[@ChrisBuckGuitar]

Thank you for having me guys. This was a hell of a lot of fun 🙂

[@jerrymckenzie6205]

You seem to be becoming quite the guitar hero Chris!

[@darrenc8776]

Nice one Chris. Love that attitude to your guitars if it good it's good yeah why drop 2k or 3k on a custom shop for touring. Most importantly love the boots man that's were the tones at mate

[@JayTheLane]

Thank you for the sweet tones Chris 💜

You are talented

Its a good thing Loki finally did something good this time

Glad to see Chris Buck's star is rising. The young man is SUPREMELY talented....

[@Pudge4400]

@@danielfort4345 uhhhhh.... who said anything even remotely related to your totally unnecessary comment? I never discounted Chris' hard work and determination... in fact, part of that talent I mentioned IS having the drive and capacity to put in the work necessary to get good. AND... I never said a word about myself lacking anything. You know what I hate? I hate when people extrapolate a whole lotta negative bullshit out of something that has NONE. Can't someone pay someone else a genuine heartfelt compliment without having it turned into something ugly?

Am I hallucinating or somebody genuinely just acknowledged that they're wrong on the internet? Wow! Good for you!

[@JohannesLabusch]

I'm just going to take this opportunity to rave about the Revstar from a design standpoint for a moment. This design is an instant classic. Guitar makers are always trying to reinvent the wheel, come up with something that'll stand out. And they usually go over the top in one way or another. There are so few good headstock designs, for example. The Revstar is what designers call "coherent". That means every element fits with every other element. This look has mojo, style and authority. There's nothing glitzy about it, it's very basic in a way, but every design decision is made with confidence. Bravo to whoever came up with this.

[@rigorhead01]

I had that same Highway One strat. It was one of the best strats I've ever owned. I traded it for a core PRS. The guy made me an offer I couldn't refuse, or I'd still own it. Great guitar.

COngrats Chris on your feature! Great guitarist.

[@sojerz1044]

Such an expressive player! It's interesting how someone like Jeff Beck is always utilizing his whammy bar for vibrato, Derek Trucks uses his slide, and Chris Buck is always shaking his guitar body... I love when guitarists have that effortless singing vocal quality to their playing cheers! I think I better start practicing :)

[@chrisjs6123]

Lovely Guy. Great player.

[@dogfalcon]

Just put a like in the start of the video...because surely I like it! So inspired player! What a TONE.

[@limadamata8883]

Fantatic sound, fantastic!

[@RandyWillcox]

Such a brilliant player. And I've had my V140 for a week and I absolutely LOVE it! It's the greatest amp I've ever owned! Mick, great videography as always!

[@goldens98]

How is the v140 for home use?

Good to see Chris getting noticed. Been a fan for quite some time and his talent and approach have inspired me since day one. Cheers

So many insane guitarist in England. Very tasteful playing over there

[@georgexmalandris]

What a player!

[@davegetsspam]

I tried looking at every video with Mr. Buck and he has talked about several of his set ups. He was taking about stereo set up with 2 very different amps and one of them had a very large speaker box with a a single 12 inch speaker in it. no good for the road unless you can afford lots of roadies. Its interesting how a guitarists set up can change so much.

[@hendrixdude]

Great video. great guitarist. Does Chris use the mid-kick on the V140? and I assume Voice I?

Awesome to see Chris chronicle some of his gear, what a sweet set of pick-ups with that amp.....almost don't need a pedal board haha

[@hellosailoreffectsofficial]

The most exciting guitarist from the UK at the moment

[@somerandomhomeboy]

I think that Chris Buck, Ariel Posen, Joey Landreth and anothers have tapped into a new way of playing electric guitar at least to my ears. Could some-one please do a video that explains their technique?

