Gilmour's Black Strat on a Budget? | Friday Fretworks

[@mjallenuk]

Still happy with my 4 mill purchase to be honest....

[@socks4290]

Give me 4 million so that I can be happy also

[@johnnyd63]

I bought if for $4 million.I guess yours is a fake.

[@mcbrodz1663]

johnnyd63 I bought it for 8 million bro

[@lanerussell7958]

😂

[@bradleyshuppert3393]

I bought a Chinese copy for 200 and sound exactly like the album.... I saved 3 million 998k for other things like food and clothing and such.....

[@jasong546]

Unassuming looking lad melts your face off with inexpensive guitar. Love it!

[@JazzStrat781]

Well said. 😊

[@MrVirgilVox]

The Player makes the tone (to 90%). Gonna work on that fingernail raking :-)

[@OsbornIOW]

Jason. What a great way of putting it. I couldn't have said it better myself.

[@hypnos9356]

Loved this. So many people miss the point of Gilmour’s genius, it’s not speed, it’s not washing it out with too much delay and fuzz, it’s not hitting the trem bar every single note - it’s soul. Bro, you got Gilmour’s soul in your playing.

[@TheMikeygas]

no he doesnt, at what point during that intro was gilmours style, when was the last time you heard gilmour hitting around 50 notes in 5 seconds,

[@getgle]

@@TheMikeygas he has his own soul :)

[@CorbCorbin]

Your right. He also uses Uni-Vibe, Phasers, Rotary, Colorsound type OD, Clean Amps, Reverb, etc. I’m sure he’d sound just as good with only a guitar and an amp. Those effects are an integral part of what inspires him to play what he does. The rhythm tracks with Floyd wouldn’t be Floyd without the effects.

[@MrFroggyMan]

@@ClinicalDecisionYikesYT the time solo alone says otherwise TOOBEEAYCH

[@ramencurry6672]

Interestingly, with Gilmour’s pickups and guitar, it’s very versatile where a good guitarist could use it for a totally different style of music and it would still sound amazing and good enough to stay in his rig.

[@ryanboshell6124]

That guitar definitely had a cigarette after that playing.

[@erichansen47]

More like the player but mad props on comment!!

[@mehoymiboy2122]

Or did it have a cigar?

[@leeattoe9473]

Just came across this and wanted to say what a great sound and loved the playing. Anyone who plays a strat like that has my respect. Nice one

[@tophatdeer3784]

Never before have I had someone captivate me so quickly in a KZbin video. You sir have managed to channel David Gilmours spirit within your guitar and dude isn't even dead yet.

[@stephenfeldman8104]

This performance would give David Gilmour chills!

[@jeromewagschal9485]

You just proved that we (guitar players) don't need a ton of distortion to sound POWERFUL... Your style is the perfect combination of fire and grace...

[@Bikewithlove]

If I closed my eyes, I could tell that wasn’t Dave Gilmour - but I could tell it’s you. You’ve got your own tone, man.

[@MrLuigiFercotti]

Really nice playing there, the tempo, phrasing and feel definitely evokes DG.

[@ericlittle2369]

Your right hand technique makes me want to practice 10x harder. 🔥🔥🔥

[@belo1971]

The best left hand sinks Jimmy Connors and John Mc Enroe I have ever seen 🤣! Awesome....kindest regards from France

[@taylorgrant23]

Mills custom guitars makes EXACT replica the “relic” they do is stenciled on according to the exact wear. The wiring is exact and even the repairs that have been done are reproduced exactly. Look them up

[@tikitikibamboo]

You always play like you mean it. I love the bit at the end!

[@B-leafer]

Best ad for a squire I've ever seen! Shocking how well matched the bridge pup is..Can't figure it. You could probably do this for a living..lol.

[@ChrisJones-id7qq]

Hi Chris, I was really pleased to chat with you and watch you play at PMT music store recently. Epic video again, and I’m asking my wife to grab a copy of Guitarist mag today! Can’t wait for the album. Enjoy France fella.

[@SpedSpedding]

Fuck me for £500 ish that’s immense. Both in sound and looks. As always ridiculously tasty playing. 🤩

[@Aelmal]

Being honest, havnt bought Guitarist mag for years... Gonna jump back in this month tho! That playing at the end was effin awesome!

