My Complete Touring Rig '22 | Friday Fretworks

[@rodgerrodger1839]

So happy for you and your mates. I'm here in California. I'm a old man now and ran with my buddies in the 80's in the San Francisco Bay music scene. They blew it with coke and egos. I wish you happiness, success and good health . You're an amazing musician. Most importantly a really stand up guy. Play on young man!

[@antoonhermans8953]

i am also an older guy by now and i had they same thing happening overhere in holland , i played in a great band but sadly the ego's and coke / booze / females took hold and destroyed the whole lot . i sometimes do miss these day's though , live has become a lot more boring : )

[@rodgerrodger1839]

@@antoonhermans8953 Hey my friend. Ya, my life is a tad slower these days and I miss certain parts of the 80's. Some of the shit I did I don't even tell my wife about. 83-89 was a cocaine alcoholic porn induced semi blur. I dumped my friends and the lifestyle on Nov 3rd 1989. I've been clean ever since. Met my normal wife in 94. We've been all over the USA and Europe. We even went to Liverpool to see the Beatles homes and everything in between. I was on my last legs in 89. I was toast. I had screwed up everything thinking blow would solve everything. Then friends started dying and I couldn't support myself anymore. So it was over. My guitars are now hanging on the spare bedroom walls. I gave away my Les Paul to a kid who could really play and was in the coast guard. He was from New Jersey. I will eventually give away the rest to some deserving kid or kids. The Strat will be the last to go, but you never know. Be safe and enjoy our later years. I just admire these guys so much. I hope the make it to the States. I'm sure The wife and I could swing a dinner for the group and some normalcy for the evening. Be safe and thanks for the pleasant response. A fellow older person.....

@@ipuya When I told my future wife I had been with more women in one weekend, half in one really messed up night than all her previous relationships including her first marriage she was a little shocked. She thought I was shitting her. She then informed me ( she's a nurse) to go get tested before anything physical happens between us. I did, I was fine. I was always worried considering how f***ed up we always were and how easy it was to just disregard our safety when your forever drunk or high and so hungover you can't remember how to pee. So you just puke and start drinking again.

@@rodgerrodger1839 Hello there Rodger , thanks for the nice reply too , and yep , those times where crazy and in the end it cost me my marriage , job , house ect , this peroid lasted from the late 80's until the beginning of the 90's , later on in life i too dumped all these so called " freinds / bandmates " ( from wich indeed many are dead now due to overdoses , car/ motorbike accidents , suicides or drugs / alcohol related illness ) and also went about my own way , i am not proud of myself and the things i have done in that period but yeah thats life i guess , i am a bedroom guitarplayer now and still enjoy playing a lot , funny thing is that history repeats itself and i see a lot of youngsters making the same stupid choices as we did back in those day's , i do think that chris buck is a smart fellow and won't fall into that trap , take care and enjoy you're normal life : ) i guess in the end we got lucky and survided those times , greetings from Holland , Antoon .

Mr. Buck is slowly becoming the modern day David Gilmour with his style. Some of the chops are invoking the same feelings as I listen. Keep up the great work brother, Godspeed to you.

[@nikolabakich9709]

true too bad the music industry has destroyed itself over the past 20 years is anything original ever going to come out or was it really a 20th century form of art.

[@andrewbecker3700]

@@nikolabakich9709 yeah, it's gotten to the point where if your not opening for Ozzy or some other established artist with pull, it's gonna be much harder to get over that perverbial hill. Thats why you see all these festival style events where at least 3 bands perform on the same stage each night. Very difficult for new artists to get alot of exposure without the KZbin. Mr. Buck has done ok for himself and should just keep plug'n away at it. The talent is there in spades.

[@greywolferhm]

I have been playing music, mostly guitar, for 58 years. Taught music for 20 years. It is beyond refreshing to see and hear Chris and his mates in Cardinal Black. They seem to really enjoy the pure pleasure of playing great music. Hard to describe it, but Chris Buck has IT.

[@oliviergagnon2592]

True

[@85isaboat53]

I've always loved how vocal your playing is sounds like someone singing

[@diego_cl]

the ending of the solo of tell me how it feels, for me those kind of bendings are like hearing Sam Brown blowing up the roof with Pink Floyd (the great gig in the sky)

[@sundaynightdrunk]

Chris Buck's tone on a Telecaster is the reason I bought one. Just compare how he cuts through the band at 3:05 compared to the other guitars.

