I think you'd have fun on the main stage at First Ave in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I've played on it a few times and it was rad. I'd love to see you guys there!
I'm Welsh too and old but you have elevated my sound and style in a way that only David Gilmour and Rory Gallagher have in the past . Thanks for lifting my playing out of a rut❤
Slash is my favorite as well, and I can hear his influence in your playing with the absolutely crazy melodic lines you throw in your solos. Slash is my favorite, but you're the one I try most to emulate in that sense; you've taken it to your own level. You are your own amazing player at this point.
Absolutely brilliant news, it's taken you and the guys many years of shear hard graft, but finally you have made it. My husband is an avid guitar player who has taken many inspirations from your weekly vlogs and has continued to improve through them. Again, massive congratulations to all of you and the best of luck with the tour.👏👏👏👏
Hey, congratulations Chris, a humble admirer from Perth Australia here, been watching your career with both interest and good wishes, you are a uniquely talented player.
I love to see you, that guy that explains and discusses as a pro, who influences and plays like he never has done anything else and who has such a great phrasing and dynamics, i love it to see you exited like a kid. So much authenticity, so unapologetically you. Thanks for all that. And, as others wrote: you deserve this, good luck and have a good time over there!
I am 59 years old. I have been watching you and your band Cardinal Black for quite a while now. It is so exciting to see you and Cardinal Black reach stardom. It’s actually kind of weird to say, but really, I’m proud of you guys. I think Cardinal Black puts out exceptional music. It goes without saying, the guitar playing is phenomenal! I have told everybody I know about CardinalBlack. Your success is well deserved and I hope that one of these days I am able to see you in concert. Carry on!
Congratulations Chris A recent convert after the morcheeba gig amazing player and band I genuinely think your the best guitarist I’ve ever seen and look forward to Shepherd’s Bush in October Good luck in the US and the troubadour 💪
Veeery cool. But based on the thumbnail I thought it was the announcement of the long awaited Chris Buck Signature Revstar!!! Yamaha give this guy a deal!
Came to write exactly the same thing mate ! They better get their act together or another company is going to snap him up and we’ll never see a Yamaha sig
Chris, I will be seeing Cardinal Black at the Troubadour on the 18th of July! I live in San Diego and have been one of your biggest fans for going on 2 years now. Your playing in your intro videos never fails to send me to an emotional place. While I may not meet you, I'm greatly looking forward to bearing witness to you playing in person, no less at a place that holds such reverence in your heart. Cheers to you and the fellas, and I absolutely cannot wait to see you man!
Cardinal Black deserves this! They are the total package IMO. Songs above all…and they know how to squeeze the most from these soulful tunes! Can’t wait to see y’all in Nashville!
Everything you own, you've earned. There's only one David Gilmour, only one Slash - but if I could have the chops to play like someone, it would be Chris.
We all make our own history. You & the band are on a trajectory that’s well deserved. Perhaps one day Cardinal Black & Joe Bonamasa can share a stage here in Seattle. Best wishes and keep rockin with those magnificent riffs & solos !
Selling out the troubadour is an amazing achievement. True reflection of your and the rest of the bands amazing talent. I am so pleased for you all. Looking forward to seeing in the UK soon.
Chris, I've been a fan of your playing and videos for a couple of years now! Congrats on your upcoming tour to the US. Can't wait to see you play in Nashville next month!
Absolutely chuffed for you and the band. Played the Memo Live CD on my way from Newport to Barry this morning. I was at that show. Enjoy your time on tour.
The old adage, "the bigger they are, the nicer they are," really does apply to Chris Buck. What a talented and humble man. Much luck to you and the band in everything you do.
I never heard that so called "old adage"! If anything it's the opposite, and since I toured myself for over a decade, the opposite is more often true in the music industry, and it's way well known in the world of business, making the few that are cool stand out more. "Don't let the dazzle of the exception, obfuscate the ugliness of the rule". - Me, just now.
