How I Played THAT Solo on Paul Davids' Video | Friday Fretworks

[@PaulDavids]

Yes! The world deserves this video. It was absolutely my honor to have you on mate 🙏

[@ChrisBuckGuitar]

Aha! Thank you so much mate ☺️

[@jismy012]

I love that Paul makes guitar faces for other peoples guitar playing!

[@rikuiki3709]

Hey Paul, would it be great if you combine all 10 solos into single track, because watchers currently need to scroll through your 30 mins video to listen to actual solos?.. It would be supercool colab track :-)

[@jackguitarfreak3]

this is exactly what i was looking for!!

Hey Chris! Sounds so great! Great talking with you today!!

The great sensei is here. Would be great if you join next time Tomo.

[@nukhanlee1618]

WOW!! #MasterGeniusTomo is here too! 😀🙏🔥

[@dand5990]

Man, that solo was the reason I discovered you and your music; in an instant became one of my fav guitar players!

[@yeknommonkey]

Been subbed for a while, You’re in for a treat he plays such varied and original phrases every time you hear him. So clean and so perfect for the instrument or subject he’s showcasing. He really is the real deal. A rare original sound to all his playing that broke my fatigue of listening to advanced players which was leading me to thinking actually I don’t have an urge to play that well anymore as they all sound the same.

[@arcadicus_ezevius]

Same here

[@dirlogic]

Ditto!

[@tommarquet8271]

Chris should be so much bigger than he is. He’s honestly one of the best guitarists on KZbin

[@morelikezz]

I agree. He is underrated. Probably many guitarists like shredding and licks than melodic singing-solo type

[@sutt5828]

Its because he's welsh 🤣🤣

[@thecharlieramirez]

Chris and Matteo Mancuso are criminally underrated and two of the best guitarists I've ever seen.

[@LostPlectrum]

Time will do justice. Chris is an amazingly sublime guitarist. Matteo is just in another league from a technical point of view, both are great on their own.

[@bobbyjarvisjr9818]

@@LostPlectrum Matteo is stupid good. Chris obvs amazing too

[@valebliz]

Chris you are absolutely one of the tastiest players i have ever seen.

[@aymenbenhamida950]

Having such a legend deciphering a solo of his with such detail is an honour, a privilege and we're so lucky to have it. Old guitarists didn't have this. Thanks!

[@vivien1252]

It’s been months and this solo is still in my head, just like 1000’s of other people. I’m still impressed by the beauty of the melody every single time I listen to it. That was genius, we all witnessed it thanks to youtube.

[@MegaMartyno]

Yea indeed. Its amazing! I come back to this video a lot

[@marcusl3828]

It's no mean feat to stand head and shoulders above the rest on a track with so many amazing musicians. Amazing!

[@MrZarlton]

This was simply stunning! So melodic, more like a singer would sing over the track and full of feeling. Glad I discovered your talent through Paul’s video.

[@morelikezz]

He perspective to soloing is the best. Just like a singer; not many notes

[@kierankarlsson2524]

Check out his video about his Marshall JCM 800. Wicked playing

[@alexbooth4900]

Thanks so much for this Chris. That solo is sublime!

[@LostPlectrum]

I agree, so much that I posted my attempt to the solo, with tabs. Here it is! kzbin.info/www/bejne/qanCg5iEjtGtjJI

[@tweakerofknobs]

I can't get the melody out of my head ever since I heard it first time. Sign of a great solo imo

[@daleduke1315]

70 yrs. Old. Retired in Mexico. I am drawn to this style Chris Buck, and Paul. I heard something very much like this, but not the blue bends from my guitar teacher in 1964. He taught me to hold pick between index and middle finger. Paul and Chris, thanks for giving a 70 yr. old inspiration. I am a happier person due to your art. BTW. My guitar teacher was Johnny Keck, well known in Indiana, Chicago area. Master of banjo also.

[@musicpolyglot]

it's hard to be surprised when you know the players, when your solo came up, I was "who's this guy?"... then you played... HOLY SH*TTT, best one hands down, so musical, art. Well done mate.

