My gawd, I could listen to Chris talk about the history of guitars in Western music all day long.
Chris Scruggs is a Country Music icon!!
Chris Scruggs is a National Treasure.
Chris Scruggs is so nice and helpful with his vast knowledge of music. I appreciate it, thank you!
Yo, I'm 13 minutes into this video and it's already brimming with worthwhile information. Really great stuff.
Chris is Country Royalty....Look at his Family Tree!
Chris Scruggs is an absolute monster. He knows he’s the best player in the room but would never say it. Such a humble dude, and a real music historian.
Can he cut heads with Greg Koch?
he's sitting in an empty room

The tone from that combo is so sweet too.
After you hear Chris Scruggs nail pretty much any country style on guitar here, remember that he is also a world-class lap steel player and got a little gig as well with pretty much THE best country band working today: Marty Stuart and the Fabulous Superlatives. And he is the BASS PLAYER there. 'Nuff said. There is talent and then there is Chris Scruggs!
With the Clark Kent Glasses, red shirt, yellow guitar and blue jeans Chris is pretty much Superman's hillbilly brother with guitar powers instead of heat vision.
There ain't many guitarist like Chris ,There are guys that can tell back grounds and not play well but Chris has both at a professor level ,I'M sure everyone else that clicked play on this thought ill give it 2 minutes and was wanting 2 hrs at category 4 .Fender would be foolish not to fully endorse Chris and give him more exposure so the American guitar history is kept alive and so is the names of the players. I bet you can't ask Chris a trick question and him not know the correct awnser, An amazing player and great historian. Thank you im going to look like a genius next band rehearsal just casually popping out styles and names just to mess with the lead guitarist and deflate his ego a little ,all in the name of guitar love .
I could listen to Chris talk about country music history all night
No doubt!
and he's so humble about it.
Why oh why do we not have more of Chris Scruggs on RUclips?! This is easily the best thing around.
I was so happy when Chris joined Marty and the Fabulous Superlatives. What a super group, when Chris is your bass player. I loved Chris in BR549, too. He is the real deal and I agree he should be all over RUclips and on everybody's play list.
I3
Thank GOD they at least mentioned the GREAT DANNY GATTON toward the end. Killer video.
Wow. A guy with CS’s pedigree doing this kinda thing is just fantastic.
Chris Scruggs.
Man.
Unreal.
He was a friend of a friend and an acquaintance of mine. He stood to gain nothing from me but made you feel like a friend of his. So talent, skill, knowledge completely set aside. Mr. Scruggs is a top notch guy.
Chris Scruggs could teach a master class in Country Music history...even down to the nuances of each great guitar player's instrument, rig and playing style...the guy is a walking encyclopedia. The Country Music Hall of Fame should record him teaching, just like you are doing here, for posterity.
To be a fly on the wall when Chris Scruggs, Marty Stuart, and Kenny Vaughan are having an impromptu jam session!
Yes plesse
Damn ....🤔
This is one of those demonstration "courses" where you watch in awe and say damn I wish I could play like that!!
Wow is there anything Chris has not mastered RESPECTFULLY SIR!!😮
Chris is a massive talent ❤
And I could listen to Scruggs all day long, talking or playing. Either’s good
Chris Scruggs is beyond amazing .. What a wealth of talent and knowledge ... Wonderful to see !
Chris Scruggs is new to me. What a super knowledgeable guy h is on this subject, and what a FANTASTIC PLAYER!
Wow, Chris Scruggs is an encyclopedia of country guitar pickin'. Thanks for this.
@Hello Bill how are you doing
Chris is a national treasure. I'm a Marty/Superlative fan and have seen them live a few times. Chis is a humble guy only using a fraction of his talent on bass & vocal harmonizing. But man I could listen to him talk & play guitar into the wee hours...
This is Fender's best vid...Scruggs is not only a monster guitar player but an true antiquarian of country guitar styles. Kudos to the other two guys two guys for keeping quiet and just letting him give us a history/playing lesson.
Spellbinding, like listening to the encyclopedia of country guitar, being played.
Chris Scuggs , a lifetime of music in his blood, born and bred to play.
Thank you so much !!
Mr. Scruggs is the living embodiment of what I love about real country music. The guitar style and technique, the way it flows, the way a Tele goes hand and hand with a guit-steel, respect and appreciation for the music history. I've been a fan since the BR549 days.
One of the best uploads on guitar history I’ve ever heard. Thanks
I am from Muhlenberg County. My Great Grandfather was Earl Travis, first cousins with Merle. I was glad to hear Chris give the shoutout to our heritage.
Wow! Chris Scruggs is an encyclopedia, awesome!
