2 of my favorite players together! Would love to see/hear a musical collaboration between you two sometime. Hope you're enjoying your trip Stateside Chris. God bless and rock on 😎🎸👍
It's true. You're a fantastic guitarist. You're one of the reason's I purchased a 40th anniversary Squier Jazzmaster. Very inspiring and my kind music.
Chris Buck is great and the gutar work and the songs are really really good. But for the Slow Train is just the best song. Its my favourite and i love it.
I also own a Revstar, simply because it's the best bang for the buck, as they say.... though I am seriously considering an FGN tele style as my next guitar purchase.
@@jemwand2530 Mine is the RSS made in Indonesia but as you say, great bang for the buck. I am considering a MIJ Gold top P90 I like it so much. I do own MIJ instruments from Gretsch, Aria Pro II, Takamine and Conn. All beautiful instruments. 3 are '70s vintage. The Tak is a 1977 'lawsuit' Martin 12 string copy. The '75 Conn is a cedar and mahogany classical found last year as a closet queen from a pawn shop, like new condition, beautiful tone once saddle and bridge lowered 1/4 inch. '72 Aria Pro II TA70.
I'm with you man, my Revstar has just blown me away since I got it, it's such an amazingly playable guitar. May you enjoy yours for a long time to come my friend, and of course, enjoy listening to the master Mr. Chris Buck playing his. 👍❤️
Chris is one of the VERY rare few who can mix taste, tone, virtuosity and in the pocket playing in a style that's instantly recognizable. A lot of guys can do some of those, but only a handful have it all.
I was there with you! Front of the pack and dead center. He was incredibly gracious with the crowd after the show and really made the rounds in talking to all of the fans who came out. Super humble guy! He has all of my gratitude and thanks
Here I am, a 49 year old who has played this instrument for just over 35 years, and it hits me that the significantly younger Chris Buck has indeed influenced my playing. Love his style and tone.
Chris is awesome, I saw him play with his other band Buck and Evans, in Liverpool years ago. Great to see him doing so well, such a nice guy on screen and in person.
There are many thousands of great guitarists in this world both past and present but what makes a great guitarist an iconic guitarist is the ability to give the guitar a unique identifiable voice that people can associate to that person. Chris Buck is undoubtably one of these very special musicians.
I was fortunate to see him with his previous band, Buck and Evans, playing a small club in London. One side of Chris his YT interviews don't necessarily let you know is that the man oozes charisma on stage. He's a true band leader.
I remember years ago telling everyone that Chris Buck is one of the greatest guitarists of this generation. I’m glad he’s getting the recognition he deserves. He’s definitely my favorite guitar player at this moment. I would love to jam with him for 15 minutes. I learn so much from jamming with great musicians.
Chris always seems like such a down to earth, solid dude. The fact that he is a monster player, goes without saying - what touch. Really happy to see his career and recognition just continue to build. I really hope the success of this mini-tour allows Cardinal Black to come back state-side and play a longer run of shows, so more of us get a chance to experience them 1st hand.
Chris Buck is probably in my top 5 guitarists I wish I could play like. I will never achieve anything close to any of them but especially Chris. His finger picking goes so hard
@@user-gr3dn3qp6eAndy Timmons, John Frusciante, Jimmy Page, and probably James Taylor. Not necessarily my top guitarist all time but, like I said, guitarists who I'd most love to be able to play like. Ive followed Chris Buck's channel for several years and I ALWAYS find myself enamored by his style and how he seems so bonded with his guitar. There are plenty that are very hard to not mention like Hendrix, EVH, SRV, Eric Johnson, Neal Schon, Tom Scholz, Steve Stevens, Terry Kath, Mark Knopfler, David Gilmour, damn its hard to not keep listing my favorites
Been watching & listening to him for several years now, he's such a gorgeous player. I used to live in Wales, UK & there's such an amazing amount of great musicians that have come out of that small corner of the UK.
Chris is an incredible player, he’s what got me to learn more than metal music.l, to the point I now mainly play blues and soul music. Every member of Cardinal Black are brilliant, I always look forward to hanging with them after a gig.
Me and two of my friends were actually so lucky to meet Chris in PMT Bristol once and he was one of the chillest people I’ve met. Not even to mention how skilled he is.
First saw him on @PaulDavids Channel a couple of years back! Been a big fan ever since! 💓 Chris is one of the very unique crop of guitarists! 🌟 Glad to see him here on your channel! Thanks Tyler! 👍 Both of you look so great together! 🎸👑
That's where I first saw him too. Did one of those things where 10 guitarists solo over the same backing track. The nuances of Chris' playing absolutely blew my mind.
Thanks Tyler, awesome interview. Chris is a very inspirational guitarist with wonderful melody and feel. I have been playing for over 40 years and guitarists like Chris make me want to try new things and play even more, a win win! Also as I am from Northern Ireland it was great to hear Rory Gallagher getting mentioned. A great influence here as was Gary Moore and Thin Lizzy who inspired me to play guitar.
There has been many influential players in the past 50 plus years. There are many modern players who are otherworldly in playability… but when a player doesn’t sound or play like the 99% then you have a unique talent and become an influencer. Enter 2024 and Mr Chris Buck🙌🏻
Nice breakdown of Chris's playing and pedals, Tyler. Loved it! Great to hear a shout out to the late great Rory Gallagher in there as well. Love Cardinal Black, I've seen them about 4 times already..they deserve all the success they get. 🏴🎸🇺🇲
Great show in Nashville!! I love hearing the influences. There are so many rock standards plus virtuosos. Gallagher + others who approach the guitar as a voice. You take it to a new level !!
