      Been subbed for a while, You’re in for a treat he plays such varied and original phrases every time you hear him. So clean and so perfect for the instrument or subject he’s showcasing. He really is the real deal. A rare original sound to all his playing that broke my fatigue of listening to advanced players which was leading me to thinking actually I don’t have an urge to play that well anymore as they all sound the same.

    70 yrs. Old. Retired in Mexico. I am drawn to this style Chris Buck, and Paul. I heard something very much like this, but not the blue bends from my guitar teacher in 1964. He taught me to hold pick between index and middle finger. Paul and Chris, thanks for giving a 70 yr. old inspiration. I am a happier person due to your art. BTW. My guitar teacher was Johnny Keck, well known in Indiana, Chicago area. Master of banjo also.

  • @larrypower8659
    @larrypower8659 3 роки тому +5

    That first lick, with the bend/sliding thing, is something Duane Allman perfected. You can hear it in his solo from the
    Fillmore East version (live) of In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed. Great move, not heard often. Chris nails it.

  • @paulroyal2177
    @paulroyal2177 3 роки тому +6

    I watched Paul's video, and enjoyed it immensely -- I am surprised by how much I deeply enjoyed that video... All of the contributors were extremely fantastic, but Chris' version was the only one that almost made me weep, and I watched it several times... The other contributors were eager to provide a version that was happy and would "gallop", but Chris supplied an interpretation that showed a fascinating "gravity". Chris can use the meat of his right thumb to mute the thrum of the deep notes that would "muddy" the other notes. This made the higher notes brighter. He still used "gorgeous" and "rich" E-notes, but they didn't "bury" the agreeable "clean" C and G# notes. He also re-enforced his strong left ring-finger with his other fingers, to produce excitingly fast and assertive bends. Bravo, Chris. You won the internet... Chris, your volume-control on your transitions is awe-inspiring. Brilliant. Utterly brilliant. My soul is rewarded by your mastery. Sincere thanks.
