The First EVER Marshall and a ‘59 Les Paul! | Friday Fretworks

[@Dang...]

Beautiful, inspired playing here, as ALWAYS. Thank you. Little known trivia: There were 643 Les Pauls manufactured in 1959; only 1,369 currently exist today! 🤣

[@wilhelmtheconquerer6214]

The reason for this is luthiers like Kris Derrig, who bulit Slash's "Appetite For Destruction" Les Paul. It was built by a great Luthier, using parts from real 50's Gibsons, including pots, pickups, plastic parts, capacitors, etc. and also were built with the right materials (Honduran mahogany, Canadian Maple, Brazilian rosewood) and glue. These luthiers also took care to replicate even the tiniest details, Something Gibson reissues didn't bother with until the mid '00's (hideglue instead of tightbond, the exact era-correct shape of the headstock and logo, tortoise shell side dots, instead of black plastic, etc). It's no wonder even the experts have a hard time telling them apart

[@curtiseverett1671]

yes, but remember, according to Abraham Lincoln, you can't believe everything you read on the internet!

[@ElmoRitter]

@@wilhelmtheconquerer6214 I don't think a building made 20 years ago out of 10,000 year old granite means it's a 10,000 year old building. No matter how much copium anyone smokes

[@wilhelmtheconquerer6214]

@@ElmoRitter no, but if everything is exactly the same except for the adress and date on which it where built, isn't it basically the same then?

[@mattdaniels9510]

Jam from 4:25 embodies everything I love about the Les Paul & Marshall sound. Chris your playing is outstanding, and you have tone unique and unmistakeable.

[@troyjenkins578]

Absolutely! Melody and Tone that are so soulful and uplifting!

[@endeuinable]

Damn that solo at the beginning was astonishingly powerful! People say rock is dying or dead already, but with young people like Chris Buck beaming talent and love for the guitar, I think there's still hoping guitar will get back to the hot spot in popular music in our life times.

[@stringtheoryguitars4952]

The people have no say what is broadcast on the airwaves. You'd have to take control of those corporations and regulatory agencies first. Which is the same as taking control of banking, education, military manufacturing, and other institutions. You'll get nothing but Cardi B and Bruno Mars and you'll like it.

[@GhostXYHunter]

@@stringtheoryguitars4952 I don't like the music from Bruno Mars at all, but this guy is a serious talented musician. He writes all of his song by himself and can play many different kind of instruments. Even his songs are quite complex for modern pop music

[@stringtheoryguitars4952]

@@GhostXYHunter You didn't comprehend my statement

[@adamziolkowski2549]

Amen 👏👏👏

[@GuitarMan22]

Most ppl including the most popular youtube artists can't even come close to the tone Chris puts out here. Fingers, authentic original 59 and a vintage Marshall. Amazing

[@BudgetRC_Channel]

There's something truly sublime about Buck's unique, melodic, modern sound when playing through such a classic, vintage rig. Just amazing. After the intro I thought that was the best tone Buck ever had, but I should have waited. That outro was just fantastic.

[@iwishiknew10]

in the youtuberverse of players, there are a number of players that after the first 3 seconds you know who you are hearing blindfolded...

[@tuckermb6288]

It helps when the first 3secs include “Hey guys. I’m Chris Buck…”😊

[@sirvicemanone]

@@tuckermb6288 who is Chris Buck?

That middle Badgy solo was incredible, and so is the tone. Damn near the best sounding tone I've ever heard on KZbin.

[@Deliquescentinsight]

Yes, I heard 'Badge' in there, nice one man

[@charlespiper9291]

Nobody! Plays like Chris. Amazing touch and note choice! Thank you for being such an inspiration

[@tallpaul1020]

The Holy Grail 'A '59 Les Paul and a Marshall. Sounds incredible with your fantastic playing. A dream scenario for 99 percent of players out there. Thx for a great demo. As always, keep the great work 🎸

[@wizaxed]

Yep, that IS the sound of rock n roll. You are a lucky man, Chris! But also, you have the chops to do justice to that gear!!

[@okDylan]

Your phrasing is impeccable

[@Alex-rq4tq]

An iconic rig and an iconic tone but very much still a Chris Buck sound. Unmistakeable.

[@alexgattimusic]

Man, you’re incredible! Totally impressed. More video i see, more speechless i am. 🔥🔥🔥🤟🏽

[@stickman55100]

TONE, TONE, TONE! Love hearing you pull all there is out of this iconic pairing!

[@stickman55100]

@MrChrisBuck. and all I have to do is pay for the shipping cost?

[@robameem2243]

Bro your playing is what makes that gear sound so good.

[@swangonzalez4797]

This might be the best I've seen you play. You have this unique way of moving your body when you play....it is quite frankly..... very moving . It's good to see the Les Paul under the mastery of younger hands while playing more modern music.

[@Bo-Yan]

Chris, your playing, guitar tone and the guitar rig is killing!!! Greetings from Bulgaria, from one of your huge fans!!! Be healthy, happy and blessed, and all the people around you too! :-)

[@patrickloughran6246]

Ooft, that tone! That Les Paul into the Marshall sounds incredible in your hands. Thanks Chris, fantastic playing and feel as always..also congratulations on reaching 200,000 subs to your channel..well deserved too. Cheers mate! 🎸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@leeevans7814]

Now that is an amazing tone. That Paul is a thing of real beauty. Great playing as always

[@SlavicSon]

Wow! Incredible tone and playing. I love your pick and thumb attack. Lovely harmonics!