I've been following chris buck since he was with Evans. Needless to talk avout how great hebus. What amazes me is the accessibility to his greatness that he provides us with. His secrets in playing. Having access to thus is a real blessing
I’ve known this guy and seen him in Buck and Evans years ago in the Cluney in Newcastle, it’s so good to see him growing and finally getting the recognition he so deserves. He is such a nice guy man 🤟🏼
Tyler, it must be mind blowing to go watch thier gig and then have chris play the very same songs in your room. One of the best tones and insane pedal boards ever...
I was super blessed to see them perform the same night at the Basement East! What an awesome show! My friend and I saw someone catch Chris outside the show just before and we walked over and heard him talk for a while. His last word before heading back into the building was "Super" so you can add that to the list of great foreign words with "faffin" 😂. What a great crew!
I have been watching Chris for a while, and his playing is very vocal, like Derek Trucks. Oh, don't worry, Tyler, I have been watching your channel longer. Thank you for sharing your gift with us.
I tinker with the guitar (play because I enjoy it not because I'm good) but a couple months ago was having a conversation with one of my brothers and he was asking me about my "heroes". I went through the usual suspects but then I told him if I were to be granted a wish by a genie that I could play like anyone in the world I told him I would want to be able to play like Chris Buck. This floored him, he'd never heard of him. So I introduced him to Cardinal Black. He knows who Chris Buck is now.
Thank you Tyler, been a fan of Chris for a while, he's amazing. You guys playing together was a pleasure to hear. Chris's melody rundown on trying to emulate a vocalist while playing solo's on guitar was advice I plan on taking. The melody comparison that he demonstrated using GNR was sublime. More people need to hear this guy. Could listen to you guys jamming for hours.
I knew the first time I seen Chris's video that he was a one of a kind player. Very refreshing to see a player play at that level without copying another great player.
Saw his old band Buck and Evans and they were excellent but sometimes couldn’t hear Chris too well as he had a fairly dark amp sound and only broke out when the band backed off and maybe when he used a pick more ? Saw Cardinal Black last year and clearly a band on the rise , band are great and Tom has a fantastic voice . Met Chris at a Glasgow guitar show and had a good chat about guitars .gigs and touring . Seeing Cardinal Black later this year again and having had a test drive of a Revstar Standard maybe Santa will come through for me !! 😀
Been playing longer than chris has been alive. I was stuck in a rut playing the same old stuff for years and along comes chris buck and completely reinvigorates my love of playing. I realised just how redundant my right hand was, picking then throw in micro bends, one string slides and slurs and it has given me a whole load of new tools. Even bought a revstar 502 😂
Amazing. Literally one of the best in the world. And from Wales too! Even better. Saw him at the food festival in Abergavenny a couple of years ago but didn't have the guts to go and say I'm a big fan haha.
I first noticed his guitar -- a Yamaha. I have an '78 SG-2000 so I a paid attention and tuned in. He has what I see as a very unique sound and style. He is already a legend in my book. I look forward to seeing him in the future.
Chris, I desperately wanted to see your performance at the Troubador in LA after following you for years on RU-vid but alas, I had a scheduling conflict! Please return to LA so more of your fans can catch you live! Thanks to you, I now have a P90 sunburst Yamaha Revstar and love it! Bruce Ishimatsu
I totally get your finger style. After decades back into guitar 🎸 playing and mostly used to finger playing classical, now after just a year nor I played only electric and learned to use a plectrum, I tend to go back and forth because finger playing is more melodic even in hard rock... Totally get you. Wish you and your band the best.❤🎸🎸🎸
You remind me of acousticon, a small band out of new Smyrna Beach Florida, but they sound amazing. just a bass player and a guitar player with a drum backing track.
Always great to hear from either one of you guys. I'm a big Chris Buck fan and he's actually influenced my guitar playing and thinking over the last few years. Always a joy to watch him play his unique style on a phalanx of great instruments and not always really pricey ones! If I may be allowed one small suggestion...when you have a guest in your space, maybe a bit better lighting on them?
He's one of my favourites, followed for years on YT and seen him twice with cardinal black in the last year. For me what makes it so much better than some other 'guitar legends' is that genuinely Cardinal Black are a truly great band with some great songs that aren't just a vehicle for Chris to show off. Such amazing music that is complimented by chris' playing not dominated by it. I love both him and the band.
Taken me a while but loving your channel !! Slightly geeky but feel like I learn so much from you and your guests!! Keep it going...and dance more 😂 !!
Don't know if Chris has ever met Greg Koch from my hometown of Milwaukee? But that would be an interesting mind meld of styles. Both of them have an inate insistence on putting a little something extra into every movement. Nothing ever seems boring or contrived. I've noticed as some of Cardinal Black's biggest hits have evolved. Chris is making a conscious effort to slow down just a tad more, and give the parts and songs space to breathe. We're watching one of the best young guitarists around hone his craft. I was hoping Tyler would interview Chris while in town. Thanx dudes, we're very grateful for both of your efforts. Peace!