@@Bob-of-Zoid I asked my wife which guitarists in the bands she saw were nice and she said she didn't know she only slept with the drummers but she'd heard a lot of them in the 70s were nice to children
Well done Chris and the guys, richly deserved! Saw your great show in Chester recently, how the hell you aren’t playing the main stage at Glastonbury is beyond me. You would storm it!😁
Congrats Chris! Truly a dream come true. I wish I could make it to the Nashville show. Please as much as you can, do your best to relish the moment. Also, please come to back Nashville in the near future✌🏻
Hi Chris, Congratulations on achieving one of your life's goals. I've been a subscriber to your RUclips site since 2020, at least. I look forward to your videos every Friday. They have given me guitar lessons, gear reviews, musical history, and a little insight into being a professional musician.
Excited for you all ! You can treat yourself to a nice new Squier Sonic for these shows ! Truth is you’d still be stunning with one of those ! Humbucker on the bridge mate , all you need 😀🎸
I get goosebumps every time you launch into your epic bends ... I've been playing for 44 years and your playing is truly inspirational to me ! Straight path to feelings, no detours .. no holds barred ! Amazing ! Please keep doing what you're doing!
Stumbled onto you via the algorithm a while ago and, by coincidence, you are also a favourite of our son who lives in LA whom we are visiting in a week or two and, YES, we are going to the Troubadour gig! Really looking forward to it!
I discovered Chris when I was researching my first Revstar back in the Gen 1 days. Chris inspirationally pointed me in the direction of the 502t which started my love of the guitars, Buck & Evan’s and Cardinal Black. CB deserves all the successes coming there way. Can’t wait for an Australian tour one day.. 🙏🇦🇺
Mr. Buck, in my 73 years on this planet (59 of them as a guitar player) you are the most melodic and expressive guitar soloist I've yet heard (apologies to Jeff). Wishing you all the best and I'll be listening! Be Cool.
Im having a drink every time you say Troubadour. Somone get me a stomach pump! Only messin man, killer video, stoked for you guys! I'm looking forward to watching you guys later in the year!
Ive been watching your channel for a couple of years and am so very happy for you. Playing the Troubadour is HUGE and so cool! Congrats and here's to the start of a huge fan base growing here in the USA!
U.S.A shows:
07/13 - Playing With Fire, Omaha
07/15 - Basement East, Nashville (Final Tix)
07/18 - Troubadour, L.A (Sold Out)

Bloody Hell! Sweet playing Chris! You earned your way there.
Please come to Boston !!
I think you'd have fun on the main stage at First Ave in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I've played on it a few times and it was rad. I'd love to see you guys there!
Come to Tulsa Oklahoma!!
Close to Omaha 👀
@@kevinmackfurniture or somewhere in new england
Brilliant Chris, I hope the Troubadour boosts your profile in the US the way it has for so many others that you mentioned
Well deserved, Chris. Have a great time. As a fellow Welshman, I'm proud of what you're doing.
I'm Welsh too and old but you have elevated my sound and style in a way that only David Gilmour and Rory Gallagher have in the past . Thanks for lifting my playing out of a rut❤

I’m going to try to make the Nashville show, it’s a few hours away but we’ll worth it. I’m cheering you on!!
Absolutely brilliant news, it's taken you and the guys many years of shear hard graft, but finally you have made it. My husband is an avid guitar player who has taken many inspirations from your weekly vlogs and has continued to improve through them.
Again, massive congratulations to all of you and the best of luck with the tour.👏👏👏👏
Congrats on your upcoming US debut from north Texas! Cheers!!🍻🤠
Congratulations to you & Cardinal Black. You deserve all the best of USA.
Congratulations! Well deserved!
Bravo and here is to all the success you deserve!
Geat playing! Amazing tone and oh so tasty licks.
More people are aware of Cardinal Black over here in North America than you realize Chris. Hope you have a blast playing these amazing gigs!
Couldn’t be more happy for you. You deserve this and much, much more.
Awesome, but so so deserved. Cheering on from afar ..... Portugal
Hey, congratulations Chris, a humble admirer from Perth Australia here, been watching your career with both interest and good wishes, you are a uniquely talented player.
Lovely to feel how a dream comes true. Be yourself, play as yourselves and it will be wonderful.
Everytime I hear Half Way I'm reminded why I love this band.
I love to see you, that guy that explains and discusses as a pro, who influences and plays like he never has done anything else and who has such a great phrasing and dynamics, i love it to see you exited like a kid. So much authenticity, so unapologetically you. Thanks for all that. And, as others wrote: you deserve this, good luck and have a good time over there!
You’ve earned this and I’m so glad you get to live your dream.