[@stevehughes1510]

Thanks Chris for the accurate Marshall info and your incredible playing as always. The colour of the '59 is just lovely, very rich and warm, great wood. The '45 would be a pretty rare beast too being a PA head, it does sound amazing and in such great nick. Cheers, Steve.

[@davemis40]

Never ceases to amaze me how many 59 Les Paul’s are floating around

[@toledo2983]

there is lottsa 59s, but only one chris buck...

[@michaelrash1478]

As the saying goes, "out of the 1500 or so made, there are only about 3000 left." Just kidding, that's an amazing guitar for sure.

[@samsantanamusic]

Joe Bo says there are tens of thousands so I guess that leaves at least 10 for the rest of us

[@cgavin1]

Or how obviously naff and fake so many of those are.

[@14lamnc1]

A lot of them are fakes, some really really well made fakes

[@Stephen_Lafferty]

An amazing story for both instrument and amplifier! I hope that both go to players who will use, love and respect their rare purchases - and share their delight with us!

[@tuffitout2568]

What a joy ride! Thank you...

[@SteveSingerFowkes]

Chris Amazing as ever I've shared your channel with my 12yr old son, whose jyst started guitar lessons

[@arottie4097]

WHAT? No neck bend? I feel cheated!? Haha! I love watching Mr Buck shred & shred he does. ;)

[@thepecker4815]

Yes neck bending is mandatory. Especially on 58 Les Paul's!!

[@RobertSaxy]

That second jam you did was to date my favorite playing of yours I’ve heard and I really enjoy your playing over all. Your playing reminds me of off high energy, tasty lick playing, high note specialist trumpet plays that can solo. There seems to be some notes and licks that can only come out by putting your body into it

[@Z7d3nR4]

I enjoy the history lessons almost as much as I enjoy the music.

[@wilkowilkins363]

Wow. Just wow. I'm a huge fan of the Buck .. but he just keeps on getting better and better 🤯🤯🤯

Where natural talent and passionate hard work intersect, thank you Chris

[@billkeaveney1526]

Thanks Chris, it's wonderful to find such a clean example with only the odd thing swapped. A guitar truly worthy of your talent.

[@adge74]

The fluidity of movement across the guitar is incredible to watch, and the tone that it brings out is unmistakably you. It sounded amazing through my headphones. I can't wait to watch this again, cranked up at home 🙌

[@magnusocksen]

Now I m sure of it. You re one of the best players EVER!!

[@marxug1]

Thanks for the gritty yet tasty history lesson, Chris. First I’d ever heard that there was a trade embargo between the US and UK in the rock n roll years! I especially liked the cabinet-mic-mix solo improv at the end. Really felt like I was in the room with you.

[@blonde335]

There was no trade embargo, just high taxes. An awful lot in this video is false, other than the playing.

[@DDE_ADDICT]

00:19 oh know, a burst, the first Marshall, and Chris Buck I feel deadly tone coming.

[@wheelsdetroit8608]

EPIC! Made more so in that the UA OX is in the signal chain. Those of us who own the OX can feel proud that it made the cut into gear nirvana. F______ outstanding!

[@stefanodamicis1263]

Hi Chris, incredibile playing and tone! I would love to hear you incorporate such tones with cardinal black. Love from Italy 🤟🏻

[@sundaynightdrunk]

When he switches to the neck pickup at the beginning of that epic ending jam (7:43), all I hear in my head is Jimmy Page on "Since I've Been Loving You." That tone is damn close, which makes a lot of sense, but it just jumped out at me. In fact, there's a ton of Page tone in that particular Les Paul, which isn't always the case with the old 'bursts, especially considering how modified Page's was.

[@neilgoldberg2132]

That was insanely tastefully played man, damn, mind blowing

[@metalheadcumotor1]

Jesus Christ, that sounds perfect!

[@mattbrillhart2922]

Oh to have been in the actual room listening!

[@NitroModelsAndComics]

Back in either 77 or 78 there was a band rehearsing across the street from my girlfriends house. We would sit on their porch and listen to them rehearse. I was 15 and it would be a year before I would get my first guitar. One day the bass player showed late and saw us sitting there. He said they knew we were listening ( I was thier paperboy). They invited us down and there were 2 NOT ONE, 2 Marshall SLs sitring there on top of 4X12 cabs. The guitarist had a V and a LP standard ( I think). They went through a set before kicking us but it was a set of Bad Co, Thin Lizzy, Robin Trower and some others ( I think Montrose Motor Scooter was in there too). Between that and VH 1 coming out I never looked back and in the 45 or so years since.... Well, you know how it is...

[@avivpinto4013]

Just amazing 😍. That burst is the ultimate tone machine paired with that marshall heaven.

[@valuedhumanoid6574]

Maybe some of my OG metal heads will remember this but there was a radio show that came on every Saturday night called Metalshop. It was broadcast across the country from 11:00pm to midnight. It was basically a "Headbanger's Ball" for radio. But the opening schtick was this over the top guy with a deep voice saying M-M-Metalshooop then a chainsaw and when it ended a British voice with heavy British accent came on and said "if you're not playing a Gibson into a Marshall...you're a WANKER!" Then the host would come on and talk about the latest news in the metal scene and have a guest come on. They would play new released tracks and that kind of stuff. But whenever I hear the Gibson and Marshall together I always think of that show.
