You must have raised your son right - It's pretty plain to see that he passed it on to our hero here. I am so very sorry for your loss. Strength, peace , love and blessings from a stranger may have little meaning, but they're offered in respect and kindness.
I had one of the toughest shows I’ve ever played yesterday. But your video cheered me up a bit, Chris. Musicians are humans, not robots. Things CAN go wrong during a gig. Thank you for sharing these tough moments on stage. Puts things in perspective for me.🙏
Keep doing what you do. So original and heartfelt. Like many, I miss Jeff Beck and for me at least, you come closest to providing the same level of inspiration.
Thanks mate for showing your human side, and I think that’s exactly what true music means! Being human, making these bloody mistakes that your case don’t really sound that bad 😂❤
Hey Chris, one of the best Friday fret works yet! Love the questions and honest answers esp at the end. Also loved west Wales :) been going there most years for 45 years since I was about 5yo! Beautiful part of the world :)
Much respect for playing the clips of you getting it wrong live. That really is keeping it real and honest. Things go wrong when music is played live. The fact that its always on a knife edge is what makes it exciting.
My best friend and fellow musician is my keyboard player and i agree with you - wish I had started on the piano. He regularly finds the right notes, melodies, chords and vocal harmonies for the band.
Bless you, mate. Its on my bucket list to come to a Cardinal Black show at some point. You are the person that's inspired me the most to getting back to playing guitar. You are a credit to your family and the guitar world.
G’day Chris, I love you candour showing us the occasional train wreck when playing live. Also, completely agree that learning piano would have given me a much better start when I finally got around to learning guitar as an 18yo, and now 48 years later back having lessons and learning basic theory. All power to you and the band. Keep making beautiful noise!
I've been in Abersoch for a couple of weeks and the weather has indeed been absolutely atrocious. Love Wales though...wish I could move out there permanently.
thanks so much for the amazing views that i may never get the chance to see in person before i leave this world! beautiful! also thanks for transparently answering the questions the way that you did! it was meaningful, inspiriational, and impactful! take care my friend and hopin' the best for you always!
Thanks for taking us along on your trip while chatting with us! I lost my dad when I was 9 and he was just 41. He had been sick since he was 36. I was very fortunate to have an amazing dad. My mom passed at 65. It’s nice to live to an old age, but age doesn’t make death any easier when you had a great relationship and family who really is interested in you, takes care of you, and does all kinds of fun stuff together (even with little money). People always felt sorrier because I was a kid who lost a very young parent, but I never understood why they’d feel sorry when there were kids out there who’s parents skipped town, didn’t pay them any mind, or were horrible to them. I felt fortunate to have had a dad like mine even if it was only for 9 years of my life. I would have liked to know him while I was an adult. And that also makes things harder in a way, such as in my mom’s case where I was in my late 30’s when she passed (I’m nearly 43 now) because then you really get to know what you’re missing. Find peace and joy in your music and your family. It helps to lean on the things you enjoy during tough times.
Kudos for appreciating your Dad; a tough subject, and one which we all have to deal with at some point. Keep up the great work; your videos are a highlight of the week, and your playing always an immense treat to listen to. Cheers.
Seattle, please. I could probably drive to LA, but I'd get lost and maybe start a fight or something. Nashville is out of the question. You won't ever get used to your dad being gone - I can state that with thirty years of trying. The things you might have said or done, through the fingers like sand. But he was a good man, and we can see the proof of that in you, Chris. Cheers, mate. You're a champ.
You are an amazing player my friend. I love your style and your voicing , just how you slide from phrase to phrase and such. Amazing. The souls and the feel, these player who just do nothing but shred 24/7 , there is just not music or soul to it. Do get me wrong there is a place for it , that’s not saying I think you are slow, you know when to burst and play fast when it and the song calls for it. And I loved how you opened up in this video and let people in. That in itself takes a lot of strength imo. Amazing playing , I found you a couple years ago and loved it ever since , you aren’t just my favourite player online you are way up there with a lot of greats my friend. Wish you would come to Canada. Maybe in future. Cheers mate
I am sorry for the loss of your father. I am glad your mental health is strong and in a good place. Please continue to live your dream and do what is best for you. You are a great musician and are very inspiring.
