Forget all your shredders, speed merchants and pentatonic bores, that is how a guitar should be played. Beautiful.
Say it louder for the crustbuckets in the back!!!
There's no one way guitars "should be played." There's nothing wrong with playing it those ways if that's what you want to do. If people only played one way then it'd get really boring really fast.
@@dildonius I agree totally, it was just a way of saying I love the way he plays.
Variety is the spice of life
There are much other ways to play guitar. Jazz guitarists don't play like that, they don't even bend. This kind of playing (with lots of tricks like bending and sliding) just appeal more to majority of guitarists whose taste skewed towards blues based music.
I prefer Tele's to Strats but when someone plays like that I couldn't care less what guitar it is.
Exactly, the sound is different but I can't say that it matters much. It sounds great in both cases
Telecasters are just too ugly for my taste. Strats are gorgeous.
@@alexhamilton4084 hardtail strats are the way to go.
took the words right out of my fingers
chris could play a spoon with dental floss tied to a fork and make it sound like hendrix
''Comparing apples and oranges is fruitless''. Great line from a great player.
I came back and Revisited this video because I finally figured out what I love about this guy's phrasing. He plays with an Indian vibe like Derek Trucks. Just incredible feel.
I can't imagine the amount amount of time and dedication you put into your craft. Beautiful guitar playing. I aspire to be to as skillful as you are.
agreed 100 percent Demian!
it ain't that hard...just get rid of netflix, get rid of the x-box, get rid of girlfriend or wife, get rid of TV, get rid of goin' out party......and pick a guitar and play play play play......
How are y’all seriously focused on the droning chord? DUDE YOUR TONE IS AMAZING. Phrasing is on par with the best of them. I can close my eyes and tell you that is Chris Buck playing, I can do the same with Mayer, Joey Landreth and Ian Thornley (for this generation). Love your playing, it’s inspiring.
Thank you Teddy! That's incredibly kind of you.
I really hope you make it big
@@longerlife5192 oof
Started out with a 1964 Tele when I was 18. It was the guitar to own in Toronto in the 60s as it was second only to Chicago in the blues era. Now at 74 I have migrated through virtually everything trying to find something that defines me. Five Strats and one custom shop Tele later I am where Chris is. The Tele is in it’s case now and I migrate between my various voiced Strats, a Yamaha Revstar 720B, a 94 Godin Artisan TC, and a Godin Summit Classic CT SD. It’s all in the mood and what speaks to you. It just took Chris about 40 years less to get there.
This is most likely the most beautiful noodling I've ever heard, just stunning and mesmerising.
Far and away my most favorite youtube performance ever.
i shut my eyes and through his music i find peace ... the strife of the soul is abated for a minute or two.. beautiful playing. kent.
A thousand people have said it but let me be the 1,001st...very beautiful playing, Chris. Forging a style that isn't EJ, Satch or SRV these days seems to be a rare thing and you, my friend, have done it. truly a style that is more Chris Buck than anyone else. Bends are very nice. Well done, sir.
My God, Chris......
You really make your listeners connect deeply with what it means to be human.
I'm a bit speechless, really....

You are an amazing guitarist, such soulful playing. Hope you get a million subscribers!
Firstly I apologise for not subbing sooner ... but that was breathtaking.. so much so I nearly forgot to breathe... wow.
I always was a strat man .. and you confirmed it playing .. then what you did with that Tele was almost otherworldly.. thank you Chris .. and must thank Norm and Michael Lemmo for bringing me here...
"A present from my -then girlfriend-now my wife"..... I'd marry a girl who buy's me guitars.All joking aside: just found your channel, brilliant playing and tone!!!
Your family is lucky! God bless!!!
Strats vs Teles - this will never have a definite answer, my personal thoughts are Stratocaster is a superior design while Telecaster is a superior guitar, the best player I have seen on a Telecaster was the great Ted Greene, in the current scenario there is Tim Lerch, while on Stratocaster Chris Buck is one of the best players I have come across, it's like he's tapped the soul of the stratocaster. I really like your tones Chris and keep them video's coming mate. Cheers !
Lot's of companies are making the hybrid tele. Tummy and forearm cut. I want one bad. I play my tele alot and my forearm gets marked up.
Great comment, agree with all of that and Yeah Tim Lerch also has a beautiful touch.
