LeRoy Buchanan
The best guitarist in our milky way,
Rest In Peace king of kings.
I saw him 3 times- he was like a panther on stage- he wanted the crowd to be transfixed and he got it. Piercing tone that made your eyes vibrate.
I was blessed to see him a dozen times before he was murdered in his jail cell in Pawtucket Rhode in 1988. Loved the fact he preferred to play small venues.
Saw Roy Buchanan come out on stage in 1972 in Philly with his guitar and an old brown amp, no band. I think warming up for Clapton. He killed it, and it changed my life.
IMHO, Roy was one of the four greatest rock/blues guitarists ever; Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn,
Rory Gallagher, and Roy Buchanan.
you just like Rory cause you have the same name. Kidding.
Yes Sir, as a guitar player friend once said of Roy, " There are talented players and the gifted, Roy was gifted. "
Love your list but I would make it the 5 greatest and throw in Alvin Lee... :-)
Rory is one of my all time favorites. Loved him! First saw him open for Foghat after his Against the Grain album came out. Totally blew me away.
Gary Moore ? ?
One of my favorite guitarists...had his own voice. Met him in '79 once after a show at a small bar in Boston. He was outside the club leaning against a doorway having a smoke as rain was pouring down. I just went up to him and told him he was great...he thanked me with that shy smile of his. I will never forget that...saw him live a couple times after that...never had the same band. But always seemed so solitary...genius' often are.
Cool! Yeah it's a common thread.
SAM SMITH, wonderful memory. It's the Tele for me.
@Dr. Hannibal Lester 1971 pbs special ... titled .. " the worlds greatest unknown guitarist " ... well worth the watch .. you wont be disapointed ...
@Dr. Hannibal Lester But his wife was on his ass all of the time. Because he cared less about being a rock star and wealthy.
Thank you! The world’s most underrated guitarist. Guitar, cable, amp, a hundred different sounds.
Amen!
Check out Danny Gatton roys freind
881 THUMBS UP AND 22 THUMBS DOWN THE 22 MUST BE JUSTIN BIEBER FANS THAT HAVE NO TASTE IN MUSIC ROY IS IN THE TOP TWENTY OF ALL TIME JUST ASK ANY MASTER GUITAR PLAYER
Yes sir and let's not forget Lonnie Mack! Thanks FIL. Rock
Amazing how many ‘worlds most underrated guitar player’ there are on this channel! Roy was never underrated.
In a relatively short period of time I saw him many times and his work was jaw-dropping and at every venue he played at I was able to stand or sit within a handshake distance away. He really was one of a kind
Saw Roy like 5x in the 70’s, I used to call him caterpillar fingers, he was and always will be a tremendous guitarist 🎸 R.I.P. Roy Buchanan
Roy had the uncanny ability to go from a weeping guitar through melodic joy to a convoluted migraine then into a bluesy stillness. No one like him.
My God, Mr. Phil. EVERY time I hear Roy, I'm gobsmacked. This man was a wizard.
Roy was an exemplary musician! The first face that comes to mind when I see a telecaster. His tone was so beyond amazing. Sweet Dreams, Pete's Blues, Roy's Bluz, The Messiah Will Come Again, That's What I Am Here For, Cajun, Chicago Smokeshop, Soul Dressing, etc. So many great songs, his self titled album and the Live Stock record are my favorites. I discovered him and Rory Gallagher around the same time, an orgasmic revelation to say the least. You rock for giving him some shine, Fil.
No problem!
Roy Buchanan, you deserve way more recognition! Thank you for highlighting this TELECASTER guru. There is no Guitarist like Roy before him or ever since. What a big crime it is that he wasn't given the recognition for his huge talent. RIP Roy. You will never be forgotten.
Amen.
Living proof that the Telecaster has everything you will ever need ! ( if you know how to properly use it ). Roy Buchanon was the undisputed master of the Telecaster !Sadly missed , and not fully appreciated in his own lifetime !
Amen!
Danny Gatton was close with Roy and they called him the master of the Telecaster . Both were as good as anyone you ever heard It was basically what style you enjoyed more with those 2 Artists .Both had insane speed !
yeah, the Telecaster is THE guitar to play, if youre good on that one, you are real good
incredible tone. does anybody know what amp hes using?
Fender Vibrolux I think. Listen to his tone on Live Stock, I've never heard a Telecaster sound that good before! It's made me want one now (been a strat guy all my life).