Stardom ?
@@donkeevney Well, maybe not exactly - yet, but it's a foot in the door and a great opportunity for them.
Stardom? we are here to see Cris Buck playing the guitar, that´s it.
@@AndrewBuck86the whole band are talented
@@Tetratwanger yes! You're right!
But, I don't like Cardinal Black.
I only listen the band for Chris.
If anybody deserves this, it's Chris Buck and The Cardinal Black! Bravo!
Congratulations, mate! Your trajectory is right on target. Great to see true rock bands find success and yours is well earned and deserved.
Many Congratulations! I well remember you, Tom & Adam appearing at The Troubadour London.🎸🎤🥁
Congratulations Chris. I wish you all the luck.
So well deserved! Great to see some people getting the attention they deserve ❤
PS not quite the Troubadour but I’ll see you at Komedia in Bath later in the year!🤘
Congratulations Chris
A recent convert after the morcheeba gig amazing player and band
I genuinely think your the best guitarist I’ve ever seen and look forward to Shepherd’s Bush in October Good luck in the US and the troubadour 💪
Just wanted to say how happy I am for you and the band. What a wonderful milestone-thanks so much for sharing, and all the best for the show…
Good luck, well deserved and I hope one of your dreams lives up to all it's expectations. Have a great one, see you back in Wales soon.
Veeery cool. But based on the thumbnail I thought it was the announcement of the long awaited Chris Buck Signature Revstar!!! Yamaha give this guy a deal!
Bro, those would sell out in seconds. Come on Yamaha
Came to write exactly the same thing mate ! They better get their act together or another company is going to snap him up and we’ll never see a Yamaha sig
Same thought😊
Absolutely exquisite player in all respects: tone, control, technique and originality. It’s humbling and inspiring to watch you perform, Chris.
Chris, I will be seeing Cardinal Black at the Troubadour on the 18th of July! I live in San Diego and have been one of your biggest fans for going on 2 years now.

You all, absolutely deserve the support and recognition you are getting.
Congrats!
You are one hell of a player, Mr. Buck. Hats off to you.👏
Cardinal Black deserves this! They are the total package IMO. Songs above all…and they know how to squeeze the most from these soulful tunes! Can’t wait to see y’all in Nashville!
Superb. Recognition well deserved. Bravo!
Greatness doesn't like to be constrained. Awesome seeing this happen, wish I could attend.
Congrats Chris and CB, hope the shows go well. Looking forward to catching you at Sub-89 in Reading later in the year.
Great news! Very happy for you! Are you guys coming to Canada? I live in Montreal and i’d love to see you live!
You rock. Congratulations on your success. Well deserved. Looking forward to seeing Cardinal Black at the Troubadour,
Everything you own, you've earned. There's only one David Gilmour, only one Slash - but if I could have the chops to play like someone, it would be Chris.
Me too. Well said
Many, many congrats Chris to both you and the band.
Congrats, Mr. Buck! The way you play didn't come without a very high level of dedication - it sure make sense to me that you're selling out venues!! 👍
We all make our own history. You & the band are on a trajectory that’s well deserved.
Perhaps one day Cardinal Black & Joe Bonamasa can share a stage here in Seattle.
Best wishes and keep rockin with those magnificent riffs & solos !
Selling out the troubadour is an amazing achievement. True reflection of your and the rest of the bands amazing talent. I am so pleased for you all. Looking forward to seeing in the UK soon.
Well deserved mate. Love watching you thrive. Best of luck to you and the rest of the band.
Congratulations Chris and band!
Hope to see you in Italy one day!
And yes totally agree that venue for you must have been an unbelievable experience.
TBH I think you guys deserve it!
Great personal story Chris. Thank you for sharing and so pleased your dream of the US Troubadour is coming true. See you in Nashville!
A hearty welcome to America! Hoping you make it to Houston next time!
Congrats, fully deserved. I wish I would be there. Rock on!!!
Well deserved. It's a really good album. Have fun out there!
Chris, I've been a fan of your playing and videos for a couple of years now! Congrats on your upcoming tour to the US. Can't wait to see you play in Nashville next month!
Congrats on the Troubador show in LA. They’ll love you.
Really pleased for you and the rest of the band Chris! 👊🏻👍🏻🖤
You deserve every second, Chris. So happy for you.
