Jeeeez! Those first 2 notes speak more than some artists entire catalog!

[daddysasquatch]

That opening jam, what!?! I had to listen to it twice and then go lay down for a little while. So good.

[FedeLt]

In all honesty, you have a crazy dynamic in your fingers. I love when a guitarist can use all the potential of an instrument using fingers and volume knob. You are one of the best out there.

[mypups]

Hey Chris, your creative skills and unique style keep getting better and better. Hard to imagine that’s possible. Thanks for blessing us all.

That last tune was worthy of Richie Sambora at his 90s peak.

[JDODify]

Fuck sake, Chris! I actually spoke to ATB about that on Monday. You've just sent the price through the roof

[tomfitzsimmons]

There must be a thousand highly accomplished guitar players on youtube. You're the only one who's never boring. You have the mostly indefinable extra ingredients that make a guitarist great.

[stevekannes]

[billkeaveney]

Such a monster guitar player. It’s crazy.

[andrewfindlay]

Chris?!! WTF...stunning intro piece...speechless!

[rttlechn]

This guitar has a weird dreamy tone but that might be Chris doing his ChrisBuck-thing. Amazing playing but this guitar sounds strangely special.

[MrDBob]

In my high school band, I had a MM - another guy in the band had the two pickup version, and another band member had the SG-shaped MM. I can't even remember where we got them, but it was before guitars were hoarded and old ones worshipped. I traded mine for a Strat, which didn't suit me at all, and I got the bridge all out of adjustment. I traded that toward an ES 330, which I kept until I got the strange notion that I was finished with electric guitars. I might add that I graduated high school in 1967.

[RichFranks]

I like the way you let the guitar know who is the boss!

[Adamjpx]

That middle jam was so tasteful it absolutely amazes me

[scottdunbar]

Come for Gibson, stay for the juicy riffs.
Thanks for the video, brother.

[davidwoods]

It sounds absolutely deadly in your hands. Top notch tone and playing. An inherently slight, almost cocked wah tone to those pickups. This was an enjoyable video. And whomever ends up purchasing that guitar, is a lucky person.