If you notice at the bottom at his feet you will notice he had NO effects pedals, his tone was achieved by his knobs. He rarely used pedals, which you will not catch any performer without today. R.I.P Roy . Thanks Fil. 🤘
No problem! Yeah he just used the guitar and that was enough!
In the '80's he used plenty of effects. He wanted different sounds.
guardduck25 absolutely no effects but Roy's hands
bob733333 True very true
ChefandGuitar InChrist Yup
I saw him in the mid 80s, great show, with all of his famous songs, Down by the River etc. Absolutely flat out the whole time and yet with tons of soul. At one point he was doing something fast and polka-ish in the middle of the fretboard then just took his hands away and the music kept going. It took most of us many seconds to realise the bassist had taken over some time earlier and was more or less shredding at the top end of his instrument, in a way that really shouldn't have been possible. Pure joy...
Haha awesome!
Great series, I really like your concept! The one on Let there be Rock is brilliant. A couple of things that might be fun to analyse: Rory Gallagher live gets close to AY for being mad and still playing accurately (e.g. ruclips.net/video/CL80jFkLzQ0/видео.html); and this one of John Scofield is full of serious grooves and wicked teamwork - ruclips.net/video/0KeYU8xG-ek/видео.html
I was lucky enough to see him back up Johnny Winter in Chicago in 1986. It was amazing. My favorite album is his second.
Awesome!
I was at that show as well ,it was truly amazing !!!! He had the whole Aragon ballroom in a trance, I was there for Johnny Winter ,and became a huge Roy fan that wonderful day .The Johnny Winter show was great too , Lonnie Mack was also on the bill , I will never forget how Roy just camanded the stage
LUV LUV LUV ROY! 2nd album is a great one, 1st one, too...but "Live Stock" will ALWAYS be my favorite!!
@@billythekid5258 SIM! 1975
Thanks for putting Roy out there for more people to hear & see. He always looked to me like a truck driver, construction worker, or as you say your fav uncle, not like an awesome guitar player. I understand his mom was a music teacher and he left home at a young age travelling around the USA learning from guitar players in New Orleans, LA studio players & country players, etc. He really deserves more recognition, I hope people who see this video check out more of his playing. He passed away in 1988, RIP, Roy.
Yeah if even one person sees him from this video it's worth it!
Amazing player with talent beyond belief !!!!! RIP Roy legends don't die they live forever!!!!!!
@@wingsofpegasus yeah me😀
Great post
I didnt know great guitarists were supposed to look a certain way... .
You've got a good ear my friend, I thought the world forgot Ol' Roy. Every guitar player HAS to listen to Roy Buchanan. Old school, kick ass playin'! Thanks for the vids Bro, digging them!
Thanks James! Yeah Roy was awesome!
I think Jeff Beck is one of the few who still does the knob technique like that. But wow, what a blistering performance. There's just something about seeing someone shredding on a tele that makes my heart swell,lol. Excellent video!!! \m/
Yeah it's a huge part of his playing.
J bolo....re:jeff beck using technique....I read an excerpt by Jeff wherein he was on trip in NY and turned on the tele in the morning....watched a PBS special..probably this very show Roy played just one of his various (and naturally different) versiin of Hey Joe.
Beck said he was simply stunned and said "who is this guy? My whole life I've been trying to do (then he refers to a musical guitar technique) and have trouble w it but this guy does it at will"(sic)....
Later Roy composes a song My Friend Jeff..saying hello across. "the pond"...
And Jeff did we ended as lover's to Roy@@rycooder9486
The Greatest unknown guitarist! Ever seen that old video? RIP Roy!
Amen!
That concert was at George town university. I was a volunteer part time DJ at WGTB FM and we put the show on. That was when most rock stations were still AM.
I’m 62 & I saw RB at a small night club in the 1980’s,loved his playing.It’s great that younger generations are keeping his music alive,thank you.
Awesome! No problem!
Yep Mr.Buchanan and Mr.Winter don't get much better for Blues n Rock guitar i saw Roy live in 88 or 89 just a month or so before he passed away...what a show...RIP BROTHER
I think he was and is one of the most underrated guitarist.. He just makes me shake my head, wondering how he done it.
Naw, man...he got his due - he was always a legend. '60s guitar masters would flock to see him playing out.
