There has been many a great player emerging out of the blues scene over the past decade or so, though young Welshman Chris Buck could very well be the cream of the crop. His phrasing is exceptional, he never overplays but still knows when to utilise technique, and every note is struck with the utmost control and no shortage of charisma.
His tones are equally as jaw-dropping, and while he’s been spotted with all kinds of Fenders and Gibsons over the years, it’s his custom Yahama Revstar goldtop that is more often than not seen in his hands, going through an elaborate pedalboard he jokingly refers to as “50 shades of gain” and into a Victory V140 or MK Clean.