Interestingly neither Tim Lerch or Ted Greene left their Telecasters stock. Tim is very much into Telecaster versions of Charlie Christian pups and over wounds, and Ted had those Tele's with LOTS of switches and a humbucker in the neck. But, the Telecaster is more widely used - jazz, rock, blues, heavy stuff, and country. The Strat is more of a studio choice having more switch options - but that middle pup for me seems to get into your fingers. But I've always used a Strat more for giving lessons - so it's the more comfortable to play.
Tele is clean, clear, solid, correct.... But the Stratocaster is comfortable, fun, and expressive. One is backbone and the other is cake icing. You need to own both 😀
Couldn't have it better myself.
The Tele is dreamy.
I have always played strats and recently bought a tele and feels very stiff... is this generally the case?
@@juangabrielruizvillamil3846 yes
Dude, between my son and me, we have six strats and three teles. This video shows that you can make it completely irrelevant with the things attached to your wrists. The tone from your hands is amazing. My hat is off to you. I admire your tones and your sense of beautiful playing. Bravo.
If possible I would like this a thousand times over!!
I’ve owed a strat for nearly 20 years now and my life long lespaul custom from 1985 that I’m going to be buried with. 4 Days ago I just added a butterscotch blonde telecaster to my family tree of now 3 guitars. I wish I had done this sooner. I thought tele were only for country music NOT TRUE AT ALL. I am so happy with this guitar. I cruising through UA-cam to see other reactions to the comparisons between these 3 legends.
My god this is beautiful. Nearly brought tears to my eyes. You are like a young Jeff Beck, making the guitar cry.
Chriff Beuck
You really make them both sing. Absolutely stunning playing.
I really like your thumb muting technique to minimize string noise. This has been killing me recently and seeing this video really helped me understand this concept better!
I saw that, too. Never thought nor heard of that before.
To me it looks like the right hand muting technique slide guitar players use.
His playing reminds me a lot of Derek Trucks.
Ooh yh, well spotted.
I've been a strat guy for years until I decide to get a G&L tele semi hollow which i use for houses of worship. And man....I'm a tele guy now. It's so much easier to get good tones out of a tele. You gotta fight with a strat sometimes. Both they are both my babies
Sometimes shoehorning the "wrong" guitar into a situation leads to brilliant discovery!
I always come away from watching your videos with a renewed passion for the instrument. I always have a guitar in my hands when I watch you. Love it.
Man, this is like a masterclass in not just how you bend, but where you bend, when you bend and most importantly why you bend. So subtle. So...amazing.
"Like apples and oranges... fruitless" You crack me up sometimes. I could listen to you play what ever is in your hands.
To me, first of all, beautiful piece of music. The strat is angelic and haunting at the same time. Very dynamic. The tele has more of a midrange bark to it, but also a beautiful clarity. Both great.
I could listen to this kind of playing over a single chord drone for hours.
The greatest Welsh guitar player in years. Maybe ever. A big statement, I know.
I love Strats but I came to point where I realized I like them just for the neck pickup sound, the bridge and middle sound, and the vibrato bar. I got my first Telecaster a year and a half ago and found that with it, I can get close enough to the Strat neck sound, sort of close enough to the bridge and middle sound using both pickups, and an incredible rock solid stability from the hardtail. Add to that the midrange power of the bridge pickup that takes you almost into Les Paul territory, whereas I *never* had any use for the bridge pickup *by itself* on my Strats. The only thing I had to do with my Tele was raise the neck pickup a bit from factory specs, because I play mostly on the neck, and this made it more equal to the bridge volume.
Jesus……Breathtakingly beautiful, Chris.
this is the best comparison video of the Tele & Strat no question ! by a large margin . Your playing is amazing ! Personally love the twang of the tele but the way you played made it sound angelic and warm 🖤
Some different Tele and Strat sounds beautifully demonstrated. And yes, of course, I want both. Thank you for that inspiring music.
I think every player needs a Strat a Tele and a Les Paul in their arsenal. You make love to a Strat and you play the hell out of Teles and Lesters. Just my thoughts, I'm a single coil fan so I regularly play both, my Tele and my Strat. Great video and stellar tone!
Oh wow. I could listen to that for days.
After 50 videos, this is the one which actually helped me decide.
The judgement is in and the verdict is clear. Strat vs Tele? Yes!
I don’t know because I love the sound of strat but the sound of tele is beautiful too
Great video, and finally someone who doesn't say "the guitar doesn't matter" - get so sick of that. Nailed it with the idea that different guitars inspire in different ways and some just do nothing for a person despite how they sound. One problem I have is that so many people play similar things on a strat its hard to get an idea of how versatile, or not, it can be. Really enjoying your demos so far!
Love both, but I’m a tele guy. Howdy from Texas🌵
Excellent - man I love that Telecaster sound.