👍
Oh I love Roy Buchanan, such great tone and unique sound.
Yeah he was ahead of his time with some of those moves!
Thanks for making this video. I love Roy's playing and it's too bad there's not a lot of video to watch of Roy playing and also another great musician taken to young.
I almost die every time I hear him. He is just something else....such a humble guy, decades ahead of his time, too good for this world
At the end of the movie ‘The Departed” as Matt Damon was walking to the door…Roy Buchanan’s ’Sweet Dreams’……Martin Scorsese is so genius…..
@@DaddyGabby Good catch:)
I had the pleasure of playing with Roy one night in 1973. He was a huge influence on me. An old tele (with very low output single coils), a Vibrolux 2x10, some tiny jazz picks, no pedals or effects, and he rocked the World.
Awesome!
Thank you Fil, the most underrated guitarist ever. Saw him in a bar late 70's. Did a slide solo with a beer bottle that boggled the mind. Roy is the blues. How about unless I missed it Rory Gallgher Bullfrog Blues or whatever. He's one of my top 5 with Roy. It's refreshing to see a young guy dig the Masters. Thanks again... Rick
No problem Rick!
Sometimes there are no words, just a big ol' smile!
👍
if you never heard Roy Buchanan before i would also recommend giving 'Sweet Dreams' a listen.
Thanks for the suggestion!
Love it, yes!
Check out Danny Gatton
Sweet dreams was one of the three songs my brothers and I chose for our Dad's funeral, an amazing version by Roy
One of the most emotional renditions I ever heard.
@@wingsofpegasus
GREAT analysis. I saw Roy back in Feb 1988 (I believe one of his last shows before he tragically passed away) in Darwin, Australia. I was only about 12 years old at the time, but it blew me away.
Ive never heard of Roy before. He is amazing!
The studio version was ahead of it's time with the echoplex solo Roy was ahead of his time period actually I have a documentary on computer about him and he was a very down to earth guy. Another tragic loss.
Yeah I can't believe he was doing this in the 70's!
Yes, unfortunately, he was another brilliant guitar player who let the drink and drugs get the better of him. The Stones were after him after Mick Taylor left, but, when the call came in, Roy was passed out on H.
Monster of a telecaster player most underrated and unknown guitarist of the 1970s
Roy was one of the rare forces of nature, Roy battled with many demonds and had his biggest impact on other guitarist, a gentle lovely big bear, miss him every day
Check out Roy's version of Sweet Dreams from the same concert...
Thank you, great video. Wow, Roy was a master at his craft. He brought a unique sound. Incredible technique, yet his playing was effortless. He let his guitar do all the talking.! A real guitar virtuoso.! 🎸
Best version of Hey Joe I have ever heard! He made it his own just amazing.
Wonderful comments from so many Roy Buchanan admirers. He is the undiscovered guitarist. RIP
I was lucky enough to get to see him live in the middle 70’s.
Loved him in the 70's. Still have some of his records. All great stuff. I don't think I've heard him do this piece though. He owns it and make's it his. Great video.
Guitar Cadenza !!
That guy tore it up in the most perfect of ways, it's amazing to me.
Yeah he did!
Thirty years after his death and in my opinion still nobody has surpassed the clarity of his tone.
👍
my new fav show keep`em coming.
Thanks Jeff! Will do!
Heavenly music to my ears ..... percise notes .... beautiful tone .... nice tempo with the flushbits restrained but powerful when need be ... the best ... the master ... the greatest by far ...
I know this is years old, but I just discovered your reaction video. This guy was amazing. Just amazing.
one of the most underrated guitar players.
First saw Roy at the Roxy Theatre in Northampton, PA. We were infront of the 1st row on the floor. We smuggled in a couple of cold six packs. During the performance we gave Roy a beer and he was thankful. Absolutely Tremendous.
Love watching your face as you follow the action! Wonderful. Love these vids.
Thanks Larry!
Awesome Video By The Way. I Like That You Really Pay Attention To The Details Of The Guitar Playing, It's Very Professional. Anyway, Thanks For These Awesome Videos!
No problem!
If you can find a 'Rock Concert' video from 1974, you can watch Roy play past the fret-board, between the pickups on his Tele, and actually do a string trio, with his left thumb as the cello, and his first two fingers as the viola and violin. I watched it in awe at the time, and I've never heard him do it again. He had the pitches correct on all three strings, past the fretboard!