The world is taking notice of this man ... he’s possibly one of the best guitar players ever ... he gets that tone out of any guitar (even an acoustic) I hope he gets noticed around the world and becomes successful so we can all enjoy his music

[@gorimus]

"...he gets that tone out of any guitar (even an acoustic)" - so true that. And there are people who keep on fussing about tone wood, pick ups, pedals, amps, cabs, etc. A great example of "tone is in the hands".

[@betterthandeadohyea4500]

You need to get out more. There are tons on great guitar players that no one has ever heard of. He's about average on that scale.

[@gorimus]

@@betterthandeadohyea4500 [1] If there are tons of guitar players no one have ever heard of then they can't be great [2] I don't need to go anywhere - when I see a player and think they are talented then I don't need to compare [3] My visible universe are KZbin guitarists and players that can be seen on KZbin [4] I wonder who those "unheard great" "above average players" on your scale are - please enlighten - but I am sure they would have been featured in Guitarist magazine!

Sounds really great man , do you ever stack the straight flush with the black box ?

[@vincentsabatino4480]

The First song you played or first few bars sounded so sweet and clean ! What pickups were engaged and what were they called when you had them installed ,but I'm trying to get a more Jazz Strings ? Flat wound or Round wound ? I have a Made in Mexico Strat that sounds pretty good but I'm trying to get a Clean jazz sound from the neck pup playing through a Boss Katana 100. Any suggestions ? The Amp is really versatile because it comes with Software that can be tweaked to perform any type music (I'm sort of a jazz sound freak never any distortion or fuzz just chorus ,delay and a bit of reverb Great playing ! enjoyed the video liked and subscribed j

‘Sonic yoga mat’ 😂

I like the cut of this young mans jib. saving money on guitars and plectrum usage so you can buy more boutique pedals is genius ;)

@@somestratguy883 Its a really good Fender like core sound that is plenty bright, which was my biggest concern over the lunch box version, volume control is great and the overdrive sound is very good, good variety of sounds, its falls a bit with the reverb not as deep as a fender and the trem not going quite fast as most would like

Why do Americans always struggle to understand any accent other than their own, never met any other people group like it. Every one of my aussie friends who has visited the U.S has to slow down there speech and sound out every word with an attempted American accent just to be understood.

Hi Chris, some are in for the money, some for the gear - I am here to hear your playing, to listen. By the way - I don't believe in any brand anymore. I even took off the Fender logo from my Stratocaster and named it Antifender. Fender's degrading behaviour and conceitedness when I asked for support really pissed me off. Especially their "Masterbuilt" stuff is absolutely overpriced stuff that should be standard. (I have a dozen guys around me doing the luthier job much better without ripping anyone off). On the other hand I can understand musicians advertising for brands - we all have to pay our rent. When I hear/listen people like you playing it proofs that the player is everything - with some aspects to the gear of course. Even your short videos are an inspiration - epecially your right hand... I am already exercising some chops of yours. Thank you.

[@jimmyw2802]

who needs a custom shop fender when chris buck is using real inexpensive stuff.

[@startrekmike]

Probably those that want features that are specific to the custom shop models? I mean, you don't "need" to buy a custom shop to have a good guitar but there is no reason not to just because another guitarist gets by without one.

[@weschilton]

Michael Holmes ... exactly right.

[@weschilton]

Sure but he’s got a $5,000 pedal board. So what’s the difference?

[@austin5236]

So many overdrives lol

[@doctiberius2717]

Rolling down the highway pickup almost any Fender Strat or Tele and it will provide you with a reliable work horse right to the end of the road. Often cheaper to buy complete than the replacement of worn out parts. Bottom line is if it doesn't feel right in your hands just keep looking , sure it won't take long to find weapon of choice! 🎸

[@tjnugent62]

You paid $500 USD for your custom shop guitar from Fender? What a steal!

You know I love you and your amazing talent, but something is urging me to say: get a Two-Rock. I think you played Mick's Two-Rock at TPS. Victory are great amps, no doubt, but ...