I've been watching your videos for about three years now, since your analysing John Lennon. Watch religiously every Saturday, I'm in Australia. Never been disappointed.
Appreciate the tour of Wales, your insight into the work and rewards of being a professional musician and your awkwardness of being open about the grief of losing your father and your general state of wellbeing. Much respect and admiration to you and those who earn their livelihood making music.
I didn’t know about your father, I lost mine when i was 11, so I know how world ending it feels but I’m really happy to see you included that last question from whoever asked it and that you opened up about it and also glad to hear you’re holding up I don’t know you personally, or your father but I imagine it would be safe to assume he would be proud of you
Just came back from a holiday in Key West; I went into the 'Smokin' Tuna' bar there , wearing my Cardinal Black T-shirt. The guitar player came up and told me he knew all about your band and how he loves your guitar playing- your reputation is spreading! ( he's a lovely guy called Caffeine Carl, great player too)
First of all: how come you are so articulate? You can’t do too many takes, so I guess that is one of your natural talents, like your left and right hand synchronicity, you are a perfect „Sprechdenker“ as we would call it in Germany. And secondly, your worst moments on stage felt a little cheated: there was one bad note in a solo and everything else was equipment failing you or circumstances. 😂 It’s a bit tough for us mortals, but good for you. Loved your show in Munich, keep it up and come back soon!
Sorry to hear of your loss Chris, loosing your parents is hard, but needs to be dealt with and processed over time, and that time of grieving is different for each of us. It's good to hear you're in a good place young man, keep up the great job you're doing, we love to see and here you. 👍❤️
Thanks for answering my acoustic question, a genuinely surprising answer! You and Danish Pete did some acoustic demos on Andertons, thought you both played incredibly.
Sorry for your loss. Losing a parent so young is hard. But it does get better. You will always feel the loss, but you will be at ease with it at some point too. I was 31 when I lost my dad. Now I am many years older. I know what you are going through.
From the admitted little I've seen and heard Chris play. Never live, yet. My guess is, his style favors lead playing in general. Acoustic guitar is more like rythm guitar. And that's just not how Chris prefers to express himself. He's not Tom Petty or John Mellencamp, and thank God for that! We love his playing just the way it is. I've seen him develop every little nuance of his style, in ways that are constantly evolving. This is a skill that doesn't translate the same way on an acoustic guitar.
There's a lot to unpack here and easily one of my favourite Friday Fretworks videos. I love the picturesque locations, the Q&A format, and most importantly, you not being afraid to show the off-moments on stage. I agree with learning to play the piano to have strong fundamentals (helped me with learning cello as an adult). Your kid is going to benefit from it a lot. Asking for help from those who know better is also good advice. I'm very glad to hear you're in a good place 😊
Great Vlog, Chris. Just back from Beddgelert, 🏴. Love Wales, love your videos, thanks for opening up about grief and loss. You're an inspiration to thousands of us...as a guitarist and as a bloody good bloke...!!🎶🎸
Thanks for being honest as always Chris and good to hear you're doing well overall despite some tough times. Excited about the idea of a signature guitar and nice Campervan by the way! 😉
Top bloke, Chris. I enjoy your thoughts on guitar and playing. Surprised by the acoustic thing, as you have great dexterity. I agree about the piano thing - gives a good grounding in music. Sorry for your loss and very brave to talk about that in this video. All the best with your music, guitar and band. Cheers 😁
Great content Chris,it fills my heart with joy to know you're in a good place & I wish nothing but happiness for you & all who make your world a better place❤
Love the channel Chris, so excited to see what happens with yours and the bands career. Anybody that has the opportunity to see you guys live should grab it with two hands, incredible music and playing and the man up front singing is as funny as he is soulful. Sorry to hear about your father passing too, wish you peace and love. Be well my friend 👊🏻
Condolences to you and your family on the loss of your Dad. I live in Kent, but we travelled over to St Davids for a couple of cracking holidays when my daughter was a teenager. Your video brought back lots of happy memories. Thank you, and best of luck with the tour preparations!
Thanks for the insight, Chris. And for being so open about your dealing with the loss of your father. Hadn't realised you were playing at Sub89 in Reading later in the year, will see you there!