[@LostPlectrum]

Yes exactly, I published my own cover with tabs in my humble channel few days ago, but when else better than the man himself could explain it?!?! Chris is an artist when it comes to draw melodic lines in his solos....

[@rossleighton3976]

I really hope this boosts your channel man, you've worked so hard for where you've got and it's about time that people realised that you're one of the best around right now! Paul certainly thinks so!

[@LostPlectrum]

It's boosting it actually, I think he is gaining few thousand sub every couple of days. He deserves it!

[@paulroyal2177]

I watched Paul's video, and enjoyed it immensely -- I am surprised by how much I deeply enjoyed that video... All of the contributors were extremely fantastic, but Chris' version was the only one that almost made me weep, and I watched it several times... The other contributors were eager to provide a version that was happy and would "gallop", but Chris supplied an interpretation that showed a fascinating "gravity". Chris can use the meat of his right thumb to mute the thrum of the deep notes that would "muddy" the other notes. This made the higher notes brighter. He still used "gorgeous" and "rich" E-notes, but they didn't "bury" the agreeable "clean" C and G# notes. He also re-enforced his strong left ring-finger with his other fingers, to produce excitingly fast and assertive bends. Bravo, Chris. You won the internet... Chris, your volume-control on your transitions is awe-inspiring. Brilliant. Utterly brilliant. My soul is rewarded by your mastery. Sincere thanks.

[@mattmorrise1531]

Your solo on this track has inspired me to be a better guitar player. What more can you ask for than to hear something that stays with you for several days. Thanks man.

[@sabbirtalukder3321]

Bro tell me about it. 3 days ago and i’m loopin this part in my car, at the gym, right before bed. I honestly want my brain to rid itself of everything bad in the world and replace it with this.

[@jasonr1150gs]

Me too

[@sandeepmortal]

@@sabbirtalukder3321 thats very well said

[@maxpower975]

Hi Chris yesterday I bought your Helix patch 2022 version I and have to say I delivers. It really sounds amazing. Cheers!

[@newbyguitarofficial1142]

I watch Chris bucks style and I’ve learned so much from him.

[@jimlaw8199]

Paul's reaction is almost as enjoyable as the solo itself.

[@pedrod.7576]

What a legend!

[@andrewbanner7165]

Really, really appreciate this. I can't imagine that many masters of their craft would take the time to reverse engineer a solo and explain their thought process. Thank you!

[@boryssiemienko1689]

Hey Chris! I loved the solo so much that after a 5 year non playing hiatus I bought a revstar, a helix and bunch of other stuff and I just want to be able to play a bit like you one day. Thanks for rekindling the love for the guitar. Cheers!

[@chrisshepherd2109]

I still come back here to listen to this Chris. Honestly gets better every time i hear it. Like when a good singer hits you right in the soul.

[@pastpianist]

This solo gives me chills Everytime I listen to it

[@rickmartin7674]

I commented on Paul's video way back when and promptly forgot about it and didn't even look you up. Pandemic, other stuff, whatever. I really should have. Happened across this randomly today, and it still holds up as well as it did then. It's what Jeff Beck *almost* was to me, but his playing just didn't have that *one* missing thing that I never could quite name. This solo just nails that. Liquid, beautiful tone, but with a more vivid sense of adventure while staying within the 'sweet spot'. Thanks for sharing this.

[@larrypower8659]

That first lick, with the bend/sliding thing, is something Duane Allman perfected. You can hear it in his solo from the Fillmore East version (live) of In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed. Great move, not heard often. Chris nails it.

[@mokrodrigues4515]

That solo is so smooth and kind of unusual, especially around 0:30. Brilliant job and thanks for the breakdown.

[@Karlgolden]

Beautiful solo bro 😍🙌

[@Foe1971]

Yay! Your solo was also my fave. This perpetual beginner really appreciates the breakdown.

[@TheMinorFallTheMajorLift]

This solo can still bring tears to my eyes. What a masterpiece.

[@TristanPinkham]

Perfection. I've listened to this solo quite a few times, and it still gives me chills.

[@TRose-hc9pv]

That video is at 1 million views 3 months later. Crazy. Very nice solo!

