“I think I knew pretty early on” admits British guitarist Chris Buck. “That first moment of being able to replicate what was coming out of my old man’s stereo had a huge effect on me. I knew right then that I wanted to be a musician”.
Fast forward to 2026 and Chris finds himself atop the iTunes and Amazon album charts with his new band Cardinal Black’s debut album, January Came Close, having been voted ‘Best New Guitarist’, ‘Best Blues Guitarist’ and ‘Best Pop Guitarist’ in successive years by the readers of Guitarist Magazine.