Thanks for your transparency. Your willingness to invite us all on this amazing journey is truly special and I, for one, do not take it for granted. My wife and I looking forward to seeing you and your amazing bandmates at The Basement East when you come through Nashville in July. Blessings always.
Friday Fretworks videos get better and better all the time . Great content and playing . Your presenting style is great too , you’ll be doing The One Show with Alex Jones soon 🤣🤣
I'm so sorry about your father. I was in the same place 12 years ago, mine was also fairly young (61). Chin up my friend, remember the good times and smile. xx
I'm so sad to hear that about your dad. I've been through the same last year and I'm hoping we'll get over it. Music and keeping yourself busy helps a bit. But sometimes you recognise that that is unchangable. All the best for your live. I love your playing and your way of describing things btw.
You come across as a very grounded person in my observation.., as best as I can tell from watching your channel. Your a exceptionally gifted musician and seems you've navigated your career quite well for yourself. I can only imagine it is a testament to your parents upbringing that has lead you to the path of happiness and success. My sincerest condolences and prayers to you on losing your Father this year.., The torch is now naturally passed to you... Keep it burning..
I lost my mother and father 18 and 15 years ago respectively and though it does get easier with time, grief is an on going process. And I certainly had a delay in the grieving process, not really allowing myself to go there until about six years ago when I made an effort to approach it, interestingly using voice work as a tool to opening up the barriers that I had constructed. Blessings to you Chris and your family, may your father rest in peace. x
All the best Chris, bummer about your dad, sometimes life kicks you in the guts mate, I am 65 and there are aspects you never can 'process', which is where music comes into play, being the language of our heart.
Awesome to hear you open up about your dad and how you're dealing with losing him. We men aren't exactly known for being open and transparent and such. Nothing can affect your mental state like losing someone you love dearly. I lost my youngest son Joshua November of 22 in a motorcycle accident. He was 29. My only solace is that he was killed instantly and didn't suffer, although I would have very much liked to have seen him one more time and tell him goodbye for now. I could go on and on about how hard it's been to lose a child. It's just not natural. That's him and I together as my RUclips pic. He was about 20 there. He loved my Les Pauls and Harley Davidsons.
Lost my Old Man somewhat unexpectedly Friday the 13th November of 2020 and everything you said was spot on with my experience too brother. I thought there must have been something wrong with me as I'm assisting the Paramedics with lifting him off the bed and onto the hard floor to better implement chest compressions knowing full well, the only way my Old Man isn't already in Possession of The Reaper, is if the Medic wasn't sensitive enough to detect a Weak Pulse from a No Pulse. As a former member of the responding Fire Department an an EMT myself, that distinction is easier to get wrong than you might think. As the next sequence of events played out everyone with a job to do knew the Reaper was on his way out the door with what he'd come to collect. This had now become just Theater for my mother's piece of mind. In the midst of all that, I remember thinking to myself, "What is wrong with me? How do I feel nothing in the gravity of this situation?" It wasn't until a month later carrying the lifeless body of the Old Man's 17 year old (and heavy as shit) Labrador Retriever out of the same room, and to be buried in the same spot in the yard as the Old Man's ashes, that I got hit with something resembling an emotional response. And I'm not an emotionless dude either, I've even shed tears of inspiration from your artistry with the instrument most of us who support your channel play too. It's a trip losing your Father, and not at all what I expected it to be like. Anyhow, thought I'd share that cuase it sounded like you might be feeling similarly unusual about why you're not just wrecked by it. But hey life's wild ride, Rock & Roll Brother! Keep Kicking Ass and Love you dude!
So proud you are my grandson Chris. You are the kindest soul & I love you for it.🎸❤️🎸
That’s so heartwarming. Your grandson is awesome.
Apple does not fall far from the tree 👍🏻
Your grandson is one of my favorite guitarist.
You must have raised your son right - It's pretty plain to see that he passed it on to our hero here. I am so very sorry for your loss. Strength, peace , love and blessings from a stranger may have little meaning, but they're offered in respect and kindness.
Chris is a very inspiring guy, 🙏🏻
Please accept my sincere condolences on the loss of your father Chris.
credit to you for being completely open. we're all human after all
I had one of the toughest shows I’ve ever played yesterday. But your video cheered me up a bit, Chris. Musicians are humans, not robots. Things CAN go wrong during a gig. Thank you for sharing these tough moments on stage. Puts things in perspective for me.🙏