Chris knows string gauge history, Western swing, California twang, etc. Is there anything about these subjects he doesn’t know? Just WOW!
His musical gift and knowledge know no bounds. Love him!
Right? The history of string gauges never even crossed my mind til watching this
I wonder if he knows why kids love the taste of cinnamon toast crunch... or why the caged bird sings
Now THIS is a show. I could listen to these guys all day long
I need a weekly video from Chris Scruggs, just talking and playing
Chris is now my new guitar hero ..... thank you
My gosh, Chris is an encyclopedia of country guitar.playing.
The best guitar playing, I've heard in a long time. Lots of great stuff. I've been looking at a Reverend tele with a Bigsby. I love a good Gretsch too. We're all blessed!
Thank you to Fender and all 3 amazing musicians for inviting us to this amazing conversation.
Chris Scruggs is a fantastic player. It is criminal that he's not a household name and a huge star. As I understand it, the Fabulous Superlatives all agree that he's the best guitarist in the band--and he's the BASS player! The man is not only a supremely gifted musician but a treasure trove of country music historical facts. What a talent!
Excellent work! Really enjoyed this. Chris is such an amazing player, historian, and teacher. Please do a part 2.
And I’m requesting a part 3 and onwards. Not every RUclips video makes me want to pick up a guitar but this one does for sure.
Chris Scruggs’s tone was so much better than the others immediately
Tube amp vs a modeler amp.
I could listen to Chris Scruggs play and talk history all day long. Been a big fan since the ole BR days.
I would love 2 see you guys do a rip of some Scottie Anderson stuff,hes kind of an unsung superhero,but this was great man,it is a lost importance it seems 2 know the origins from wich we develope,,,NEVER underestimate this journey,understanding is the most powerful form of wisdom,THANX GUYS,catch ya on the ricochet...
My Mother took a deep dive into country beginning in the 1930's when she was teenager. She was a fan of Chris's mother Gail Davies. She saw Chris many times through the years in small venues and always enjoyed his musicianship. She talked with him some about her experiences too. Chris truly brightened her days. Cool dude he is.
Great country 👍🏼 history 👌.. Old Country will never die!
❤you are so loved and appreciated Chris Scruggs. Great video
No end of talent with this Cat. Lovely.
Thanks Fender for inviting the inimitable Chris Scruggs to give a tour of country music guitar styles. I grew up on this music and still play it today. Videos like this show how exciting and deep country guitar really is. The more we get these sounds into young ears, the better chance we have of preserving it and letting it inform modern styles. There's a rich history worth digging into and Fender was a huge part of it. Thanks, Fender, for letting Chris show us how it's done..
The electric guitar carmelized the edges of country music and formed rock 'n roll. I'm watching this for the second time, by the way. Love this.
Man did Chris's Vibrolux sound absolutely incredible or what?! That has got to be one of Fender's finest sounding amps- and that's sure as hell saying a lot!
Best show I’ve seen. Thanks Chris Scruggs 🎸🎸🎸
We need more Chris!!!
Wow! I thoroughly enjoyed this video with Chris Scruggs as special guest. Chris has logged thousands of hours playing the clubs all over Nashville and his endless knowledge of country music history makes him a huge asset to country music. I have watched Chris play live in Nashville dozens of times. He plays a variety of instruments and plays them all quite well. And he is also a very humble and likeable guy. Thanks to Fender for having him as a guest. Please have Chris on again soon!!!
Great video guys. It brought my excitement back about good Ol' Country pickin. Thanks
We strive to make this page a resource for all musicians.. 🎶 We appreciate the kind words!
@Hello George how are you doing
Wow, Chris is a monster player and knows his history too!! What a cool dude!!!
Chris Scruggs is one of if not possibly the best all around country genre player. Absolutely amazing repertoire. love to see anything he does.
When Chris sings it's like they've just put an old 78 on.
Thanks to Fender and this group of talented players for introducing this style of playing to a younger audience. It’s important and appreciated.
Holy cow! What a musical lesson. I’m blown away with the history. The playing is amazing by Chris Scruggs.
I'm not a guitar player, but I got a kick out of this video. Loved the history.
Love love love Chris Scruggs!
What a treat listening to Chris
Tremendous history lesson
Started watching and just couldn't stop,. Thanks Chris Scruggs for a wealth of knowledge! Great show guys.

Fender, give us more of this type of content. Thanks.
Okay, color me highly impressed! These guys are like the Ph.Ds of Country Swing and all that came after. What a great podcast!!
@Hello John how are you doing
I could watch this stuff for hours and left my plans. Lovin' the topic!
Scruggs' tone, both from gear and hands, is so rich and delicious. Plus he knows everything about everything. Marty Stuart has mentioned this about Chris before, seems true.
