I can’t wait to see how far you go, Chris. I’m about to be seventy, been playin for 60 of those years, and grew up appreciating all the greats from their first arrivals. You are as phenomenally intuitive, driven and accomplished as a David Gilmour or any other. I like it that you seem to have a humble respect for what your gift is all about, where it does or doesn’t come from, and you’ve kept your head out of it. Mostly heart stuff there. I’d say you’re going places, but you’re already some place pretty great: you’re Chris Buck. Many thanks for all you’re doing. Cayce

"How to solo like Chris Buck"...you made my day.

that solo from slow train s the best solo i've heard in years!! SO inspiring!

you deserve more viewers, this is really high quality educational content!

Your tone and expression rival SRV and John Mayer. Such sweet, mellow tone when you want it and breathing fire when it’s called for. Best Stratocaster tone I’ve heard in two decades. Thanks for taking the time to share your playing and tips.

I've been around for long enough that I can recognise a musician who is fresh and original in his approach to his playing. Put it this way I can remember times when we hadn't heard of the Beatles. You don't use riffs that we've all heard, your playing is distinctive and I don't know what you're about to do, you surprise me that's a good thing thing. You're an excellent musician now but more importantly I can see a bright future, What impresses me is your choice of instruments you understand tone and how certain guitars and pickups get it.

Naah, you don't really have the Chris Buck style down

How to bend it like Buck should be your next vid..haha

Your licks are so articulate and melodic it tickles my ears! Even attempting to play this is a ton of fun. Thank you mister Buck!

Its Friday....... It's 5 o'Clock...... It's Buck-a-Jack!! Well, I tried....... Chris's playing is always a great way to start the weekend.

That solo gave me goosebumps absolutely insane

Still one of the best guitar solos I've ever heard and I've been playing 25 years+.

Thanks Chris ! Loving the tabs and solo approach. Keep it coming !

Thank you Chris. In one lesson, you opened my eyes to the chord tones. I want to play music, not just "your" music.

Simply amazing chris! Thank you for this awesome breakdown!

That’s just a bloody Masterclass in feel Chris 🙏🏻

Keep them coming Chris! this video was really helpful for me! thanks a bunch!

Ah Chris - you’re a legend. Been trying to work this one out - love it

Really dig your music, man. Simple, pure, refreshing, inspiring. It's all there!

These videos have quickly made him one of my favorite current guitar players. As a Strat man, how could I not love it.

Just wonderful! Thanks for this!

The fact you speak of 'context' is great, being aware of the music; so very crucial!

This was on my solos to transcribe list. Love it!!

I love your tones!!! Thanks for the inspiration. 🎸🔥🔥🔥

I saw this video a year ago, and it showed up again today. Great stuff, great playing, and such a great guy. Keep doing what your doing, and I hope you double your followers this year. Great job Chris!

Great channel … both persona & musically … great guitar playing & insights … charming, articulate, modest tremendously talented, Chris

Seriously: this is one of the best instructional videos out there! 👍

For me, I can't think of any player on the planet who is better, or more tasteful than Chris Buck. 👍🤘

This video is one of the best material I've seen so far for guitar playing. Love your style and you've made an impact on my guitar playing so far. I'll buy your tab just to support you for making more videos like this one ✌️

This track sounds mint Chris, can't wait for the album release. Every time I hear you you are getting more of your own unique sound, similar to your obvious influences but definitely your own tone. Absolutely brilliant 👍

You have one of the most expressive styles of playing and an incredible touch on the strings. Thank you for sharing how you make it work. Cheers!

Loving 'Slow Train'. The band's music, songwriting and Sally's vocals are like a breath of fresh air. I am feeling very inspired by your guitar playing lately. Thank you CHRIS!!

Such a great vid man much appreciated this stuff really sets u apart

Really appreciate this. I've always wondered how great guitar players compose and think about their solos. This was a really helpful look into how you approach the task of composing. Cool stuff.

The fact that you only have 20k subscribers speaks volumes of just how uninformed the world is... wake up people! Such an incredible guitar player here.

Hey from Dubai, Chris! You've completely blown me out of the water.

Fantastic as usual. Love your playing. Get well soon mate

I've been following a lot of contemporary guitarist in the past few years trying to find someone that really matches the sound and style I'm constantly striving to achieve. I must say you're the only one that hit that spot much more closely, your sound, your style and the way you play.

blessed and humble . very rare.

I hear a lot of Derek Trucks. Another cat that doesn't get as much recognition as he deserves. You both make great use of quick slides and microtones. Beautiful.

You can tell that strat is setup so comfortably for your style! Strats are like leather gloves, you need the right fit to hit your style

I’d settle for being half as good as Chris Buck. That way I would be better than most! Thank you Chris for your time and your content

Chris. Thank you man for staying real ...having such a distinctive style and not letting Anything get in the way of your talent..Right on with the revstar....

An immensely helpful video Chris - thanks! And referencing other solos - as you did with the build section (Sweet Child) was a great shout too; that defo helps with finding other sources to explore, be inspired by and learn from. Cheers bud😊🙌

Keep what you’re doing man. You’ll get big

Congrats on the 100k subs! Well deserved! Excellent video as they all are! 😎🎸🐦🤘

Love watching your technique.

Nice video! Looking forward to seeing you again in Newcastle in July!

