Tell Me How It Feels
Cardinal Black, 2022. Solo by Chris Buck.
Tell Me How It Feels highlights Chris Buck's patient, melodic approach to blues-rock soloing. His solo is built from long bends, careful vibrato and phrases that leave space for the band, never rushing to fill every bar. The Stratocaster tone is clean with a touch of overdrive, letting every nuance of his touch come through. Buck's playing recalls the lyrical blues-rock of the 1970s while sounding fresh and personal. The solo serves the song's ballad mood, adding emotion rather than distraction. Listen for the long, slow bends near the solo's peak, where he holds notes and lets the vibrato do the talking, drawing out every bit of feeling.