[@beigemusic348]

Paud Davids' reaction to this great creation are priceless ! we need to see more like this :)

[@luisgallardo8293]

I immediately started following you after Paul Davids' video, dude, you killed it, the emotion of your solo was amazing. Best regards from Mexico

[@jorgetenamusic]

Yeah!! That solo is amazing as everything I’ve heard from you. Thanks so much!

[@grene1955]

Someday I might watch one of your videos without learning 10 things...NOT! Chris, you are an amazing player and teacher. Your willingness to dissect and share your technique is really awesome!

[@Bridgelessalex]

Came from Paul’s video because of this amazing solo. Just subscribed

[@ewetoo]

I think its the apparent simplicity and repetition of the solo together with its beautiful swing that makes it so memorable, and rare.

[@jts04]

the principles of design apply to all art. contrast, balance, repetition, rhythm and unity. learn these and apply them to all art compositions. glad you mentioned the importance of repetition 🙌 amazing solo

[@PhillipAlcock]

Feels like a really emotional piece of music to me. So beautiful brings tears to my old eyes… Thanks Chris

[@paulburton5150]

Always tasteful and flawlessly executed. Lovely

[@Dodger2879]

I am always drawn to that folded first finger, cuddling the pick!...even though I heard the explanation for it! Great lesson, thank you Chris.

[@michelvanier8893]

Not only can you play it magnificently but you can teach it just as well. Awesome !

[@armchairecon]

Also discovered you through hearing that solo, absolute privilege to hear you talk about how you think through music.

[@hoopy63]

One of my fave KZbin guitarists. Can’t wait for covid to be under control and being able to see Chris play live!

[@dips2083]

What I like of Chris is not only the music, but the excellent, precise, efficient and at the same time rich way of speak and articulate his thoughts. In the original video with the solo, it is amazing how Chris describe his thinking. Just like his music: clean but rich. It is not easy to find someone like him.

[@siggeek503]

Thanks for the tutorial man, you’re one of the g.o.a.t.

[@gageeb66]

Chris your touch is so melodic that your playing style always grabs and pulls you in! You have a voice of your own! SO original!!!

[@chrisbriantubb]

It's the masterclass AND the Submariner for me. Killer video from an absolutely killer player. Cheers brother!

Hearing this feels the same as being high, just more pure. It’s incredibly inspiring to hear how much music can affect me. You’re my favorite Chris, please create more covers that I can listen to!

[@SevaralStrings]

Chris, you're wonderful person with great talent. It's such a great pleasure to listen to you and learn from you. Cheers!

[@shakurdang]

I saw Chris not so long ago in Brighton for a Fender promotion gig. I, like many others, didn't really appreciate how amazing of a guitarist he is and went up to him and asked him if "he was the guy from KZbin" and that he helped me buy an amp because of a review he did. Serious serious facepalm moment for me. If you are reading this Chris and if you remember that, I am such an idiot! you sir are jawdroppingly amazing guitarist. Keep it up!

[@About_Jack]

Your playing is incredible, you are an inspiration to revive my growth motivations, thanks to share these contents with us

[@jayt1362]

I have to watch all the players again because they were all great but it Chris' solo that makes me keep coming back to have a listen to his solo. I always thought note choice is the most important part of music not shredding. Chris your note choice is perfect. Thanks for the transcription and explanation of your thinking. Just beautiful....

[@kevinbridger2989]

Absolute pleasure watching how you build another blinder of a solo Chris... I totally agree about repetition... there'd be no blues without it 😎✌️❤️✊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@Seaker24]

Chris, you have a unique feel. No matter what you play or tone used or guitar there is that thick pleasurable attack and vibrato. When you finger pick there is a nice pick attack and a complimentary trebly finger tone. Bravo on being you!

[@damonjohnson8337]

Not only did I become interested in this Chris Buck fella and his wonderful playing, I also was very interested in the Yamaha Revstar. I honestly had never heard of Chris or the Revstar. Better late than never for me. Chris, your playing is beautiful. The way you bend and literally pull the bent note back home is really beautiful, both visually and sonically. Lastly, I've been really wanting a P90 guitar. I MUST play a Revstar soon. What a bitchin looking piece. Thanks for this breakdown Chris Buck.