I can definitely hear the Gilmore influence in your solo. I love your vocalizing of the notes and the minimalist approach to not “over sing” the fills. It takes a lot feel and appreciation of soulful singers to pull off your style. Your ability to use your thumb to hit the E string while using the pick blew me away. Why hadn’t I thought of that.....Learn something new every time I watch you play.

cool - great to see the thinking and honesty ...super solo - Thanks

You make me happy to have functioning ears. Stay Well.

My mother also wants to play like you...it's getting old! Lol. Honestly, I love your playing, tone and heart for guitar.

Nice to meet you tonight Chris at The Vic, awesome set and playing from the whole band, really enjoyed it. I'm the one who talked about the Lindy Fralin Pickups and the Highway One 70's headstock

Great vid man!

I love that solo.

Chris your amazing just subscribed and discovered you , what a talent you are 👍

Just browsing out there. I cant see a single cover. You re too good man

Awesome thx for doing this man - I couldnt get the tab soon enough ! To my ears this solo and feel def has a Gilmour feel about it and imho you are most definitely getting up there in DGs orbit Now off to spend the next 1000hrs trying to nail a fraction of the feel of this 😊 Cheers, Tim

Another vid from the man himself!

I love how you impro Blue Chris much respected bud

Great solo! Great lesson!

CHRIS BUCK is a legend!

You're playing is absolutely incredible. David Gilmour is my favourite guitarist and even though you have different style your playing really remind me of his. Just divine!

It’s a great album.

THAT'S what i call a guitar solo !!! Fuckin´hell of a solo

Ed King of Lynyrd skynyrd in the 70's did that slide harmonic pull off on the solo of Saturday night special. Amazing to see it being used in a more modern text. Awesome playing.

Nice SONG!

Cheers Chris. That semitone slide thing is something I really like but is missing from my playing, nice to have a set piece to practice it with. Thanks and hope you make to The Brook in Southampton when you tour. :)

OMG! 1:07 on.... your tone and note choice is amazing!

Que solo fantástico!

Wow, Chris awesome breakdown of your thinking and action on this solo. Your tone, technique and melody are just spot on. At some point, could you do a breakdown on how you set your gear to accomplish this tone (I’m certain others have already asked)? And I LOVE Slow Train! Cheers!

Awesome man. Came here from Paul Davids...great tone and style. Absolutely love it!

That was some tasty playing 👌 Very tasty.

Your videos make me interested in playing my strat! I'm mostly an acoustic player, but I have a Squier strat that I modded the electronics to try out a cool idea. I've got it set up with 10.5's and I'm always amazed how much it resonates. It's a Squier for crying out loud! (probably highly resonant because the body is knotty pine...) I've had it for 7 years, and have hardly played it. But your videos make me think, "Hey, I ought to sit down and try that..." Not only that but I have actually tried things I saw you do, not just thought of it.

Had that track on in the car loads since i got the album , Tone and Taste as always mate :-)

So talented yet so accessible! Thank you for making this video, Chris. Planet Rock played Slow Train last week and I was blown away😮 You certainly inspire me to pick up the guitar again. You mentioned SRV - and I know you’re doing UK dates atm. I’d love to come watch. But have you thought of Austin’s South By Southwest music festival? Wish you every future success 😊

While I agree to your point in getting in to the headspace is more important, This is a wonderful solo worth deep diving in terms of phrasing & expression Chris! Phenomenal playing!

Know I realize that you are such an underrated guitar player. Paul Davids show me your talente and I'm not dissapointed, I AM REALLY AMAZED.

Top! Thank you

Safe to say my mother and I would love to play like Chris Buck

Great vid, please do a Tove Lo solo break down. Love your rendition it's just awesome

It's reminiscent of the intro to 'Boys of Summer' by Don Henley & one of my favourite Henley tracks!

I’ve watched the video twice now, I still can’t play like you. I want my money back!

Brazilian here. Oh man, love your style. Keep going and thank you!

Man it would be amazing to add timestemps to this one way or another

the way you bend strings looks so different than other literally you've got you style as well.....

You should see you do it live sometime ... maaaaan!

I don’t know about everyone else but I want to learn to play like you!! Oh and Peter green!! 😜

Really cool Chris, thanks man. I bet you wear out some volume pots huh? Lol 😁. Love the lesson with explanations, really good stuff!

You can tab and practice all you like. This is feel.

In those types of vids it could be even intresting to see/know the signal path, if not secret.

Amazing! Would be interesting to have the backing track, at least the solo part! This solo is a great piece to work on! :)

Chris Buck for Pink Floyd lead guitar!!!! Bam Homie. Well done

Hello Chris !! Big fan here.. Just a little request if you could make an instructional video on the technique you demonstrate on this video at 9:50 minutes on how to articulate a single note , hitting and muting all the way from top strings.

Been wondering why I can't find the record out there to buy it!!! ....it's not out yet!!! Haha. Looking forward to that release date!

They say the tone is mostly in the fingers. I think these videos suggest that may not be completely true. Like Sampson; it's in the hair. "After the gig, you come home either holding your guitar, or carried on it."

1:09 HOLY SHIT BRO

👍🔥🎸🦅

Just bought the Tab (and i'd already learnt half the solo from the video), why did i buy the tab(?) because Chris is AWESOME and he's gotta make a living. He gives so much help and advice for free and if you get the chance to chat to him, then you'll know what i mean when i say he deserves every success - saw him again at Peach Guitars and got some great advice on how to 'tame' my Pedal Pawn fuzz ;)

You’re amazing Chris! I bought you tab and with this video this is excellent to learn! I learnt a lot today thanks to you! This is a Em pentatonic correct?
