Hey Chris. I think your setup pretty much nails Clapton's 'Beano' tone. That vintage Les Paul sounds sick and your playing sends me back to the woodshed 😃
That's why in my opinion, he's one of the best guitarists out there right now. There's all these guys online "shredding" and playing super fast and honestly, (although I can't do it) it doesn't impress me one bit.
The one-minute performance at the beginning of this video is honestly some of the most brilliant lead playing I’ve ever heard. I’ve listened to those 60 seconds several dozen times. Truly stunning, Mr. Buck.
I think you've pretty much nailed it Chris. I always loved 'Bernard Jenkins' with just John Mayall on piano and Eric in a room with a single mic. It was on a sampler album called 'Raw Blues' - sounds like chamber music through a Marshall!
Beautiful playing always, how about amp volume on 10 and guitar volume usually between 6-7.5 most of the time 7.5 -10 for wailing solos and from 0-6 all your rhythm work and cleans 👌
🤯 this is SOOOOO true!lol Plane J is right also!! I keep trying to pick licks and phrases up from Chris, but it just sounds like a drunk guy on acid trying to play a guitar that has what looks like in an acid trip, a rubber neck.lol
This was a great rock n’ roll lesson, very interesting as it is the foundation of a combination used by so many artists. Clapton may have started it but Chris is the new generation that delights us with incredible playing and beautiful sounds.
Just wanted to say how I’m always v impressed with your demos videos. Really professionally done and really informative. Great playing too of course! 👍. Great job.
As someone with a masters in history and a publisher of history textbooks I love these rock n roll history lessons. Well researched, well presented and killer playing to boot!
Chris that was a wonderful tutorial. As someone who came of age in that era, there just wasn’t anything else like that combination. Cream, Mountain, Purple, Zeppelin, The Who, would love to hear your observations, of these groups through the next few years. Great ear, and attack. Regards
Lovely. Even in the cheap seats, the LP/Marshall combination is tough to beat. I have a Les Paul Tribute and a DSL1 combo. The pair does a very good job of putting a smile on my face.
Wow!! The Beano tone defined!! I read somewhere years ago that Clapton's amp was so loud that the engineers didn't want to do the work and kept turning his amp down. At that point John Mayall produced a handgun and said if they touched his amp again he was going to pull the trigger! Does anybody know if that's a true story?
Thx a lot Chris! So many information here bout my favorite sound of a Les Paul with a Marshall Amplifier 🙏🎸🎸🎸 Always enjoying your "guitar singing mode" 🔥🔥🔥 it's so you! Maybe someday you will make a video for your "tone-setting" ~ tone and volume knobs combination, in a LP and a Strat 🙏
Yep I do not care what folks may say, precisely played hard rock guitar through a full up Marshall amp, began with Clapton and Cream . Even with the rise of Hendrix, Eric stood alone. More well organized, precisely played soloing seems to squash all things Hendrix, to me. Its like eating a gourmet dinner. Eric did it first, and did it best. No wonder he was Edward Van's #1 influence.
That amp! 18? .......... Man what a beautiful, quilted finish. Love your research and story telling. And great playing too! The Beano album was a guitar milestone in rock history - Clapton was very determined to have his way LOL. Enjoy your channel Chris B! Always tasty playing with a great grooves.
There are so many factors to nailing that Beano record tone that it would be pretty close to impossible to do without them all. Clapton's predilection for playing loud would have been a huge factor in this equation. That Marshall cranked most of the way up would have pushed those KT66 power tubes into major saturation and those speakers cones would have been on the brink as well. 1960's strings were also quite different than most modern day strings and that too would have contributed to the overall tone. So, nailing that elusive tone will probably remain elusive. In years to come people will be doing the forensics on the Chris Buck sound trying to recreate that, no doubt. When in reality we already know that most of that lives in the hands and the soul of a great artist. Play on Chris, you are inspiring us all with your incredible fret work.
@@blonde335 Thanks! As I wrote that I was questioning in my mind what the power tubes actually were. But you still get the point, it's all about the power tubes getting seriously pushed at high volumes. Are they 6L6'S?
