Honestly, your playing is probably the best I've ever heard and I really don't say that lightly. It's on another level.

[@whitex4652]

Why don't you put all your intros up to Bandcamp?

[@SomeKindOfMadman]

I’ve always though so too. In his 40s he’s gonna be one of the Greats, he’s a legend now but, he’s gonna age like fine wine

[@morgizmo87]

Right. People sleeping on Chris Buck, one of the best in the game. Aside from his technical playing which seems about as good as anyones, his musicality is elite level. He has an ear for what sounds good. That’s more important, more impressive and more rare than technical playing in my book. He’s got it all.

[@richardhuckle5715]

Totally agree. Really interesting playing that you want to watch. And tries not to be repetitive.

[@yonitznkc]

Chris Buck plays like some 3-headed love child sired by Jeff Beck, Robben Ford, and Larry Carlton.

[@kbcarroll]

Chris: *puts hours and hours of effort into a video to educate us on gear, musical history surrounding it, the science of how it works and why it sounds the way it sounds* His Subscribers: *ignores all of it just talk about his guitar playing*

[@gratata.enchilada]

i mean his guitar playing has taken him a lot longer than anything so ?? he’s an insane player why not focus on that

[@eddiejr540]

He’s got 165k subs...I’m sure not all of them are just here for the guitar playing...I’m pretty sure a lot of them “get it”...I totally get your point though!!!

[@davidw4664]

Ya I love Chris too but the fanboy gushing in the comments gets a bit much dont it

[@flotenn3351]

Yeah and nobody appreciates his incredibly good style of dressing either...

[@Ivartshiva]

I came her to complain about his diction and story-telling sequencing

[@bryanchurchill1]

The magic of Chris’s playing is in his right hand. Complete freedom of diversity in his touch, dynamics and switching of techniques between thumb, fingertips and pick. Just awesome.

[@gawar6736]

His left hand with amazing vibrato is quite good also :)

[@vintagetone22]

bro that intro was explosive .the rake and the repeated picking on one note is amazing .you are my guitar hero now .that it.🎵🎸🎵

[@chipsterb4946]

That intro just blew me away. Fantastic! Now I’ll have to re-listen in an attempt to focus on the delay.

[@Dog-jk7nc]

You are the best playing guitarist on KZbin

[@davidharding200]

Each week with the release of Friday Fretworks I comment on what a truly amazing guitarist Chris is. But this week I’m going to comment on his presentation style. Each week Chris is able to deliver these videos as if he were a professional presenter. As if that was his craft. He’s articulate, personable and engaging and is able to craft delivery of the English language as he does notes from a fretboard. Beyond that it’s his week to week ability to deliver depth of information with fluidity and confidence on varying topics that also amazes me. I don’t think he’s reading from an auto cue. If you are Chris it would be nice to know because that might be an indication that you are indeed mortal. Phenomenal as always.

[@andrewnicholson3448]

I could FEEL that lifted knee at 1:21. Well played as always, sir.

[@longtalljay]

The best musician running a YT channel!

[@juandavidcortes6503]

Dude im just here to tell you that you are one of my guitar heros and that I wish that some day ill be a guitar player as amazing as you are, hugs from Colombia

[@schesbh1]

This young man’s ears hear something different and better than the rest of us and I enjoy every moment of his playing.

[@jeffmckinnon5842]

@@schesbh1 With respect, this young man's ears are no different than anyone else who has stood in front of a screaming amp for decades. His level of commitment is what makes the difference. Natural ability is but a sliver in the overall musician, especially when it comes to the guitar. "Short stubby fingers" were my excuse for not taking music more seriously when I was a kid. Turns out I was wrong. Chris is not showing us things we can not do. He is showing us things that we can do, and he even gives us close ups to "borrow" from!

[@jasong546]

Good god you put all the heavies alive today to shame, except for your humility and being a nice guy. Such a fan.

[@CraigHollabaugh]

Cheers Chris, thanks for the info...info...info....

[@nevillecragg9066]

You know Chris means business when he turns the volume up to 11 five times in one solo 🙌🏻

[@Terribleguitarist89]

When that dirty edge hits in the intro solo... THAT is the tone right there.

[@tommymartinez1788]

Chris's ability to build and release tension is absolutely fantastic

[@WDeeGee1]

It's called music. Not many musicians around, really. Lots of people playing instruments, though.

[@randolphvanhook5829]

Dude, you’re playing is so sublime. It’s a privilege just to listen. Thank you.

[@emerycomputer]

Yep, it's always the same for me: he talks gear → starts playing → I forget gear/start listening to his playing

[@archinsoni1254]

As I said I watch his videos mainly to listen to him play. The rest is just a bonus.

