      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.

      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 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.

    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.

  • @SomeTimeGuitarist
    @SomeTimeGuitarist 6 років тому +65

    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 !

      @ChristopherDowning 3 роки тому

      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.

    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.

    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!

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.

    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.

  • @celticfury7328

    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!

    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'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.

    Oh, and as I have said in the past, others have said, and I am sure I will say again, your phasing is amazing. Please, please, put out some instrumental stuff.

    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.

    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.

    This is to beautiful how it sounds. Could you tell me how the fx pedal is called? I'm hard of hearing and some words can't be really heard :/

    I know this is off-topic, but the kitchen background prompts me to wonder what's for dinner. Nice guitar playing. ✌️

    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!

    Well, the strat is a better shape, more comfortable.
    The question is which pickups you like - you can put anything in any guitar. The tele neck pickup has more resistance, more mellow, a little less distinct, but able to take more distortion without being fizzy.
    It achieves this with thinner wire rather than more windings, which is why it doesn't sound like an overwound strat pickup or even a P90.
    I prefer the gold foil - which is a large strat sized version with 43 gauge wire and lots of steel - which supposedly mellows the tone a bit as well.

    What strikes me is your use of the middle pickup on the Strat. The Tele doesn't have that option. The third pickup is what gave the Strat a combination of tones beyond the Tele, and a sound of its own.

    I still have the Strat I bought new in ‘79 and it’s been my main squeeze all those years. I’ve recently hankered after a Tele, and the tone demonstrated here does nothing more than feed that thought. One thing is for sure, I could listen to you play either all day, but there is something magical about the Strat tone you get. Addictive it is, hmm.

    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.
