My New Patrick James Eggle... | Friday Fretworks

[@LennyJohnson5]

Gorgeous guitar, great player..... it's brilliant to see skilled craftsmen coming together, to put a beautiful instrument into the hands of a worthy musician.

[@derrickholmes2586]

Very well said Lenny....I am so impressed with his playing. The guitar is just fabulous.

[@niptodstan]

It was a good review and I'd bet they sell some guitars off the back of it. His playing was really tasty and a great clean sound. The reverb was really good too.

[@desmo999]

Faaantastic sound, wonderfull played and she is a real Beauty! Also the wonderfull story from Six String Tales! Great to see that somebody is loving his job.

[@CallumJWright]

I learn something new every time I watch you play

[@JeeWeeDonkers]

I just love the wood 'binding' on this guitar. Superb craftmanship. I have been lusting for Eggle guitars ever since the early nineties.

[@LennyJohnson5]

I agree; so subtle and such craftsmanship. Patrick Eggle has a special touch.

[@JamesBrown-ef4nc]

You know it's a good LP type guitar when there's a twang that cuts through the warmth, almost like a tele, many modern singlecuts can't achieve this - great video!

[@leemartin2978]

If it makes you smile every time you play it, it’s worth every penny. Sounds beautiful through my headphones. I wish you years of happiness with it

[@kjatexas3679]

Always impressed by your beautiful, melodic playing.

[@haydonroberts7883]

The finest guitar I have heard in 60 years, the tonal warmth and resinance is incredidible, made by master in North Wales and played by another master in South Wales - my ears are still ringing ! Thanks Chris

[@talkychris]

Oswestry is in England. Near Wales, but not in it.

[@annie4971]

I forgot this was about a beautiful guitar, l couldn’t take my eyes off your hands, effortless!💝

[@johnlambert8375]

I’m an advanced guitarist with a fussy taste in music, and I just love your guitar style, the chording and tasteful licks you choose are approaching perfection 👌

[@jcoulter43]

Very happy for you Chris! No one better than you to make that masterpiece sing🎸👍😎

[@davidyates8880]

He makes beautiful guitars and your playing does justice to it. You're an exceptionally beautiful and gifted player. A joy to listen to. The guitar sounds wonderful in your hands. :)

[@keithclayton1271]

Beautiful demonstration. I love the emotion in your playing. Thank you.

[@Bigthoogs]

Chris, I cant thank you enough for taking the time out of your busy schedule to put out an amazing video each and every week. It keeps me inspired to push on and progress in my playing. You an absolute monster of a player that i could never dream of accomplishing. Keep up the great work my guy, and i hope to one day catch a Buck and Evans show here in the states.

[@ChrisBuckGuitar]

-TimHoogerhyde- Thank you so much Tim! That’s incredibly kind of you 🙂

[@Nowo78]

Great sounding guitar, and sublimely played as always, thanks!

[@keithshwalbe6981]

Lovely video Chris. Thanks for sharing with us bonny lad. That's probably the best guitar run thru I've ever heard xx

[@parkerfilms1]

Beautiful, just beautiful.

[@kwu2242]

really nice playing and instrument. I can see the appeal of both😊

[@RatherBeRiffing]

'LP' passion reignited indeed! Sensing the immediate bond with this one - beautiful! Been down a similar road myself.

[@Stratblooz]

Stunning tones and stunning playing !

[@guilhermebatlleyfont7577]

That bit starting at 3:28 was just heavenly, probably one of the best neck humbuckers I've heard in awhile, extremely fine playing Chris!

[@alexf1285]

Ok Chris, please put me out of my misery, what song is the (beautiful) chord sequence at 3:33 reminiscent of? A Clapton number? I can't find it... I think I've ruled out Buckley, Green... please, anyone help!

[@ChrisBuckGuitar]

Alec F Hmmm. Not entirely sure. Maybe Rain Song, Zeppelin?

[@nigelvernon4431]

@@ChrisBuckGuitar Thanks for that, I've been tearing my hair out over this! Never would have got that it was a Zep song. Just listened to it and yes it's 'The Rain Song', but you've made it your own Chris, a beautiful version.

[@patfloyd]

Sounds lovely. What kind of pickups!??!?!??

[@brownsfan7753]

I hope this guitar brings years of inspiration!!! Thanks for sharing!

[@Buc27blount]

Man that is a beautiful guitar. It's similar to a Les Paul, but it really has it's own identity.You are great player, and can I see that you really have bonded with this instrument.