You make the world a better place Chris, you are so loved
It's great that you talk about your mistakes and limitations. It really helps the rest of us.
Much respect for playing the clips of you getting it wrong live. That really is keeping it real and honest. Things go wrong when music is played live. The fact that its always on a knife edge is what makes it exciting.
love how this episode is more personal, more about you. Take care, hard work, being a father and losing your own father, must be a lot to deal with
Your a very humble person...exceptionally talented but humble; .admirable in these strange days. .Go well Chis. you deserve it
My best friend and fellow musician is my keyboard player and i agree with you - wish I had started on the piano. He regularly finds the right notes, melodies, chords and vocal harmonies for the band.

You being a GnR fan explains why you are so melodic with your playing. He is one of my favorite guitarist and is criminally underrated in my opinion!

Respect to you guy!!!!! And about that Revstar Signature…….. 😮
Seattle, please. I could probably drive to LA, but I'd get lost and maybe start a fight or something. Nashville is out of the question.
You won't ever get used to your dad being gone - I can state that with thirty years of trying. The things you might have said or done, through the fingers like sand. But he was a good man, and we can see the proof of that in you, Chris. Cheers, mate. You're a champ.
Nice one Chris. Thanks for sharing the home land scenery and you as an individual. Best to you and loved ones your end.
Brilliant playing once again Chris. 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for getting out of the house and sharing some Wales with us. Great info share.
Excellent video as usual. Love Fridays.
You are an amazing player my friend. I love your style and your voicing , just how you slide from phrase to phrase and such. Amazing.

sorry for the loss of your father chris, can only imagine how hard it is. Sending love and looking forward to the 2nd album
A signature Chris Buck revstar is definitely a guitar I would buy in a heart beat.
So sorry for your loss Enjoyed the video, great stuff!!
Appreciate the tour of Wales, your insight into the work and rewards of being a professional musician and your awkwardness of being open about the grief of losing your father and your general state of wellbeing. Much respect and admiration to you and those who earn their livelihood making music.

A sensitive and lovely intro, thank you Chris Buck.
from a sensitive and lovely young man never stop Chris and thanks
Very nice episode. Thanks.
Really looking forward to seeing you in Nashville.

Great video.....protect those hands and stay away from home improvements!!
Condolences on the loss of your father. May he Rest In Peace for All Eternity.
i absolutely love your play and your tone. sorry for your loss pal
Sorry to hear of your loss Chris, loosing your parents is hard, but needs to be dealt with and processed over time, and that time of grieving is different for each of us. It's good to hear you're in a good place young man, keep up the great job you're doing, we love to see and here you. 👍❤️
Great video Chris. Thank you.
All the best for the rest of the year. Hopefully see you in Falmouth 🤘
Always a great and fun show that you give us. Many thanks from Ballentrae, Ontario, Canada.
I've been down West lately too. Mostly Saundersfoot and Manorbier. Love St. Davids too.
What a lovely video Chris. Guess you've added the Welsh Tourist Board to your income streams. Never looked so good.
Thanks for answering my acoustic question, a genuinely surprising answer! You and Danish Pete did some acoustic demos on Andertons, thought you both played incredibly.
Sorry for your loss Chris. Thank you for sharing! Looking forward to better times ahead for you. 🎸
Spectacular performance. Thank you for the emotional entrance. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Fantastic landscapes thank you from the trip and beautiful music, as always - From France. Hope I can see your country one day.
Sorry for your loss. Losing a parent so young is hard. But it does get better. You will always feel the loss, but you will be at ease with it at some point too. I was 31 when I lost my dad. Now I am many years older. I know what you are going through.