[@chriscxdblues]

Incredible playing Chris, keep pushing the boundaries

[@yrdbyrd_bjj]

Best solo I’ve heard in a while. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@drfakoo]

Ending track solo=EPIC...

[@rob3568]

That solo stood the hair up on my arm. Good going!

[@darrenwallguitar]

That solo needs a Friday Fretworks all to itself, sublime! Tab? 😂

[@jimmyjimmy951]

Now that was awesome. Eyes closed and as good as any high profile guitarist ever played at any time IMO.. Thanks for the reality check on where the music comes from.. Heart, soul & fingers not a high priced guitar (maybe high priced amp 😉).. 👍🎸🐨

[@pappyodanial]

It's apparently Guitar Rig... I can't believe he makes it sound that good.

[@jimmyjimmy951]

Will Mac Watched it again to confirm my first comment. ...👍🎸🐨

[@jordandangelo180]

Yeah I agree with you. If you just listened to the playing it’s some of the best ever

[@facuaguinaga6100]

another proof that what matters are the fingers. Sounds amazing, Chris!

[@garywordsworth9302]

I wouldn't worry about the cheeky fender decal on a non fender neck That's what the black strat has A charvel neck with a cheeky decal change 😉

[@MrSpock]

It had a charvel neck (22 fret) at one point but it has a legit fender neck currently

[@yrdbyrd_bjj]

Pretty sure it’s a mid 80s reissue neck, like on his Red Strat.

[@randoshus3762]

Play Authentic...🤔

[@Monomonmamon]

ran doshus *gibson wants to know your location*

[@rdaws73]

[@jimgriffiths5303]

Fab playing, as always and that black Strat would make a great giveaway to one very lucky subscriber.... *Hint* : )

[@ncreb86]

Congrats on the feature! Your playing is next level, brother.

[@tskjek08]

Congratulations Chris! Your star is definitely on the rise. Great video and superb playing as always.

[@robbertredert]

that intro!! reminds of what dweezil zappa said about the spider and the chicken.. great video as always!

[@anthonybrock9435]

I dinnae ken I've ever heard anyone play a Strat quite like you do, laddie. And I've been playing one for nearly fifty years. Just brilliant. 🍀🎸🍀

[@henry3414]

david gilmour was my favourite guitarist before this video. chris buck is my favourite guitarist after this video

[@henry3414]

valid take mate

[@SSRT_JubyDuby8742]

Fantastic playing, what a joy to listen to. Congratulations on the magazine article, what a nice moment to have in your life 😎🎸✅

[@chrisheise2912]

Nice black strat! Beautiful solo! Great job Chris. Cheers! 🎸

[@paultwiselton1996]

Lovely lovely playing Chris and WHAT a set of pups from the two Pauls aka the Welsh Wizards of Radioshop. Man alive I have so gotta get myself a set of those bad boys!

[@kevlar8632]

Ive just started listening to buck and evans and this is my favourite solo on the album. You’re one talented guitarist mate 👌🏻🎸

[@tramlad2]

A really nice guy, and what a player, my god you are good, keep the great updates coming, really enjoy them

[@kourcapie186]

Bravo pour cette belle démonstration finale .... superbe 👍👍💪

[@vintagevinylvets1187]

Thank you for sharing this Chris. Your solo made us “click” the subscribe button. Looking forward to future videos. Loved your playing, loved what you’ve done to the Squier. We own a Squier 70’s Vintage Modified(black w/maple fingerboard)and it is bone stock. We pick it up more than any other guitar at the studio. Be safe on the road and wishing ou much success.🙏🏻🎧🎸

[@RajorshiBhattacharyya]

Sublime tone, phrasing and execution.

[@michaeljnoble]

Extraordinary playing mate; can't wait for the album to come out..

[@DenisAhmet]

That bridge pick up and the set up makes the guitar, as for your playing I would not expect anything less from you. Put it in production and you could be made for life👍

[@ruby2thursday]

just discovered your channel....inspiring. Will be buying your DVD and recordings. just excellent stuff! thanks!

[@pangloss9]

To my ears, you're the best guitar player in the KZbin world and beyond. You have an amazing sense of style, drama and articulation.

