Dharma is a monster player.

Blue Oyster Cult is a great band, and Donald Roeser AKA Buck Dharma is a brilliant guitar player, a true LEGEND

love boc when I was 15 a friend down the street gave me their first album for my birthday. I was a drummer then. Now I'm a guitar player.

As if your golf videos weren't great enough, I now find you playing Buck, awesome.

I learn more from Tom than any of my other youtube guitar guys. He gives more insight as to how to do it and why.

reminds me of "The Wizard" by Black Sabbath

Dude!!! Your golf videos are the freakin' bomb...had no idea you rocked the six-string as well. BOC was the headliner at my very first concert, New Year's Eve 1977 @Rochester War Memorial Aud, w/opening band AC/DC! Buck Dharma is an absolute monster guitarist, one of the all-timers IMHO. BTW, snuck in 18 today up here in chilly Upstate NY (48' w/ light rain but no snow.) went 40-38 thanks to your awesome tips. You rock my man!

My band Ebenezer The Crow covers this song. I learned the rhythm of it about 5 years ago. It was a challenge for sure. When we had to let go of our lead player at the time I stepped up and learned the lead and that was even more challenging. It definitely helped my playing to learn this song as well. Glad to see people exploring and sharing songs like this. 🤘

Buck Dharma! All the guitar you need to know!

He is one of the best. Have had the privilege to see him 4 times!

Love BOC, it shocked my young grandsons when I knew the song Godzilla lol I said hey thats a great song. To them 50 is old! Lol. Great episode as usual

The interview on KZfaq is solid fire. Fire. Buck is a monster 👺

Tom, though he shows impressive melodical speed picking on "Burnin ..." he really is an impeccable player isnt he ? DR proves you dont have to "Shred" to be an articulate and gifted writer / player. All BOC fans know this song. But "Classic" radio only plays a small rotating selection of "hits". May I suggest you check out & perhaps showcase another Dharma composition. "I love the night" from the Spectres album. It's Sublimely unique, and ethereal. Very unusual pattern in its Melody structure. And the lead is a masterpiece of beauty in restraint. I first saw them live 12/31/79 when I was 16, & had to learn the lead before I went to sleep on New Years. I'm sure you'll love it too ❤️🎶🎸👍✌️

BOC's 'Cities on Flames' is kinda like a more technically demanding version of Black Sabbath's 'The Wizard'; check it out. If you want to hear another Call & Response-type Guitar Riff from BOC which uses a very cool half-cocked Wah sound for the single-note response line to the power-chord question, check-out: E.T.I. (Extra Terrestrial Intelligence), from their 1976 album, Agents of Fortune - yes, this is the same album which included the track: '(Don't Fear) The Reaper', on it. These BOC tunes really make me miss the 70s. Enjoy!

Good stuff man...👍 I haven't heard that song for at least a couple decades...

Pretty cool seen blue oyster cult thru the 70s several times.

I met BOC and got to talk to Don and got their autographs at the station night club in Rhode Island,.... the one that burnt down during the great white concert

Great song and demo! Nice! Is that an Epiphone Les Paul Standard? Did you Mod it? I see the Boss Katana there.

Nice job, Tom. ROCK SAFE OUT THERE!

That is cool thank you, i dont play in F# minor often and this just opened it up to me the 1, 3 , 5 and add the along with the blues scale riff this is just fun and of course i just play the rhythm and lead my own way but wow, it really is amazing how the old timers found what they did concidering all they usually had were there guitars and there minds but tht is where it was at you didnt have games systems or cell phones or computers you just had yourself your guitar and time, i started late in life i grew up dedicated to sports, i feel foolish now if i only knew then what i know now i would have started playing when i as 10 but i can play some and im always growing so i keep going, thanks bro keep them comming, and sorry for such a long respnse but you got my adrenalim up with this one and i did subscribe.

Thank you very much.. who says Chad's can't rock.. subscribed!

We all need more Buck Dharma tricks in our repertoire. Anyone found good resource beside the records?

Yay🤩

Kinda of reminds me of beating around the bush. By mal. & Ang. Respectfully

BOC FOREVER!!!!!

Love the eff sharp. Though I prefer to call it gee flat.

What song is that? I'm taking a deep dive into boc

Are you tuned to the record?

Could someone tell me what song this? I never heard him say the name of the song.

Rodziwwa!

Man you play a lot funkier than you appear.

Ha, funny I saw BOC in 1978.,, for me it was Godzilla, although after 54 years I am still trying to perfect don’t fear the ..,,reaper.