[@mougabo]

good point

[@alexandretouron807]

absolutely. on the lead sounds we hear on the video, I'll go extreme and say that for the regular non guitarist foe, you can swap yamaha - 335 - lespaul with no distinguable change in the tone. only this neck pick up of tele has a really distinctive tone

[@joequintana5546]

Your tone is the same no matter what guitar you play. This is actually a compliment in disguise. Most guitar players spend a lifetime trying to find their own voice to sound unique and you've achieved it so young.

[@rstuartcpa]

It’s becoming my honest opinion that Chris Buck is the BEST guitarist currently recording and preforming today. Full stop…no qualifications.

[@g.graves8939]

Love how the singer sits back like a proud dad watching the band while Chris plays the LP type guitar!🤘🤘

[@GitShiddy]

Warms the cockles of my heart to have some $600 Squier sandwiched in there with a couple $6-7k guitars and it still giving all that Buck-y goodness.

[@claumeister1]

So great to hear a younger guy who plays with feeling and musicality. Rock and electric guitar will never die as long as it can move the heart of a human being. Beautiful stuff, Chris !

[@tszegvary]

Great players always sound like themselves, no matter what gear they play! Honestly, I didn't hear much difference in the guitar sounds but just heard you! It's like Billy Gibbons for example, no matter what he plays he always sounds like BFG 🙂

[@nigelwilliams3311]

Exactly what I was thinking! All the clips sounded like Chris Buck, but I wouldn't have had a clue which guitar he was playing if I couldn't see them.

[@richardkenna149]

Agreed, The tele on the neck pickup sounded quite different from the other snippets though

[@LennyJohnson5]

Brilliant; a great Friday Fretworks by Chris, who is both a lovely guy and such a talented musician. A wider comment from me too... Cardinal Black's entire band are not only obviously such a good bunch of musicians, but each and every one an exceptional and very likeable man... good luck in everything you do guys, because you deserve it.

[@jfrockon]

Dude, just recently turned on to you..... That outro jam, was one of the most expressive guitar pieces I have ever heard. Thank you

[@NinjaWarrior88]

Idk if it’s just the audio quality or if I just really liked the solo but that Telecaster sounds absolutely mental! Definitely the winner here IMO.

[@justinguitarcia]

Nothing cuts like a tele, it can sound “refreshing” in a mix especially in contrast to humbuckers. Mid set ill pick up my tele and that bite will be so satisfying especially if ive been playing the 335 all night

[@nacienlos70]

A bit harsh sounding to my liking. Like a brighter strat.

[@PaulLGuitar007]

You know it's a good show when the cans in front of the kick drum are dancing 0:45 and when singer grabs the bass players butt 1:54 and nobody misses a beat. That means things are tight!! You all are just great! Wishing you good health and happiness!

[@TbonePlummer]

Had the enormous pleasure of being at the gig. What a gig it was. Just an amazing bunch of musicians on the top of their game. Thanks for the great night and see you all again real soon, probably in a bigger venue!!!

[@lincolnjohnson6511]

My new favorite band, one of my new favorite guitar players! On the hunt for a Revstar! Please come to USA one day soon!! Can’t wait for new album either!!!

[@JohnQGuitar]

Dude is a future rock star. Unless you consider that he is already there....

[@mtacoustic1]

In awe of your minimalist, melodic solos! No showing off; just pure entertainment joy!

[@jauntyj3257]

Chris, you can make any guitar sing! The solo on that Les Paul is very close to perfection...The Revstar with P90-s sounds amazing.

[@JoeRothstein]

Damn, that solo with the LP was otherworldly

[@markh6384]

Yes. Yes it was!

[@kane6529]

Chris playing a shovel with strings, sounds a little bit like this “ proceeds to sound heavenly” 🔥 guy makes anything sound good

[@andrenascimento5851]

The best of luck with the tour and the new album Chris. I'm a big fan of yours, and IMHO you are the best British player of your generation. See you next Wednesday in Birmingham 😎🤘

[@TheMrMRsmoke]

I love that cardinal black getting the support their deserve especially for their album. I feel like selling some gears could get them there forsure but thank god for the fans and their support they can buy more gears to make even better album! Cant wait

[@larrys009]

What's really cool is that you're in a good band that supports your playing. Well done Gents !!!