[@philf4086]

Your playing - and that reverb - are just ethereal.

[@urbanjunglegroove1238]

What a real beauty! Very nice! I've got a Patrick Eggle Tony Eggle Tony Iommi Legend prototype and the guitar has an amazing quality and sounds fantastic!

[@mattchurchill]

Beautiful axe and beautiful playing👍

[@WS-ij1fu]

Beautiful playing

[@Guitarman007]

I totally dig the fact you chose the non perfectly figured maple top. It has so much more interesting character, and for me at least, resonates with the notion that the music that moves us the most is very organic and imperfect at just the right moments.

[@snaxandviolence]

Well said

[@stephenmccarthy1597]

I remember going in a pawn shop 1972 with my uncle he needed a clock radio there was a les paul on the wall a burst it changed me forever

[@wolfey4138]

Gorgeous guitar and playing, thanks for sharing! *Love the Grolsch strap locks, they work like a charm!

[@TristanPinkham]

Gorgeous guitar, gorgeous tone, and gorgeous playing!

[@Tolbiny]

Love the new HD! Great stuff Chris.

[@ChrisBuckGuitar]

Tim Stevens Cheers Tim! Does it seem higher res to you? I haven’t got a clue what I’m doing with Final Cut but I tried a different quality export this week 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Tolbiny]

Buck And Evans I noticed it instantly. The clarity has gone up a notch. Not that it was bad before, but it looks even better now. Oh, and of course it sounds amazing :).

[@ChrisBuckGuitar]

Tim Stevens Cheers Tim 🙂

[@Tolbiny]

Can’t wait for Bristol tomorrow :)

[@vernonhoover1387]

Beautiful les paul.beautiful ebony board.I like everything about it! Great demo,but if like to hear it scream some.fantastic stuff!

[@gggyg3296]

Patrick makes some stunning guitars, had a few Berlins over the years.

[@badalicemusic]

“Incredibly enviable”? Yes. Incredibly well deserved? HELL yes. Delighted to see this happen😎👌🙌

[@ginglegangle]

Looks stunning and sounds even better. WOW!! Lucky Bugger 😂

[@chedhead3278]

Cheers Chris, gorgeous looking and sounding thing that. You are indeed a lucky boy, but.....it works, I want one. :)

[@rolandashdown4903]

Lucky chap! I had the great privilege to build my own guitar under the watchful eye of Mark Bailey (Bailey Guitars) who learnt his trade with Patrick at his factory in Coventry all those years ago. If you get time, check out Bailey guitars too, Mark makes really good acoustics (amongst other fine instruments). Keep well, and enjoy.

[@stanesposito2664]

Great sounding and beautiful guitar! Good for you! ☺

[@Minor7thb5]

You have tone for days. Beautiful guitar and a great player.

[@eaglewindrider7700]

I could feel the luv awesome and one gorgeous guitar 👍🔥🎸🦅

[@musiccreation1198]

Wow...finally a "LP" I like !!

[@RJRonquillo]

Sounds sweet!

[@ChrisBuckGuitar]

Thank you mate ☺️ Hope you’re well!

[@stello1972]

Man you need to post me your fingers! I’ll pay top dolla! Awesome playing. Great, easy, self effacing presenting style. Bootiful. Follower for life. You’d better keep the fingers then, thinkin about it.

[@davidLPST]

man that sounds fabulous. WANT.

[@FelipePAlmeida]

It looks beautiful, man!

[@jacko717]

CB is rapidly becoming one of my favourite guitarists.

[@LennyJohnson5]

He certainly has a very special talent.... phrasing and feel to spare.

[@jacko717]

@@LennyJohnson5 as a complete hack player who regularly murders blues and classic rock tunes, I agree Sir.

[@bhorozal]

Great playing, thank you!

[@javsmith86]

Just found your channel. I know I am old when a guy says he was into Les Paul's from watching Slash when he was a kid! I am heading in 3 days to 60, and my guitar idol was from your side of the pond, of course, with Jimmy Page, who I saw with Zep (as a kid) on their last date ever in the US, and locally in San Francisco, Neal Schon on the first 4 Journey albums, before they changed direction with Steve Perry. Looking forward to watching more!

[@mjallenuk]

Dang! Always loved PJE's guitars. Played a couple and always wanted one. One day I might be worthy .... to have one played at my funeral :-P

[@spydiggerous]

Amazing playing, as always! What reverb were you using on that 2nd video of you playing (around 4:00)? Gorgeous tones.