[@singleplayer75]

Great feel and articulation, man, awesome playing!!!!

[@Meddled]

The pickup explanation really demonstrates why you shouldn't use DC resistance as a proxy for output. Wire and magnet type/geometry also have a profound effect on output.

[@catsven1973]

Wowwwww what an intro ! This guy play is full of emotions.. better than a lot of well established pro guitarists.

[@jordmosselman3403]

Hey Chris, thanks for the inspiration. Great tones can be had with "normal" gear, good example. Congrats on the article. So, drag out the tape echos and amps on play live at Stonehenge, just a hint because Pompeii is already taken. Grtz!

[@gregkoelling615]

I, too, have a Gilmour partscaster which was put together at a fraction of the cost of a custom shop guitar. Thanks, Chris, I only discovered you a year, or so ago, therefore, I'm constantly finding new to me posts from you. I've yet to find one I didn't enjoy. Play on!

[@nickpagoulatos9575]

Only slightly Floydlike...;) Great playing!

[@Chinaguitarsceptic]

Awesome chops brother

[@marksc1929]

Sounds great in Mr Bucks hands... congrats on ur article ...😉

[@jasong546]

So you like it, and it sounds awesome! Good for you man!

[@alexainsworth9102]

That tone is so good man! Please keep that tone!

[@briw4647]

I have a sx vintage series stratocaster, which ive done a gilmour mod to, sound really good i admit. Now that was a budget gilmour

[@jakem711]

That solo though.... 😱

[@mattgilbert7347]

My MIK black strat "Torch Vintage Series" cost $60 (including gig bag), and with $190 worth of upgrades in many ways I prefer it to my Fender Deluxe Players.

[@noremacbeez]

Giving a thumbs up seems a pathetic reflection of my true appreciation for this video... Your playing inspires me at the same level as Gilmour and Clapton have throughout my life Chris!!..... no one in my thirty years of playing has achieved that mantel....

[@docamosroxie8686]

My black strat is midnight wine MIM...recently had the Gilmour mod and put in medium output Kent Armstrongs and Mallory cap pots and man o man she is a beast...

[@GuitarHouseLima]

What string height do you use in your 9.5 & 7.25 strats?

[@AndersMcTee]

I’m looking at buying a guitar to punish my Ma. Would you recommend this one?

[@zigzagrz]

funny, I'm building a "black strat" out of a blemished flame sunburst strat body painted over in black, early 80s fender maple neck with the V profile, relic'd American parts (found dirt cheap) and the most expensive was the pickguard and correct pickups. total investment is about $320 USD

[@pappyodanial]

The Ludwig Van of our times - How does he not have 288k subs at least.

[@joshmuz9018]

Will Mac yeah man should have at lest 289 I think personally

[@josebarberena9564]

H-O-l-Y SHIT what an amazing solo. Simply great. Blown away

[@alexanderyarovoy8033]

Any chance that you will visit Russia? Superb playing and melody feel ! Absolutely fantastic! Cheers!!!!!

[@StevieZero]

Fitted a black scratchplate a set of tex mex's and fender locking tuners to my Mexican 04 standard...What a guitar it is...

[@Mephisto698]

Cannot wait for the album

[@Peepeestorm]

I made my left handed black strat into a gilmour looking strat by changing the pick guard. Saved myself millions

[@kylleven]

In a few years.. this black strat wil sell for 288 billion! Sick played Chris!!

[@DavoKC]

Hey! I have a custom Gilmour partscaster too! It just got up and walked out mumbling something about "you never play me like that".

[@anthonysclafani3963]

The Keeley Dark side is a must-have for Gilmour fans

[@SimpleManGuitars1973]

I have it. It's an insane pedal.

“Unfortunately for you...” 🤣

[@FGg503]

Great solo Chris!

[@lrdstrahd1]

I bought a MiM Strat and swapped the pick ups to a set of Duncan SSL5's and had a switch put in to get the 7 way pick up selection he has. Of course swapped out the tuners, nut, and bridge for better ones and modded the trem arm as well. The guitar sounds amazing now. I just need another 20 years of practice to get even close to what he sounds like...lol

[@tobix4374]

That ending was epic!
