Having stumbled upon the band R.E.M. in high school just about the same time I was teaching myself how to play an old guitar found in the back of a closet in our home only seemed to solidify the connection I instantly had to the band as well as the guitarist. Peter Buck didn't knock you to the floor with guitar solos or licks I couldn't fathom to deliver thru my novice fingers - he implored a subtle, yet uniquely approachable style to the instrument. A style I have been trying emulate for many years.
I started this channel with the hopes of sharing my take on what/how Peter Buck plays his songs. I am probably mostly right, but know I am sometimes wrong - close, but not quite 100%. In these instances I lean on the viewers to set me straight. Enjoy and I look forward to much discussion!