I'm loving the tele bro. Then again that Strat of yours is a monster.
When it comes to just looks, I grew up adoring the look of the 335. When it comes to the pure joy of watching someone play, it's Stevie Ray Vaughan on his signature strat.
Whatever guitar you play, you sound just amazing. What an articulation, man! Deep respect! :-)
It was like listening to Eva Cassidy singing. Magic.
Nice analogy
UNBELIEVABLY BEAUTIFUL, MAN!!!!!!
Chris, you gotta be up there amidst the greats like Eric Clapton, Jimmy page, David Gilmore, Mark Knopfler and notably, the great Jeff Becks.
That had so much emotion it changed my mood.
Fully agree pick the right guitar for the job. I like to think that when you right a song depending on the sound you are after the choice is straight forward.
Beautiful sound from two beautifully played guitars
As always amazing tone. Love that “piano” pedal. Ha! My first love is a Les Paul at the neck. Tone at 5 with a slight overdrive.
Man dude...super vocal and motive playing.
Well said, i own a strat, tele, jazzmaster, 335, SG, Les paul and a Grestch country Gentlemen. Classic guitars for all the classic tones i will ever need. The right tool for the right job. I love everything from the 50´s up until todays music.
Dang.... This is just beautiful. Tele or strat... Just amazing
Hey Chris, each guitar pulled slightly different emotions from your vast library of note choice. I enjoyed them both. Peace and love from across the pond.
doesnt matter what guitar you play, its how you play, and its damn fine!!!
With the pedal tone underneath, and the vocal style one string melody's/scales, you have some very eastern inspired sounds here. Very cool. The IV minor really gets you.
Big help, thanks. I agree with the guy under, you are amazing!!!!
I love them both. Pick one today and the other tomorrow. Either one can take you where you've wanted to go but never been. Just have to figure out which one for today. Tomorrow you'll have to decide again. Both are so versatile it boggles the mind. I do tend to lean towards the strat for it's tone. It has more of that bell like quality in it's tone/sound than does the tele. But I would not want one without the other. That's just the way it is for me. Fantastic playing young man. Truly a master.
Great playing! Some amazing "delayed" slide/vibrato technique...such an inspiration.
EDIT: I have telecaster only, so that's my favourite! ;)
I could practice my whole life and never sound 1/100,000,000 as good as you! It's inspiring and depressing at the same time, lol
I totally understand the feeling 😮
I'm convinced Chris Buck could make an old Mickey Mouse toy guitar sound incredible. BTW, you mentioned that your first guitar was a telecaster that your dad had bought you. You obviously showed your appreciation for his gift by actually taking the time to learn it. I bought my son a Les Paul for Christmas one year because that's the gift he said he wanted. He played around on it for about 2 weeks, then it just sat in the corner of his room collecting dust after that.
That's a shame, that guitar should be played. Maybe he'll return to it by himself at some point.
@@Olegstuff21986 You're right. He has.
Of the last 32 years of playing, I've pretty much used a Strat or a Super Strat, but I did a ten year stretch with nothing but a Telecaster, I've recently gone back to Strat's but now having spent so much time with a Tele, man I think I need both.
This tele is so badass, awesome guitar, awesome tone (Strat too eh)
I'm falling in love with "lived guitars", with the imperfection of time
Hi 🎸☺ it will always be a question, but both are wonderful in your hands.
Yes man.
Greetings from Germany and The Cute Urchins🎸🎸☺
Both guitars equally as amazing as the other. Sometimes the tele shines more and sometimes the strat. In my honest opinion. This one goes to the strat. To me nothing beats the strat when it come to expressions. And nothing has more perfect all around tone than the tele
Fucking amazing. Jesus, he was this good back in '18.
I like them both and I want them all.
Both amazing sounding, iv had and American strat but I absolutely love my player telecaster no matter what I'm playing.
First of all, I really like the progression you are playing in this video. It is beautiful. Like you, I have both a Tele and a strat. I have had the strat much longer as it was my first electric guitar. I think you are exactly right about the idea that they are each best suited for certain tasks. I will say that I believe in the right hands, the tele is more versatile. I probably play my strat more but I make an effort to play the tele so that I can squeeze all the different sounds out of it when I want to. Thanks for the video!
I know this is off-topic, but the kitchen background prompts me to wonder what's for dinner. Nice guitar playing. ✌️
There u go making perfect sense again, so glad i hav both .