[@ChrisBuckGuitar]

Greg Speier Cheers Greg! It was a Native Instruments GuitarRig (the amp simulation software I use) plug in called Traktor12. It’s a long, ambient style reverb 🙂

[@spydiggerous]

@@ChrisBuckGuitar Very cool...loved the way it decayed so gradually without making things too messy.

[@dmac-333]

Man what is that chord at 3.33? sounds awesome.

[@weschilton]

Wow, that guitar looks and sounds stunning. Whats the reverb you are using on the middle piece? Gorgeous playing, so much feeling.

[@JDODify]

Chris, last Friday you pulled an amazing face-melter during Impossible on a black (Or dark in those lights) Gibson. Looked like a single pickup too. Can you tell us more about it.

[@ChrisBuckGuitar]

JDODify Haha. Just a 1960 Les Paul Jr with PAF I had knocking around 😆 Nah, someone I know was kind enough to bring it down for me to play. It was bloody lovely!

[@JDODify]

@@ChrisBuckGuitar wow. That is cool. If you ever get your hands on it for a Friday Fretworks I'd love to see it in more detail. I love those really simple old guitars.

[@davepilgrim5798]

I fell like single coils match perfectly your playin' style. I like them more in your hands. But you are definetly able to let humbuckers sings. 👍👏

[@frankswildyear]

Me too, the strat picks up all Chris’s nuances

[@oldgittarist]

Lovely guitar!

[@aster5193]

How do you get such an open and clean sound out of humbuckers??

[@sugarlife485]

the maker

[@antreb15]

Lovely Guitar. Also, check out a Nik Huber Orca. They are mind-blowing.

[@OutstandingBill1]

Nice video Chris! What reverb are you using here? Sounds v lush

[@stratmagic6893]

why no binding on the neck?

[@ChrisBuckGuitar]

stratmagic Why not? 🙂

[@ricardoslhenriques]

Hi Chris. Great playing as always. I’m a sucker for LPs too, but I always find there’s a certain “muffleness” to the sound, when going fingerstyle. That’s why I always end up turning to the P90s goldtop i have, and thing just speaks volumes to me. Do you happen to have any video with P90s? If not, you should. ☺️ Cheers man

[@tomfairbairn1202]

That’s something special there

[@Dartheomus]

Jeeez.. Just checked out Patrick's site. Those guitars are beautiful. I like the classic headstock too. Given the depth of the grains on the woods he uses, I would easily mistake this for a high-end PRS McCarty 594 single cut at first glance. I hope I get to hold one of these someday!

[@ronzinale]

Can you tell why you don't use it anymore?

[@craigshipley666]

Great to see someone take a "Les Paul" and do something so pretty vs just slamming it into a 100 watt Marshall or something similar. Not that there's anything wrong with that, its fantastic. But this is some beautiful playing outside of the normal LP box.

[@werahikoclay2208]

Hey awesome watching from poroporo whakatane new Zealand

[@ChrisVye]

Awesome guitar Chris and great playing as always... but hey.... the reverb on this is gorgeous... you wouldn't share the name of the unit used and setting would you ? ... sounds perfect.

[@ChrisBuckGuitar]

Chris Vye Cheers Chris! It’s a plug-in from Native Instruments GuitarRig called Traktor. Reading between the lines, I think it’s their take on a Neunaber Immerse 🙂

[@ChrisVye]

Thanks so much for the reply.. sounds great... excited for you guys... I think the time is right.. wishing you much sucess!

[@cgavin1]

I love my Les Paul but its taken years for me to stop trying to play it like a strat. I get so frustrated whenever I put any gain through the neck pickup and it just flubs out. Now I've stopped the hate and just accept that Les Pauls don't do 'neck' crunch, I'm enjoying it a lot more .. and using the middle position to do what the neck won't.

[@gonebymidnight2881]

A good unpotted low wind PAF with a low value cap will definitely give you that IME. I did not experienced this until I went unpotted Alnico V and a 0.015UF cap.

[@coolmacatrain9434]

Chris... when are you going to devote a whole video to Paul Kossoff's vibrato? :) ( Pretty please, with sugar on it! )

[@michaelzahnwehgitarre8957]

I had the great pleasure of testing one of those in a Store today. It is a stunning guitar. Perfect playability, light, resonant, "woody", just great in every respect and a perfect finish on a Top with just the right amount of flame. Only downside is, like many Les Paul inspired guitars that try to avoid beeing a direct copy, i looks kind of off-proportion and "bloated", but maybe thats just me. Matter of taste. Still an incredible instrument.