[@50Something]

I found myself quite entertained by how the singer loves to guzzle back the pints during the guitar solos🍺

[@bwatt286]

Tied up in blue solo made me cry man, so beautiful

[@waagner]

Hi mr. Buck. What I have heard here is the best guitar handling you've ever made. Much more fantasy and inspiration and freedom. Beautiful solos!!

[@thirstyforvino]

Amazing, simply genuine and well crafted music!!! 😁👍 Like many in US can’t wait for you guys to start gigging over here! You got to come to Boston!!!😎🎸👍

[@tpuim]

I was at the gig last night. You guys put on a great show!

[@sgt.grinch3299]

Looking forward to the day I can see your band here in the states. Good luck and may God bless you and your band.

[@Deliquescentinsight]

Expressive and dynamic variation-a working guitar player in action

[@redjet4810]

Tone comes through the hands. Your use of the Squier Jazzmaster is extraordinary because your playing sounds the same as it does on your high end guitars. The aquisition of special guitars is fun and part of the hobby, but a professional only needs a well set -up instrument. Year, vintage, marque are just the icing on a cake that's already quite tasty.

[@ileutur6863]

2022 and boomers still don't know the difference between tone and technique

[@chedhead3278]

Mmm, glorious playing clips. Thanks Chris.

[@wilsonabel]

I was fortunate enough to be at the gig last night and can attest to just how awesome it was ! Thanks Chris :-)

[@stanesposito2664]

Wow Chris great rundown, fab band ! For me your Les Paul type was the pinnacle on this run through fantastic thanks you

[@karll3119]

Totally agree. The one that revealed the most of his singing playing style. From far.

[@denmar355]

You have such a distinct playing style and touch that your tone doesn’t vary so much with different guitars to my ears. I think with the Revstar and the LP shaped thing you’ve got 90% of all you need. Great playing! Thanks for sharing.

[@zman3871]

Holy Smokey wokey dokey bear!!! Your live tone is freaking KILLER!!!

[@Stratblooz]

My two favorite guitarists at the moment is you and Jared James Nichols :)

[@joshewingmusic5287]

I think what is most impressive is the fact that Chris can make ANY guitar sing, regardless of the quality or setup.

[@Rabant777]

The Parish show on Wednesday was fantastic ...... fast rising band.

[@mueslimuncher1950]

I was there last night in Glasgow. A five minute bus ride! Great gig as expected. My only complaint: the guitar wasn't loud enough and the drums a tad too loud! Keep it up!

[@riffcodger]

Buckmaster. Happy touring to you.

[@SergiOrtiz]

Gibson or epiphone would give you a signature in a heartbeat, you sounded great through that lp goldtop

[@andsoistopped]

We should all come up with things that the singer could do whilst you are soloing. For example read a novel, write a novel, check the weather on his phone. Any other ideas out there?

[@thomasmoore1003]

I believe he was checking his messages during the one solo😂

Chris, it’s very kind of you about offering us a bit of your gig experience while touring. Many of us are far away from the UK and I hope some day you may play in Australia or I can watch you guys over there. What a fantastic group of musicians you are that deserve lots of success. Cheers!

[@gomezthechimp1116]

That Yamaha sounds the best to me.

[@matthewmacdonald9851]

As always, you sound phenomenal. Thanks for the tour through your gear. A quick thought: Other than the Revstars, the Mike Stern models from 25 years ago, and of course the LP killers from the late 70s, Yamaha never seems to get the love they deserve from guitarists, in spite of them having built them longer than pretty much anybody else in Asia. Very pleased to see someone of your caliber playing one of their acoustics, which in my opinion, are hands down the best bang for your buck available anywhere.

[@jeremythornton433]

Great stuff! Thanks for this one, Chris. You guys sound great! Hope you make it to Toronto one day.

[@B2Rockin]

Dude your phrasing on that Lester is so inspiring. I hope to get to that level one day. Great sound and good luck with the rest of your tour! Cheers from VA

[@joemasse4568]

I remember when the Beatles and Clapton, were known for their guitars, that’s because they usually had one they played and maybe 1 backup. Those days are long gone but they always seemed to be fine playing whole shows with 1 guitar . By the way you are a great inspiring guitarist one of the best in my opinion!