Both are amazing, my very first was a squier bullet Stratocaster in off White. I still have it to This very Day and i love it. Its not about the brand Or model. Rather, what do YOU want?
always was a telecaster guy. but recently added a Les Paul and I love it too. but you are correct, right tool for right job. so next up is figuring out what strat I should add to the family!
I really enjoy the subtle dynamics of his playing. Great sound
When I was young I was lucky to buy a Les Paul copy fitted with T Tops Gibson pickups from a 70's Standard. I still have it & love it. I've used it for years & had to get the closest sound I could out of it at the time. Since then i have collected a few more guitars including a Tele & a Strat. I still believe if you really want a sound / tone you can get pretty close with any half decent guitar if you know what you're doin. It also helps to have & understand good amps & speakers. I was lucky I got an old 66 Goldentone anp to start with. I still have that too. Valve amps are awesome. I know so much now I can't say at the moment. And still learning after 30 years. Cheers Y/All.
Excellent video as usual......you not only showed how great the strat is, but how good a Tele can sound when the tone knob isn't dimed....
Ya know, I started off thinking "Teles are great, but Strats are amazing", and after hearing that bit of beauty you laid down with your Stratoblaster I thought "yep, that's the way that should sound". Then you played it on the Tele...oh man, that crystal shimmering spankiness, that godlike clarity...given the choice, I have to say Tele! Btw, my "main"axe is an Epiphone Riviera P93 and I have several humbucker loaded axes of various shapes and sizes, but I've been showing my beater of a $130 Affinity Tele a bunch of love lately! I really do need a good cheap Strat in my arsenal though...
And, your playing was absolutely sublime...new sub!
Celtic Fury Thank you very much man, that’s very kind of you ☺️
Celtic Fury (n
As a Les Paul guy, I have to say that nothing touches the clean raw tones of the Strat. That sounded amazing.
have you ever played a clean raw tone on a tele with a worn heavy gauge or even flatwound strings?????.....
The 4th position on a strat is pure magic. But also, I think there’s a lot to be said about how it’s also the player’s hands. I love a good tele but the way my hands attack, I do better with a Les Paul w P90s to get that gritty twang that others choose a tele for. The hands are a big part of the tone, I think content creators forget to mention that sometimes.
That pedal you are using for the sustained chord in the background is a really neat concept.
great tasty playing on top of the drone...free style floating around the room, same as in the music of India. Thanks for sharing.
Agree with you Chris...the guitar will inspire you to play something a slightly different way. If you heard the tele first...you would say it sounded better. Both sound great!
Love the relic Tele rock & roll 1 is Fender 1 is Gibson that is all that is ! Great playing brother roll that power on!
Beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
Such very beautiful guitar playing Chris, as always! Also nice steinhart timepiece you're wearing there 😉
Hey Chris, im a 100% with you, i cant choose just because i have to, or just on the sound off a guitar. Its the music your going to play, and how you want it to sound that makes me deside, tele or strat. Keep those vids coming and i hope to see you play live somewhere soon.
Beautiful! They’re both equally as beautiful. Like you said. Right tool for the job
Yes 2 of each, maple and rosewood necks for both.
I love a Strat but that Telecaster tone kicks ass Tele wins this for me
Best to have one of each then. Beautiful playing as always.
Sounds like the Strat is clearer with more sustain. The Tele seems more tone centric with an e-piano vibe.
It's really all towards what you're looking for. Cheers from a Les Paul guy.
You ever heard Jeff Buckley’s playing on Strange Fruit on the Live at Sine album? Your dynamics and pitch reminded me of that. Amazing stuff.
I’ve always been a Strat guy. I listed after an Alpine White Fender Strat when I was a kid and once I finally got I played the frets off of it several times. That said I have Les Pauls and Telecasters and they are both great for the fight job. I always come home to a Strat though.
Whew... came back to listen.....again! Hard to put into words how good this is. Strat vs Tele and Ford vs Chevy. hmmm the age old argument. Use the right tool for the job but even that is subjective. The beauty is there is no right or wrong IMHO. There are only differing opinions... Thanks Chris Buck!
Man your touch is so fantastic I've been watching your videos all day!!
Love your sound. Thanks for the channel.
Really great vid you’ve made here on the primary sonic differences between Strats & Teles. (You didn’t play much twangy Tele stuff but there are plenty of examples of that elsewhere). ‘What’s the right tool for the job?’ is a much more helpful question in a ‘versus’ conversation than trying to find a definitive ‘best’ or #1. The latter is much more clickbait-ey in a headline & is fine fodder for a pub debate between aficionados of such things but the former is more instructive.