[@Mephisto698]

Buck and bonamassa would be the greatest duet

[@SRV4me]

Chris - great as always! Would you consider sharing your signal chain when you do your videos like this? For sure there is verb, but knowing if that is just the amp with verb or if there are pedals in the chain would be cool. Most of the tone is coming from your fingers (I know), but there is definitely some tone juice in there;-)

[@petergoddard1960]

Utterly beautiful instrument, I can't think of better hands for it to be in (other than mine).

[@willgoodfellow3144]

Glorious sounding guitar mate. What's the reverb your using in the middle demo?

[@ChrisBuckGuitar]

Will Goodfellow Thank you mate! Not entirely sure. Some ambient thing in GuitarRig. I’ll find out the name of it. Someone else was asking as well...

[@ennspek]

Pat is a legend. I bought him his first Thorpy pedal I think

[@j_drichmond]

Considering prices on Gibson Custom Shop, that is a very well priced guitar.

[@DavidMorisset]

Sick Tone, with that Reverb. That awesome guitar is secondary to your technique 😎. Congrats.

[@wkrqjq1896]

how does it compare to les paul do you think?

[@reviewforthetube6485]

Thanks for the inspirational licks it's really adding to my technique and style your style is beautiful and ai would love to accent just Little of it in mine it's got so much taste and feel like your singing through your guitar and that's the best analogy because it's TRUE the best guitarists are the ones that can make it sound like a voice and I've never heard a les tone like this its freaking beautiful she looks like she plays like a dream as ik sure she does

[@nicholaswoolfenden5254]

Great playing and guitar. Id love one but worry about resale.

[@ChrisBuckGuitar]

Nicholas Woolfenden Fair point. Resale on boutique instruments very rarely ever matches that of legacy brands unfortunately so that’s a very valid consideration - as such, I guess it’s a case of thinking of it as a purchase akin to a car; you lose money the moment it leaves the forecourt but you love it, use it and have a hell of a lot of fun with it while it’s yours. The bonus with a guitar is that it’ll last infinitely longer than a car 😉

[@TheAdambee7]

Being a Paul player for decades i've changed to other manufacturers. Eastman being one. But I'll def check this guy out.

[@Furtheronmusic]

That is a stunning guitar

[@restofthejunk01]

Beautiful technique and tone, much better than the usual 'Look how fast I can play this' shreddie shite that people normally put up......excellent.

[@jeanguion3223]

What kind of guitar rig are you playing thru on this video dude... It is gorgeous sounding...so warm and balanced....

[@williamsimanjuntak5263]

Man your playing is inspiring

[@simonnaji]

It looks and sounds gorgeous, Chris. Did you change your Guitar Rig settings much for this demo?

[@SixStringTales]

Thanks for the shout out Chris, the Macon looks killer!

[@alexandrebier4581]

Don't know if new camera gear, but keep 'em coming @ 50 fps. So smooth it feels like a buck bend!

[@ChrisBuckGuitar]

Alexandre Bier Cheers! Just a different export setting on Final Cut. Suffice to say I don’t really know what I’m doing with all of this stuff 😂

[@AlmostGrewMyHair]

Came here after the Peach Guitars single cut shootout. These Macons are so balanced in the tone.

[@Reyvil777]

So I'm curious and I haven't seen anyone ask you about it, what's up with your hair? Could you show it?

[@niptodstan]

What amp and effects are on this?

[@dannydaniels3252]

What kind of pickups?

[@jakobmorningstar]

Beautiful guitar and playing all the way around. I hope to one day own such a masterpiece and be able to play with such talent as yourself. Great video

You should try a maybach lester, they are good

fake gibson guitar

[@roger10coutinho]

OMG, Loki had a son and now he plays guitar. Thor must be proud of his nephew.

[@axsquire9362]

Immaculate guitar & playing...to me this screams single-cut PRS more than a Gibson. When I saw the thumbnail that’s what I thought you were reviewing. Regardless, awesome all around

[@fvcostanzo]

You've got something going on in the effects loop, but that aside, the tone that axe gets is amazing.

[@soundguyjimmy]

One piece body! Amazing tone
