      My personal opinion is that he is a very close match with Jeff Beck. If he can squeeze tears out of both of my eyes together, he passes the test. You must have your own style however and BOTH Chris Buck and Jeff Beck are pretty hard to beat with this type of playing style.

    Your playing inspires me - I was never the best shredder, try though I certainly did. But even my teacher told another student who was also my friend he was jealous of my "feel" and expression, which I don't know that you can teach someone, you just learn by instinct. But you, you take that school of thought, that way of playing and turn it up to 11 and I absolutely love it. Your style is instantly recognisable, wildly expressive and far more memorable than most anyone I can think of. Here's to blazing your own trail!

    Thank you Chris. My Dad's absolute favorite bluesman was Johnny Winter, I grew up sitting in front of the stereo with his vinyls cranked with stupid grins on both of our faces. I lost him going on 16 years ago, and while I have those vinyls that we used to sit and listen to it's rare that I can sit down and listen to them because those tones bring back so much pain of his loss. I know he was right here with me watching you rip through that intro, wish he was actually still here to enjoy your music because I know he would love it.

    Johnny, as well as Edgar Winter were rad man!!!!
    I get a firebird in my shop once in a while, actually more of the bases than the guitars. They hold up pretty well, but frets wear, and a well loved instrument is usually a worn one, so I normally get them in for fret wear, setups, and dent and ding removal. John Entwistle was a big influence on so many!
    There is an early black 6 string original I converted to a Kahler tremolo, Locking nut, and Stainless Steel frets decades ago, I can only imagine it's still floating out there somewhere teasing ears and blowing minds.😁

    Great video as always Chris. John Otway and Wild Willy Barrett are indelibly imprinted in my brain! Blackpool Tiffany's Mecca Ballroom 26.10.1978. John's shirt was ripped to pieces by the end of the gig. He took a wire coathanger, bent it around his shoulders and cradled his SHURE SM58 in the hook of the hanger, a bit like a harmonica holder. How he didn't take out his front teeth I will never know. Totally bonkers and wonderful night. I was right at the front. It was a Sixth Form dance event. Most of my friends just didnt know what to make of it all. For me it was total brilliance. Alex Harvey was another live artist that just had you enthralled back then. Fun times!

  • @johnkelley7543

    Chris - this is an excellent video. You absolutely nailed the details on this. I have owned 12+ Firebirds over the years. I currently have two '63s (VII and V, the latter formerly owned by The Hives) and two '64s (a I and a III). They're all wildly different in character. I've played them all live... though probably never again for the VII - it's too valuable (and clean). It's also arguably the best sounding of the brood.
    I also have a '71 Deluxe that I've owned for 15+ years, and a '54 LP Custom I acquired late last year. (Again, gigged with those a lot and love them, but the '71 is my baby). It was a delight to hear you compare the LPD, LP GT, and the FB III. The ceramic on the LPD is so obvious to my ears - the extra squish in the notes. The AlNiCo on the FB sounds bright and punches. And, well, the PAFs on the GT - what can be said that hasn't already been said?
    You rock. Subbed.

Granted, I'm a lefty, and I didn't have a lot of options to choose from, but it was something about how far forward the bridge was that just didn't work for me. Funny how we love the look of a guitar but if it doesn't feel right, it just doesn't matter. I would LOVE a Firebird or an Explorer, but I just won't ever find a lefty one, so they'll just live in my head I guess

    A Firebird V was my stage guitar in the 90s. They make you play on the edge. The cutting tone, the neck position, and the visual statement don’t allow for a timid approach. In the end I moved on and made the hard decision to sell it because I wanted my playing to change and develop in different directions. I should regret parting with it as it was a great guitar to play and would be worth a lot more now than any other guitar I own, or have owned, but I was right in my instinct. Left a lot of good memories though.

    I love the Firebird, but i think the non reverse takes the cake for me. A non reverse Firebird III is up there as one of my faves, next to the ES-330/335 and the Jazzmaster and Jaguar.
    Plus, those pickups sound incredible. Just so sweet.

    The Firebird definitely fits your style. There’s so much to love about the guitar. I owned a Firebird III, which was great. Loved the mini humbuckers, the neck, the headstock and tuners, the sustain, but the offset of the body just wasn’t comfortable.

    Ever since seeing Phil X play an Ember Red Firebird iii for fretted Americana, I always wanted one and thought they were rad. I've gone through eight (Gibson and Epiphone), and still have 2. They really are a love hate relationship. The thing is so rad and unique and I freaking love it, but they play so differently, and I just can't put down my Schecter S style guitars, So the birds rarely get love.
    Absolutely kick ass playing and sounds 🤘

    Interesting choice using what sounds like an octave pedal on that opening solo. Firebird sounds tremendous and those Firebird pickups are a great alternative to P-90s
    *just found out like someone below that those are indeed Firebird pick-ups and not mini humbuckers

    Thought we'd knocked the jumpers on the head Buckmaster. Sartorial negligence. Nice playing.😂

    I have a firebird inspired revolts Mondata. I noticed the pickups were microphonic and didn't realize that is a feature of many firebird pickups

    I have an Epiphone FB, the 'inspired by Gibson' thing. Reverse headstock. The pick-ups are phenomenal, I love that guitar 😍