Cool!
I saw Roy at a bar in MPLS....simply amazing....I'd love to hear your dissection of a live version of "The Messiah Will Come Again." my favorite Roy tune....I had to get a volume pedal just so I do what Roy does with his finger on the volume knob ....I have a dead tendon on my little finger so I can't do what I want with it.... make the guitar CRY!!
Effortless Shredding.......almost sickening the way he makes it look so easy with his relaxed state of playing. Very impressive.
Amen!
I think you liked that one as much as I did! I couldn't keep a smile off my face either! That guy was great!👍😎🎸🎶
:)
This guy (never heard of him before, thanks) is as cool as ice! I wish I had that kind of "poker face" when I play. Geez....
Yeah, he ain't bothered haha!
roy was fantastic!,,,he killed himself by hanging,,a sad end to a monster guitar player!
joe bloggs it is highly disputed he killed himself. I believe something else happened that caused his death.
your belief and mine
Listen to his Loading Zone album. You'll freak o u t!
Hey Fil, just for watching you wearing that shirt I feel that "That man can be my best friend" feeling. Keep this awesome videos coming!
Haha thanks dude! Will do!
The earliest known version of "Hey Joe" was translated from cave paintings. The location is still up for debate but there's no mistaking the lyric "Hey Grog, where you going with that club in your hand?"
😂👍
It would be so incredibly cool if the raw footage of this concert comes out one day, showing all the playing!
Excellent my friend. Roy kills it. Snuck into a club in my hometown as akid to see him in 78 or so. He covered Manic Depression and Crosstown Traffic if my memory serves me, as well as Purple Haze and Hey Joe. Roy played a strat that night. I thought my memory was wrong, but I saw photos from that show a few years ago and it was a strat indeed. Saw him 10 years later in San Diego with Lonnie Mack.
Here is a new one for you to consider: Glen Cambell covering R.Orbison's "Crying". Great vocal and wonderful strumming technique. Classic. I can't stop watching the vid. Also great guitar playing on "Gentle on my Mind". Thanks for the reviews, I am glad I found you.
Thanks for the suggestion John, I'll check them out!
@@wingsofpegasus i seen stevie ray vaugn borriw an epitone? (bad speller ) and play just as good as usual .. its on u tube ... its from 84? Think ... at mainstreet club .. queenstreet auckland ... at a blues night ... on the same night as his ,srv , concert at the logan cambell centre auckland .. he turned up (he was mates with heaps nz bluesmen back then ) ..i was smoking a j out front when his limo turned up and out he jumped 🎼🎵🎶 cape .. hat ... i offered him a puff too ... but said he was going to play (id just come from his concert so i was in shock too ) went in .. think wilco johnson was on that night too .. but stevie borrowed an epitone and away he went ....... BEASTMODE ...srv twice in one night .... sorry not roy story ... but bortowed guit story ..
Fil...when you are sitting at home bored to Corona....and you are asking yourself..."Self, can you listen to two songs that are polar opposites but played by same artist....first is an emotional song, second is an experinent with SOUNDS that a telecaster can make...and ask yourself how many artist have this ability?
1..Dual Soliloquy
Which one viewer here commented that at 15 he was sitting in the studio during this recording
2) Guitar Cadenza
I know this piece will horify many but I appreciate this ability not to be stale but always try.
SO SO SO BEAUTIFUL ....jimi would be proud .... im glad my good friend (r i p andy (rock)) introduced a 14 yr old in 1977 to the amazing musician we call ... roy buccanan .... 1986 got to see him live .. think seen srevie ray before and after .. but roy brought me to tears .. i was just lost for days after that night .... one them mind blowing nights you want to hapoen agsin ... 34 yrs ago but still like yesterday ....
Awesome. Looks like Austin City Limits. I miss that series. And that’s a young Dan Aykroyd in bass guitar.
Saw him live in 1985 and 1986 at Paradiso Amsterdam. Great great great a was already a fan from a about the early 70s ...thrilld to see him live,,,,greetings again from Utrecht, HOLLAND
Cool!
Thanks Fil. Roy was the first blues first I saw live. It was spring or summer of 1988, just months before he died. He played at a small bar in the Georgetown area of Washington DC. It was an amazing show. Roy blew me away with his playing. You could tell the crowd was full of guitar and blues fans. It was an amazing atmosphere.
Cool!
