Recently, I picked up my 4-year-old son from school and struck up a conversation with the father of one of his classmates. Before long, we found ourselves talking about this podcast series. The father mentioned that he was also a guitarist and, moreover, the son of a professional musician. "In my opinion, there’s one guitarist who stands head and shoulders above everyone else," he said. "And that’s Chris Buck.""Ha!" I replied. "I actually spoke to him just yesterday."
Chris truly is a ‘one of a kind’ guitarist. Every note he plays sounds so beautiful, so precise, so charming, and expressive. His phrasing is incredibly delicate, he crafts his solos masterfully, and he never shows everything he’s got—though you know there’s more left in the tank. That always grabs my attention. And it moves me. Just like that father at the schoolyard.
Speaking of fathers: in this candid conversation, we also talk about family and the influences we carry from the environment in which we were raised. Once again, I’m incredibly grateful for this encounter, the conversation, and the lessons I’ve learned by speaking with someone who masters his craft in such an extraordinary way.