Cruising the Backroads (past episodes) and I ran across a jewel. "Buck & Evans I got Dreams". Awesome cover. Loved the interplay between you and the bass player. Definitely a RockN2 Remember LOL. Thanks Chris. For the rest of you folks, if you haven't you should!
WTF!!! Clapton told me that you are 99% correct!!! Oh, he is jealous of your playing, too!!!
2 роки тому+6
Does anyone know where can i find a tutorial/lesson on those sweet bends (or something similar) he does at 0:22? I would appreciate it a lot! Great playing, Chris, you are an inspiration!
Badge from the 05 reunion show! I learned that solo note for note and it is still one of my all time favorite solos, they just rocked the song at those 3 nights!!
Who are you?? Just stumbled on your UA-cam channel and your playing is beyond 1st rate and the info you presented was truly interesting. Needless to say you have a new subscriber.
When you kicked on the TB and before you knocked back the volume; that was a killer tone IMHO. When you have a great sound the riffs and ideas just seem to flow and you can just get lost. Then again you could rock a POD and a Squire and you’d kill it. You have an amazing touch and as always , great note choice and tone.
I acquired a Dallas Rangemaster in 1965 along with my first guitar, a Hofner Galaxie. The guy selling had used it just to, well, boost the treble on his amp. To think, I threw the Rangemaster away in the early 80s as I wasn't using it... 😭😭
Great vid, many thanks! You come across so well in all of these videos and for my money, you're by far the best player out of all the guys who make UA-cam vids of this type. Interestingly the Rangemaster tone sounded closest to the Beano sound to me, but I'm listening to a compressed UA-cam video on tiny laptop speakers so I'll take your word for it! You're right that it's much of a muchness given all the elements at play - so many great sounds from that beautiful guitar and amp in this short vid alone.
Great playing as usual, Chris. I think you've pretty much nailed that sound. There's a lot of early Freddy King in there, too. In the '50s Freddy used a Les Paul into a Bassman, and got some pretty serious overdrive with that combination. I don't think Clapton's choice of Les Paul and Marshall is any coincidence, considering the amount of Freddy on that album.
I dare to cite a guy, who wrote 2009 in a forum named "The Gear Page", that he knew the producer Mike Vernon in the early 70ies: "Well it wasn't at the Beano session but I was in the studio with Mike about 1971 (same room as Beano was recorded in though, at Decca's Broadhurst Gardens). He set up a Marshall SLP to record flat out but with just one 100 watt 4x12 - so the speakers were being pushed. The cabinet was set in the corner of the room but tilted in order that it faced the diagonal corner (at the ceiling juncture). He then set up a mic on a long boom pointing into the corner about six inches from the apex (so it is right into the corner). About six foot away (maybe less, I'm not so sure on this) from the speaker cab was another mic aimed at it. Either side of the cab were those moveable baffles about 8 foot high where the lower half is absorbant but the top half is glass - I think you can see these in the Beano session pics. Now in the room itself the sound was very loud! Through the monitors in the control room - it was like a typical "Fresh Cream" lead sound, i.e. extremely beautiful like the "Spoonful" solo off that record. Personally I think the "corner loading" of the main mic was critical (and I don't remember the mic, sorry). I just wanted to add that they would spend more time on mic placement than just about everything else! I'm trying to retain my memory of these things! Best, Pete."
Thanks Chris, controversial perhaps but i never got the fuss about the Beano tone, i love the Les Paul into a Marshall it's one of the greatest tones but to my ears at least there are other early examples as to why it caught on. Maybe you are better than Eric
In 1966, a jazz fan classmate at university called me into his room to hear the sax intro to "Have You Heard About My Baby." It was impressive. Then the guitar solo happened and changed my life forever.
holy sh!t...did you write that intro/soliloquy (...whether tomorrow or god only knows...) ? damn, you're writing is as brilliant as your guitar licks!!!!
Finally, someone has followed the photo evidence of Clapton playing out of the middle position in the Bluesbreaker sessions and elsewhere, then figured the rest out! Well done Chris!! I found Bridge vol at 10, Neck vol around 5 to add "body" to the tone (to taste). Tone on the Bridge around 5 to put that "bark" and just enough edge detail into the tone, Neck Tone on 10. Boom, there you go.
