!🙏

Chris Buck, This video is fantastic! I liked it a lot!

THIS could very well be, the best pick up ''explanation'' youtube clip, that i have ever seen. And i've seen a few. Well done Chris.

That Tele demo was amazing! What a sound. Thanks Chris for more stellar playing.

That introduction, featuring cropped trousers, serves as substantial proof of the imminent arrival of spring.

Daaayyyymmmitttt..People watch this mans Pick attacks..Learn from a Master!

I agree with you on the P90 pickup. I love the warm tones I can get with this pickup.

Thanks for doing his Chris. Broken record time: Your playing is so amazing!🎶🎸👍

Great vid! Chris!! I am so exited that you are coming to Omaha!!!!! Hope to shake your hand!

What an episode 😮 thank you for the massive inspiration you're broadcasting to us 🙏👏👏

Brilliant episode! Love your playing with strat pickups the most

My god can you absolutely play. What a freakin talent.

Smokin'!!!! Your aggressive playing makes the pickups reveal their potential strengths and 'flavor' characteristics. V.I.P. episode. Thanks, C.B.😎🎸👍

Well Chris, that mournful, beautiful slow piece you played for the P90 demo has to be some of the most beautiful playing I have heard for a long time, your subtle grasp of melodic and harmonic movement is astonishing mate.

Exquisite presentation and performance by this supremely talented young guitarist - not forgetting his wonderfully clean-cut image. No need for hideous skull and crossbones-type images so often sported by mediocre musicians.

I love P-90s. They are my favorites.

Oh dude thank you for demoing the Charlie christian on a solid body!

Hearing Chris say the word “bobbin” with his accent is the highlight of my week

Whoa Nellie! Dat Telecaster Jam! Best Regards and Best Wishes!

Fabulous playing as usual Chris and very interesting and informative 🤘👍

Excellent and informative video, been waiting for this. Thx! 🎸 👍

30 seconds in. "THIS IS GONNA BE EPIC!"

I could listen to you play for hours, as opposed to ‘shredding’ at 400 mph - which gets worn out fairly quick. Your playing is much more interesting and entertaining. Congrats!

Your playing is just sublime . My god

Whatever you played on the Tele was really quite amazing Chris!

That bold in love was so good, only one I’ve been able to listen to and totally love other than with jimi himself

1951 Fender Nocaster 99,795 Euro 😲 Bold As Love was sublime in your hands Chris, what a treat!

Great video, Chris!

Buckmaster. I think its safe to say that as a guitar player you are currently the dog's bollox. Magnificent stuff.

Awesome! Chris you are amazing! Absolutely perfect, your finger style flawless transition between pick and fingers. Every notes speak it self! You are a true artist! THXS👍👍👍

Wow, Gretch, Filter'tron... I don't have any of those but just realised I have a gap in tonality, well quite a few to be honest. Came to the gig in Chester and was truly amazed. Not since listening to SRV at Reading in 1983 have I been hooked on a guitar sound and ultimately Chris Buck. I haven't been blown away by anybody even a bit bluesy or soulful since SRV passed, there seems to be lots of imitators... I cannot give Joe Bonamassa the time of day even though he is an amazing player, he does nothing for me. Much the same with Phile Sayce although I am coming round to actually appreciating and listening, I knnow I am the loser there. Seeing you live showed me that rock or blues or soul guitar isn't a thing of thre past, it is alive. You are breathing life into guitar for the now and hopefully the next who will be inspired by your fire. You are a great man and the world needs great men.

... The Frying Pan was actually a "Hawaiian" lap/slide guitar. The original Charlie Christian pickups were RADIO ACTIVE. "Cobalt". They had to be "recharged" every couple of years. Bear in mind that this was before we knew about radiation poisoning. They were originally installed into Recording King guitars, and were the first comercially available guitar sold to the public in 1936-1940. Harry DeArmond designed the first pickups and founded, ROWE INDUSTRIES. His pickups are still used in Fenders, Gretsch, Guild, and many others and are commonly refered to as, Dynasonics/GOLD FOILS/single coil, and Filtertrons/Humbuckers. a lot of folks are mistakenly informed about Dynasonics being Humbuckers because of the 12 pole pieces. In actuality those extra "pole pieces" are height adjusters for the opposing pole pieces. Yes, you can adjust each pole piece to suit you own tastes........ROCK ON CHRIS BUCK!!!............

Love in every note! Subscribed!

Absolutely fantastic and the demonstration of pickups was pretty good too, but you are fantastic player my man excellent

P90s and mini humbuckers are my faves. That being said my Tele gets the most mileage.

Hey Chris, spotted you at the Brizzle guitar show last weekend. Didn't get a chance to say hi but hope you enjoyed the show!