@Hello James how are you doing
Chris is also a masterful steel player.
Chris Scruggs is the REAL DEAL!
Dude rips on bass too for Marty Stuart. He’s crazy.
@@dereksorensen8019 And steel. Check out Hot Like That by Kenny Vaughan (live in a record store), It’s on RUclips. CS kills it.
Is he related to the great Earl Scruggs?
@@brushstroke3733 Yea, he's his grandson
This is the reason why Marty introduces Chris Scruggs as The Professor.
Great interview skills, enormously gratifying, to see the politeness. Great history and demonstration by the player. Glad I happened onto this one.
Chris is the real deal on anything strings. Plus a class act to be true. Great video!
Before Danny Gatton, Chet was doing the galloping guitar sound. Chet was also sweep picking before the rock players picked up on it and made it cool. Chet also praised Jerry Reed, saying he (Jerry) was better than he (Chet) was. Tough call. Chris is a modern day master though. I'd love to see him jamming with Redd Volkaert.
Gentle persons ..these guys are total pros so strong in experience an d talent, they work well with one another with respect, humor and exposure to varieties expressions they don’t need to show the size of their…talent. Men, strong talented mem. Thank God. Strength in simplicity. Great job guys! I love the south.
❤ Don Rich was a child prodigy, and before I was one year old from his mothers lap, we watched him on a darkened stage in Olympia, Washington, and I got the bug for live music right then and right there
This is the best Fender Play LIVE I’ve seen yet. My dad played guitar and I never knew a name for his style. Well y’all just told me, he played Western swing. Excellent show, lots of history from Chris. Thanks Fender Play,
Chris' knowledge of the Southern and Central California country (and western) music scene in the 1940s through 1960s period is impressive. I grew up there at that time and every Friday night was live music night in our family. My father was a "hillbilly DJ" (as they were called in those days) in the 40s and that's how he met my mother. From the Maddox Brothers and Rose to guitar giants like Merle Travis and Joe Maphis, Chris seems to know them all. Pretty surprising for a Tennessee boy. Now we just need him to do a segment on the Fender steel guitars. Like Chris and Kayton Roberts, I'm a Dual Pro player, but I make room for the Stringmasters as well.
Is Chris related to Earl Scruggs?
Earl was his grandfather.
@@39MercFlathead Gary was his biological male parental unit. He is the only child of singer Gail Davies and songwriter Gary Scruggs. His maternal grandfather is the late country singer Tex Dickerson and his paternal grandfather is bluegrass banjo player Earl Scruggs.
I need all the Chris Scruggs educational videos I can get. This is GOLD. ❤
Telecasters just have my favorite body (without belly cut), pickguard and headstock shape. Sounds great as well of course 😄
Chris Scruggs is so talented it sounds studio final take perfect
Really loved all the great playing from all you guys
Chris went off on this, wow. What a lesson.
Chris is one of my favorite artist from this generation
Great amp choice by Mr. Scruggs. My favorite amp ever was my '73 Vibrolux Reverb. My dad gave it to me around 1985. Then my (now ex) wife burned my house down. She wasn't after my music gear. She thought I was home, so it was ME she was trying to turn to ashes.
Dear Me, I havent heard Ralph Mooney's name in a while. Great, great show.
My favorite part about these videos is the beautiful dark wall paint with the cool framed prints.
Great episode. Chris needs his own show!!
@Hello Andy how are you doing
What a treat. Scruggs’ depth of knowledge and clear respect for the lineages is appreciated. Will seek out your work, sir! Cheers, Daniel
Fantastic show! Thank you! Mr Scruggs is an amazing encyclopedia of practice, theory and history! More episodes would be most welcome!
This is a PHENOMENAL historical lesson on so many styles and their originators
The country guys are so spot on. They play stuff that makes sense, they jump in, do their thing, usually 8 bars worth and step off, blend into the rhythm and get on with the song. That's what I love about all those guys. They play like grownups.
George Harrison and Elliot Easton from The Cars are great examples of how folks outside the country genre can learn from them.
The amount of talent...
1. This is all just plain Fantastically FASCINATING !
2. TELE-Talk HEAVEN.
Chris Scruggs!!!!!!!!!
WOW!!! I’ve just seen this and Chris is an astounding player, with an encyclopaedic knowledge of country music. Thank you Fender for posting this!
My dad was born and raised in west Texas and Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys was his favorite. I’m glad he passed on the tradition
Good job covering the bases for roots country guitar. Where it all comes from. Less we forget!
Thanks to the guys at Fender Play for creating and posting this excellent video and thanks to Chris for providing all the history and the awesome playing on this video, he showed that he has some mighty good chops here...!
Ernest Tubb! That guy owes me money!!!!!