[@elihintz5620]

Geez that intro jam was fucking amazing

[@simonverkerk8392]

Thats some fine playing Chris!!

[@miles_tones8970]

Love the new setup!

[@bakerzermatt]

Binson also made some cool el84 and el34 amps that you can find knocking about in Italy. Extremely well made by hand, and just about indestructible. A friend once found one thrown away on a rubbish tip (!) and it still worked!

[@mannyfragoza9652]

i like how you are almost falling of the chair with passion. I try to play with this kind of passion most of the time

[@mikerayco]

Outstanding hybrid picking, that intro was on fire!

[@ricardoslhenriques]

I'll stretch it a bit, by saying this is your best intro yet..

[@ZitherBeast]

That was a Kick-Ass opening jam. That was sweet as hell.

[@johnnolan4312]

What a treat!!

[@mykeychainrecords]

Wonderful show, Chris!!!! Thank you!!!

[@simoneboschin]

I had the chance to play one for few months …. The most mind blowing experience I had … such a richness in tone and weirdness at same time. Needless to say that I’m a huge fan of Pink Floyd :) Now I own a Boonar… amazing pedal. The best one for me

[@phillipasby9202]

Love the echorec sound! FWIW the version in the Boss DD500 (and probably 200) is excellent for a digital recreation - and Chris stellar tones and information as usual. I always look forward to your warm welcome on Fridays!

[@billkeaveney1526]

That revstar tone is sweeeet some Jeff Buckley vibes cheers Chris

[@rockdfunk]

these videos are so well put together, great job with everything, playing, tones, information, everything!

[@PeterMoore350]

Great history lesson and bro your playing on this was stellar 😎 Greetings from NZ

[@jhstony]

Bye 👋 Chris, thanks for another amazing video this week, you are brilliant 🤩

[@d-sidespazuzu8971]

Your intros are so inspiring

[@Hockeyguy1021]

Chris you're an inspiration! I just learned the final "tell me how it feels" solo... Except the ending bend god damn... sliding from the 21st bend into a 2 step 22nd bend.. unreal

[@alphadoom4970]

Fucking Historic. I've never seen a guitarist so free of convention create such a compelling moment. Just incredible young man. Keep it up!

[@GaveMeGrace1]

Wow! Thank you

[@DDE_ADDICT]

i love the green level indicator wow

[@Godisnotmyshepherd]

Ohh boy the echorec, what an incredible echo hall 🥰

[@sjazzp]

You made those P-90 roar amazingly! What a great piece of history!

[@eddiejr540]

Watch Chris’s right hand, how he switches from fingers to pick...incredible!!....love the Friday Fretworks!!!!!

[@TheBhannah]

amazing production with the sound !

[@macleanclassics]

Just amazing.... what was this video about again ? Stunned after the opening. Your playing is like a pineapple mango smoothy... Its tangy, refreshing, smooth , has bite and when its done, you're left with a fuzzy feeling on your tongue and complete satisfaction ! Thank you Mr Buck

[@Ben-Ken]

I know learning is a journey and not a destination but if I could play like Chris, I would feel like I've reached my destination.

[@sagej1574]

WOw.......beautiful...You are so nine to the universe.....gratitude.....

[@kevinbridger2989]

Sublime as always Chris.. Its great that you still find the time to put these gems together ✌❤🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@NOLASkaGuitarist]

Not only do you have great taste in guitar gear, you like your watches too! I also own a Steinhart.

[@davidevans3175]

I am extremely critical about KZbin guitar players especially the whole "shredder" lot of crap. But you, you're phenomenal. You're the real thing.

[@johnmac8084]

Fascinating guitar tech history, and great playing Chris, thanks

[@Merfunk]

Love you included the pictures and footage of the Echorec's places in history. I always look forward to Friday Fretworks, Chris, cheers!

[@wesleygraham786]

That intro solo was absolutely epic

[@coat.thik1]

Chris your playing is outstanding

[@sschario60]

Grew up in the 70s. Could never have imagined from where these otherworldly sounds emanated. Thanks Chris. Wonderful research and presentation.

[@mygreatbigfoot1679]

Great explanation thanks.

[@AnMuiren]

Well done that. Thanks for all the work putting this together. Enjoyed the intro and extro playing of course ,♥️

[@dobster5819]

Brilliant artistry Chris, your awesome tone on the intro was especially beautiful. Thank you very much.

[@JustsmudgeX]

Awesome man! For tech geeks like me you're so far beyond informative! That intro clip blew my mind btw. One of the most beautiful solos I have literally ever heard.