Great video - I tell the story of Steppin' Out to anyone who'll listen! No "burst into a Marshall" discussion is complete without mentioning Billy Gibbons and Duane Allman though!
Unfortunately, a compressed youtube file is not even close to "real world" accurate. Without the volume, the KT66s or the critical tone-shaping "Bluesbreaker" grill cloth, you will never get the authentic breakup, upper-midrange aggression or singing feedback characteristics that define "Bluesbreaker" tone. Seek out a proper vintage-spec 1962 amp and you will get so much closer.
Clapton or not, the Les Paul/Marshall combo was inevitable. Someone very soon after would have done it in another studio somewhere in England and history would have been slightly altered, yet the same. Great phrasing once again Chris!! Cheers...
"Clapton or not" I don't think that's a statement that you can make with certainty. Clapton came along at just the right time and created a sound with his specific style of playing that redefined rock music forever. If rock had marched onward for several more years without Clapton's Marshall/Gibson combo, and had continued to evolve without that influence, it's not certain that other players would have responded the same to hearing it as they did when Clapton did it. Everybody wanted that sound at that time specifically because of the Beano album. Like it or not, Clapton is the one who changed the game, and he deserves the credit for doing so.
Brilliant rendition of Badge. That song was my favorite for years, since I first heard it at the age of 11. Took to the drums like a duck to water because of Cream.
I have been playing for 42 years now and critiquing and dissecting other guitarists for just as long.. This man is one of the greatest guitar players I have ever heard,..Maybe THE best. I don't just only mean skillful on the instrument. I do mean that paired with his ability to make memorable sounding leads..His playing has a spiritual quality to it that is like no other really.
Can we just take a moment of silence for that poor Les Paul he just man handled like a small farm animal?? Jeez. Incredible tone Chris. That's that "Beano" tone spot on.
Amazing as always! I was stoked to see a Hello Sailor Effects Rangemaster clone. HSE makes the coolest custom pedals IMO, and I've been jonesing for one of those Rangemasters a long while. Keep up the great content!
Well blues and rock ain't gonna die if these young lads keep it alive which they are doing a fine job at. I could live with that tone for the rest of my life, can't beat an old marshall sound through an old les paul.
Awesome playing wow! British people always give Eric Clapton Way too much credit. He stole all those riffs and licks from Freddy King, who is from Texas by the way. “Let's Hide Away and Dance Away with Freddy King”. Gibson Les Paul and Fender Super.
Strange given technological advencements that 18th century Cremona violins (Stradivari, Amati, Guaneri) are still irreplaceable and worth millions. Similarly, 'old' technology (hand wound pick ups and valve amps) may have the same status. I suspect that in 300 years hence '59 Les Pauls will be locked in bank vaults.
Strange, different ears etc to me I hear a closer tone with the range master on as soon as you engaged it that fluty tone was Beano to my ears. Clapton always used middle postie most of us ignore he is the same on Strat using middle pickup often in clips I've watched. Great video. Ps. Did you manage to just put the guitar in the case and nonchalantly walk off with it? 😉
Congratulations Chris Buck / Cardinal Black on the #5 Top Solo of 2021! Chris Buck,...the fiddle master who's right hand technique stands far and above most guitarists left hand technique!
Hey Chris. I think your setup pretty much nails Clapton's 'Beano' tone. That vintage Les Paul sounds sick and your playing sends me back to the woodshed 😃

Agreed, it doesn't really matter what rig he plays, he just makes it sound like him!
I might say 'style' rather than 'tone' if you have no objections ...
@@Jester-Riddle True, or maybe style and tone👍
I love his style. Amazing.
That description of 1966 was the best bit of monolog I've ever heard on this channel!

The tone and sustain Chris Buck gets is just ridiculous. I've got a Gibson Les Paul Classic and the notes don't ring out anywhere near as long.

I think the Marshall combo encouraged Fender to make the Super Reverb The king of Fender amps.