The landscape where you are at is just stunning. Love this time of year when the greens are fresh and new.
Nothing looks nicer than a paddock full of "feed"... especially if you're a farmer.
Great Vlog, Chris. Just back from Beddgelert, 🏴. Love Wales, love your videos, thanks for opening up about grief and loss. You're an inspiration to thousands of us...as a guitarist and as a bloody good bloke...!!🎶🎸

Condolences to you and your family on the loss of your Dad.
I live in Kent, but we travelled over to St Davids for a couple of cracking holidays when my daughter was a teenager. Your video brought back lots of happy memories. Thank you, and best of luck with the tour preparations!
Thanks for the insight, Chris. And for being so open about your dealing with the loss of your father. Hadn't realised you were playing at Sub89 in Reading later in the year, will see you there!
Thanks for your transparency. Your willingness to invite us all on this amazing journey is truly special and I, for one, do not take it for granted. My wife and I looking forward to seeing you and your amazing bandmates at The Basement East when you come through Nashville in July. Blessings always.
Can't wait to see you live in Omaha! Hope your holiday is peaceful and relaxing.
Very cool episode, thanks for the holiday vlog! Made for an awesome track through the questions
Really cool to know more about you great video it’s different and interesting ❤
My favourite corner of the internet. Looking forward to seeing you in Manchester later this year.
Friday Fretworks videos get better and better all the time . Great content and playing . Your presenting style is great too , you’ll be doing The One Show with Alex Jones soon 🤣🤣
Wales is beautiful, Cheers Chris
God bless you Chris. Thanks for doing this.🎸👍
👍Much respect Chris. You honored your father. Don't forget your mum too though.
Looking to get tix at Basement East. Good excuse for a birthday trip from Michigan.
You’re singers voice is spectacular 👌
I'm so sorry about your father. I was in the same place 12 years ago, mine was also fairly young (61). Chin up my friend, remember the good times and smile. xx
I'm so sad to hear that about your dad. I've been through the same last year and I'm hoping we'll get over it.
Music and keeping yourself busy helps a bit. But sometimes you recognise that that is unchangable. All the best for your live. I love your playing and your way of describing things btw.
Just got myself a fender offset, a Mustang, love it! Your playing shows what can be achieved! Awesome
Loved that episode, very candid and relaxed. Interesting stuff. Top man 😎🏴
Great episode. Warts an’ all. Hats off. I would buy a Chris Buck revstar, preferably with the checking on the finish though 😬
I understand how it feels to lose a father. Happy for you that you’re in a good place. Keep making beautiful music, Chris! Cheers.
Great stuff I have to say am a big fan of your playing Chris you are one of the best I’ve seen 👌👌👍
Maaan! I hope Cardinal Black would guest on NPR soon.
Yes! Tiny Desk Concert!!

Deepest and most sincere condolences, Brawd. Lost mine at a similar age. Cadwch yn gryf. Bydd yn dod yn haws.
All the best Chris, bummer about your dad, sometimes life kicks you in the guts mate, I am 65 and there are aspects you never can 'process', which is where music comes into play, being the language of our heart.
Good on you for being so open about your father. Time does soften it my friend. Kia kaha (take strength from those around you).
Awesome to hear you open up about your dad and how you're dealing with losing him. We men aren't exactly known for being open and transparent and such.

It wasn't until a month later carrying the lifeless body of the Old Man's 17 year old (and heavy as shit) Labrador Retriever out of the same room, and to be buried in the same spot in the yard as the Old Man's ashes, that I got hit with something resembling an emotional response. And I'm not an emotionless dude either, I've even shed tears of inspiration from your artistry with the instrument most of us who support your channel play too. It's a trip losing your Father, and not at all what I expected it to be like. Anyhow, thought I'd share that cuase it sounded like you might be feeling similarly unusual about why you're not just wrecked by it. But hey life's wild ride, Rock & Roll Brother! Keep Kicking Ass and Love you dude!
Thanks for sharing... great as usual
Very windy here in the Southern U.S. as well. Happy Friday.
Enjoyed this insight. 👍🇦🇺