[@less_concerned1221]

Your playing was great and the video was really interesting! I’ve always wanted an Echorec. I have old echoplexes and Space Echoes, but the Binson is just a different animal.

[@thebreakfastmenu]

Wow. That Echorec is in seriously great shape.

[@mikeatl4953]

Another great video, very interesting and really nice playing highlights. Thanks, keep ‘em coming.

[@justinweekesdotcom]

Chris you move people like SRV, Hendrix, Page do!! Keep wailing!!

[@brucelittle3958]

Loved the detail and research in this! You are the best Chris!

[@Momentum88]

A great echo just makes that subtle difference. Thanks for sharing man.

[@Whitewallsessions]

Absolutely throttling that Dakota at 13:31! Love it

[@michaeldunkley4287]

Awesome content, presented with great maturity and poise. Love everything about your channel, from the history, equipment comparisons, and the cherry on the cake, your esquisitely tasteful playing. Rock on buddy, you've got talent to burn and many new horizons to transcend. Thanks from the heart ❤️

[@simonverkerk8392]

love your historic clips and tech tips, I learn so much!

[@dreamscuba]

Monstrously good intro and outro pieces of music as always. And a very informative video on effects history. Nice. Thank you.

[@marvelherman419]

Truth be told your playing is genuine.

[@CanyonWanderer]

Wow, I really like your playing! I came here out of curiosity for this iconic effect, but stayed for the playing! The technology of this effect is very interesting and it really pays off, sounds incredible. Your playing made that shine, thanks, subscribed

[@timbaxter9932]

What a great walk down memory lane! Awesome tones......

[@beachcomber4141]

Really incredible playing!! And those tones!!! Man, your killing it here.

[@CorvusCoroneCanisLupusSawel]

You're playing, feel and soul is fucking majickal, sir!

[@Kessellish]

That tone at 11.24 is incredible. Your playing just wow

[@achoice2bmade]

Thank you as always! Your info is top shelf! I'd love to see you release a vid of all (or many) of your intros in a row!

[@johnmoser2689]

Great video Chris... love the playing as always

[@v45magnum32]

Wow! Awesome tone and your playing is amazing!

[@davidleinweber]

Some amazing playing young man. Enjoyed the details on echo. Always been kind of a mystery to me but so integral to classic guitar sounds

[@timjx3675]

Fantastic video 🔥 great to see you playing through the real thing ! - I loves my Boonar 🎸👍

[@jock8113]

Excellent playing and technical knowledge. So young, but already a legend.

[@renodavid]

What a gorgeous sound with that original unit. It must be inspiring to play through.

[@chr1st_122]

Mind blowing intro solo

[@paulgob40]

Nice job!

[@bstoner1300]

@Yamaha when are you gonna do a Chris Buck signature Revstar?

[@sirstashalot7441]

Awesome opening jam as usual

[@ronbrunswick9300]

Rarely bother to comment, but wow, I do love Chris Buck's playing.

[@hearpalhere]

Man, that sound when it was just about to oscillate is so beautiful!

[@canadiandivertv9152]

Love your playing. Love your insights.

[@ClaudioMartella]

Few but well selected notes, like mr Gilmour

[@jondarinre77]

Thanks Chris. Great video. Enjoyed it very much.

[@russellkane9439]

Fantastic trip in another era... didn t know binson echorec was made here in Milan Italy... many thanks for your research and for letting us hear the original sound of it

[@tonedragon8616]

Have no idea how I missed this one. Just inherited a 2011 fulltone TTE can’t st to take it for a test run tonight! Amazing as always Chris! One of the biggest inspirations for me in music.

[@zenwolf6617]

Intro is Amazing ❤

[@Umbinator]

I'm speechless Chris. Unreal playing in that intro. I better get practicing.

[@philfyphil]

I had one of the original valve Wem Copicats and that was amazing. Even with echo switched off, the unit was such a beast of a pre-amp.

[@carnivaltym]

So dynamic!

[@jackk100]

Holy sh*t that last solo... first time I've commented on a youtube video... that was outstanding! Also, super-intriguing info about the Binson, it lead me into a few discussions with friends and lots of looking at Reverb for pedals ;-). Thanks!

[@friedrudibega6384]

You make us all want to be better players. Lovely tones!

[@TK-fk4po]

Damn that jam was SICK

[@Tatasko]

You do not hide your tudor under your cuff :) solo is fu... amazing as always!

[@4gotin1]

Very enlightening

[@BruceHamiltonmusic]

Echorec’s are my favourite delay! My Catalinbread Echorec is my favourite pedal of all time!