Hi Chris fantastic vid really articulate your playing is just glorious ❤☺️❤️

nice nice job! i haevn't missed any of your vids since Paul got you to do his "thing" :-)

So many sweet licks and lines in this video! ❤

Great articulation, great playing. I think Chris is my favorite guitar player of 2020s.

Besides your inspired and tasty playing, you've got a real knack for presenting interesting topics on guitar history and its development. This has been a real treat on your Channel, and I hope you do more. 😎

Nice bit of Bold As Love in there, Chris. Great video as always.

Damn dude. You are straight up ripping those guitars apart. Very tasty playing. Melodic, fun but not flashy, hearing those chord tones of the changes in your lines tells me you are a very studied player. Thank you for all your insightful videos. I enjoy your content and playing! Cheers!!

The black Revstar with single gold foil stole the show for me.

all Hail, Trower..the Torch Bearer after we LOST Hendrix.

Great video - I will save this link for my students.

Great samples. Telecaster music and knobs work blown me away

This is AWESOME 👏!!!!

Another great and educational video...once again I am BEGGING for an instrumental album from Chris!

Those Revstars hold their own in estimable vintage company.

Well here is me wanting a second restart all over again. So many awesome looking ones in Chris' collection

Great video.

Haven't seen that 1963 Stratocaster in a while; I damn near forgot you had it! I thought when you spent all that money obtaining it and fixing all it's issues, we would have been seeing it every other episode. Good to see it again! ❤

Hey Chris! Have a great weekend!

Damn Chris, you never fail to get my toe tapping!

Great intro - probably your 'rockiest' one

That first solo was fantastic man!!

The P90 in that Les Paul is s one of the most beautiful sounds on earth!

I second the idea of the sonic assaults- keep’ em coming- you can play my brother! 🙏

I’ve just seen you on dipped in tone Chris great stuff 👍I wish you all the best on your USA tour I know your the best now show them yanks what your all about 👌👌

Really looking forward to seeing you and Cardinal Black in Southampton next Wednesday!!

Top notch drummer too..

Love the single coils in the first jam

I love your Stratocaster brother! That’s one good looking guitar… Sounds great too! I watched your video on you refurbishing it… Pretty interesting.

"Gibson bucked the hum but Gretsch filtered it"! touche' Chris Buck touche,..lol....nice quote! Still love your red strat!

I know all the guitar stuff (pretty much) I come to hear the playing

Jeff Beck the second Amazing as usual thanks Chris.

Outro = 🔥

Loved the music at 5.10.

P90 is my favourite. But I also have and love Gibson/DeCola dual (non-magnetized) blade minis with Ceramic and Al5 bar magnet versions, (have firebird covers but not vintage firebird design). Great run down of the history of our beloved little pickups.

Thinking man's guitarist. Very good article. Looks like you have a new pad.

Great summary and very expressive examples, Gold pickups at end sounded very Robben Ford, I'm off to google what he uses!

I’ve got The Guitar Pickup Book by Dave Hunter. He covers magnetic pickups very well.

Some of his heavier jams I would 1000% want a MP3 of for my iPod. The tone he gets is insane. Make them two minutes each and be able to buy them ala carte. Make it happen Chris!

Nicely done as usual BUT, the one time that I get to hear a great player demoing a Charlie Christian pup and you play only the mid to low strings. Aaah!!

Miss you with a strat.

That opening jam..👍

I'd love to hear your thoughts about lace sensor pickups.

Great video. Monster playing and great info. One disappointment: I really wanted to hear the 4 pickup Les Paul in the thumbnail! That looks like something I would make...

Great playing as usual. Oh the option anxiety..... There are infinite possibilities even before the signal even leaves the guitar

that fridge magnet tone of the 70s right off the green space shuttle fridge

I have been obsessed with P90 since I watched your episode on them

I will try to say only a little. It's all great. I never miss. Thanks! Now... I've played 66 years. This episode's musical examples are so inspiring that I looked for your solo studio albums. No joke sir. I know you might not want to. I am a student, young at 70 and still growing. It would be a lot of work. I won't hurt your band, merely expand your already essential contributions to it. Does anyone else feel like me? 226k subs and endless concert fans and personal friends? Your bandmates surely would agree. Now! I am going to play this all again in the car loud. I will share it all with my music instructor and bandmates as well. Thank you Chris for sharing your work and talent with us all in the way that you do. Just... remember... this was short. Sincerely Sam Hatman lifetime musician.

Over the black guard tele, i just kept thinking of the line ‘come play my game’ from the Prodigy song Breath 😂

God damn Chris warn us before tearing the fabric of the universe in the intro 🥵🥵🥵
