      Buck’s playing was soulful, tender, moving, and memorable. This music inside of him is beautiful. I would love a complete song. He touched my heart, your analysis touched my brain. Nice. Trailblazers who take risks are always different, special people. ❤️ 🌟

      What a sad day for Buck. He has to lower himself to be on the "British Guitarist Reacts To Disney Channel Chord Progression" guy. Must feel like a sad sack of shit, but he made his money.

    Buck, for me, is top ten all-time. His knack for melody and his monster songwriting ability are just paramount.

      I totally agree with you. Buck makes the most complex playing appear effortless. He and Mick Ronson are my favorite guitarists.

    My favorite guitarist of all time. Couldn't be more pleased your premier episode featured Buck. The Symbol Remains is an amazing new release by Blue Oyster Cult. I bought 2 copies of it. (The cd player in my car has a habit of eating cd's on hot days. I should upgrade the stereo in there one of these days)

    Buck set the bar high. Probably not what most people would have expected from him. I like the backing track, which will allow for, I predict, vastly different solos. Can't wait.

  • @larryb3946

    Wow. Wow. Wow!!!! Fil this was so good. Buck’s expression over the track was beautiful and then you did such a skillful dissection. You have absolutely changed the way that I listen to music Thank you for providing so much to so many. Thanks to Buck also.

  • @stan_doucet
    @stan_doucet 3 роки тому +16

    Love this format in that you can isolate the technique as its being played. When I hear a band play it isn't that easy to isolate a technique but Fil you sort that out here as always.

    Buck is just fabulous. His solo was a happy melancholy, like he was remembering something wonderful that would never happen again. It was a touching journey. Fil, your analysis was so good. You truly are a teacher with a wonderful gift. You listen to the music, you break it down, you show technique and chords, but, you leave us with a joy of the artist and their talent. You really are amazing. I think this series is going to be a big hit.

    Wow, I wonder where Buck has been hiding this beautiful piece. I'm always hoping he'll drop a new archive collection for us to hear and have and cherish.

    It might be a stretch but getting them to jam together again, even briefly, would be awesome. I don't subscribe to people on UA-cam, but I'm subscribing to this channel now. Cheers 🤌🏼

  • @heartstringssound-Doug
    @heartstringssound-Doug 3 роки тому +8

    Fil, This idea of yours, doing these different artists solos under the spotlight up close and personal and being able to review them is absolutely brilliant!! I loved the idea when you announced, but watching this first solo and watching you break down and review his solo is awesome! It's helpful to guitarist's wanting to learn and improve, and actually any musician can apply many of the dynamics changes and techniques discussed somehow on just about any instrument. This is just so great and I can't wait to watch the next...You Rock!

    @loilt5091 3 роки тому +2

    Buck has long been a guitar hero of mine, for over 45 years...a monsterously, underrated signature style, jazz influenced, (his father was a jazz musician), including a distinctive, singular command with his melodic approach and dynamic sensibility.
    ☆ It's very rare to see him play a single coil/strat, in a live setting...this no ho-hum-Bucker‼️

  • @margelacosse1331
    @margelacosse1331 3 роки тому +5

  • @lindaz1290
    @lindaz1290 3 роки тому +7

    There is a lot going on in this seemingly simple yet beautiful solo by Buck that could easily get missed without your analysis Fil. I especially liked your suggestion to listen again without watching to get the most out of the details in the solo. Congratulations on a very successful Episode 1!

    Thanks Buck and Fil! This first episode has not disappointed. Love the comment about not watching while listening. Closing your eyes changes the experience and the detail of music, and works while eating food too (like those dine-in-the-dark places). It also helps when playing. It's the reason so many visually impaired artists were so good at what they did and why the best close their eyes much of the time while playing. Can't wait for more! Cheers!

  • @bethcoddington2150

    Beautiful! Just wish it was longer. You have an ability to demonstrate and use such appropriate comparisons like "imagine your guitar is exhaling" or "creating relationship between the two runs...the sentence is being extended..." What a perfect way to describe what is happening. Thank you so much! If the first episode is any indication, this is going to be a HUGE Success!!! Can't wait to hear what the others do! Way to go, Fil!

    Great video Fil. This is going to be a fantastic series. Buck has always chosen particularly unique phrasings when he composes leads, which are always aurally pleasing. I caught BOC in Memphis back in 1976, along with ZZTop, Skynyrd, and the Outlaws. Good times.

Each time, picking up those unique nuances, notes and runs that Buck gives us. What a delicious gift of guitar mastery. It would be so wonderful to have the first season of your series on CD!!!(artist approval of course).

    @kealsta 3 роки тому +7

    Very insightful tying together his singing with his playing. Buck has said he plays guitar more like a be-bop trumpeter. This is much different for him and he is so restrained. Loved that strained pinch harmonic near the very end. Always gives a little sumthin'-sumthin'.

    • @loilt5091
      @loilt5091 3 роки тому

      Buck's father was a jazz musician...the connection was immediate for myself, starting on trumpet, in the early '70's...I love horns & jazz. He's so tasteful & melodic, a unique voice & signature style, which is what most players inspire to.

    Gorgeous tasteful playing by Buck. I was left wanting to hear the entire song even though it doesn't exist. I wasn't sure what to expect from Buck based purely on Blue Oyster Cult but clearly he is a very talented musician. His melody made the arrangement sound like it could have been from a movie soundtrack. The Blue Osyter Cult gig with Deep Purple in October is going to be a monster event. Hopefully Fil will be given a backstage pass and he can take some video with him and the bands. If only there was a way to do a livestream!

    Took a bit to find it, but well worth the search! Great solo, Buck! Very fluid, soulful, and evocative! Saw BOC with Pat Travers some years back, in Florida, great show! Fil, great analysis and breakdown of Buck's playing. I like how you illustrate each point you make by showing it on guitar and showing how it's done, clearly and with an explanation why to do it that one way sounds better and makes more sense than another way, to add interest and depth to the solo. Nice including about the player's information, axe and rig set up, and other info.
    I look forward to the next one and more to come. Be cool to have David Gilmour on. Rock!

  • @Nuker54

    I saw this on Patreon, yet "So nice, I had to watch twice!" Being the pro he is, Buck definitely sang through his guitar with much expression and an influx of techniques. Being a musician myself(though more piano/keyboards than keyboards), I was impressed that his musicianship told the story in only a minute. Fil, I thoroughly enjoyed your premier of "Under the Spotlight." I've said before that you've reminded me of what I've learned and taught me new things in your analysis videos. Your "Under the Spotlight" has done the same. Thanks Fil and Buck!