I was gonna suggest this .... but I happily see you already have ... Jolly Good .. can't wait to view this !!!!
The Good Ol Roy ! Thanx to talk about him ! Keep on rockin' !
Will do!
Phil.....your a true breath of fresh air..watch your videos all the time ..Roy is fairly new to me......my God ...I don't think there's anyone I've seen..I'm 64..... with his level of skill. Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck have always been my favorites..along with Frank Zappa and Roy Clark....but this is Next LEVEL. Please critique Roy Buchanan " When a Guitar Plays the Blues" live. Thank you my friend . You have taught me alot about music. I don't play ..but when I retire I'm getting a guitar an amp and some headphones and teach ( torture ) myself. I LOVE guitar. So soothing and expressive Thank You
Thanks for these vids! A record collecting group I'm a part of mentions names like Roy and Gary Moore and I never heard these guys before or if I did, I didn't know who it was. I'm surprised these guys aren't mentioned all the time along with the greats. Maybe because they weren't "flashy" enough, who knows but so glad to get a chance to see how great these guys really were!
Yeah it's just the way of the world, the spotlight is only ever on a few at the time where some great players go under the radar.
Thank you Fil , brings back some wonderful memories, I saw Roy play live many times.
I saw Roy in a small bar in the Minneapolis area in the mid 70's. We had a table right in front. He was mesmerizing to watch.
Cool!
Wow, where have I been to have missed out Roy at the days......
He mined the Telecaster’s lap guitar heritage, manipulating the instrument’s volume and tone controls with his pinkie to emulate the sound of wailing country steels. He could simulate a phasing effect, palm muting along the strings, and would flip from aching long sustained bends to breakneck-speed blues runs in a split second. The latter is a major element in Joe Bonamassa’s style. Jimmy Page used a ’59 Telecaster on the first Led Zeppelin album. Buchanan fan Jeff Beck pulled squawks, wails and sitar sounds out of his monumentally pimped 50s Tele with The Yardbirds.
im a huge fan of Roy and what can i say of you ,only that thank you for make this for Roy and all the people that doesn't know him ;)
No problem!
Yes I do remember Roy. I was a teenager in the 70s and saw him on TV, I think it was Return Engagement, showcasing mostly rock artist. He played Hey Joe and I was mesmerized. Now nearing my 60s, it is refreshing to see him once again here. Great analysis as well.
I had the good fortune of living in Washington DC during the 70's where Roy played at a local club and other venues that I had seen him at. I once saw him at the Kennedy Center in a opera house. Honestly, there's not enough quality recordings that can match his performances. Literally put chills up my spine. Glad to see he lives on.
Awesome!
Around the same time in the same area we had Danny Gatton. If you get a chance you really should look him up. He was a friend of Roy's and was known as "The Humbler". A true student of guitar history with a mastery of all styles, not my words. His style was once called Redneck Jazz, but he truly didn't fit in any box. He also has many instructional videos for those so inclined. Best wishes.
I decided I had not heard Roy Buchanan in too long so I looked up Hey Joe by him and had a listen. It had been too long. I suppose if most people hear Jimi Hendrix they don't think to themselves I am going to go out and buy a Telecaster and learn Jimi's music. Then I wondered if Fil from Wings of Pegasus has reviewed Roy and sure enough he had and to the same video I had just watched.
Roy is playing his version but his singing style is really not that different from Jimi's. Maybe a little more sedate but still conversational rather then pure singing. I admire how clean Roy's style is.
I remember hearing about his death but especially because it was in my home county of Fairfax Virginia. What a loss. RIP Roy.
Off to listen to more of Roy Buchanan. Sings with his voice and plays with his heart.
Amen!
Saw him at keystone Corners in Palo Alto and i can't remember the other gig. He could play with so much feeling it would fill the club
Awesome!
Roy had an amazing sense of touch and control in his playing.
Unbelievable. Thank you. I didn't know about this guy til now...
No problem!
I find myself watching your videos a lot while I practice. You have great taste when it come to guitar players. Very Varied.
Thanks!
Hey TheLocks...
You should query on youtube "Roy Buchanan instructs" or teaches or sumTing to that effect....you will see Roy sitting on nice comfy couch with the family's nice comfy Fender Telecaster ('53)...and he is showing some one what our friend Phil has pointed out..."the trick to hiding the pick sound etc...then sitting like Gramps he just kills it....whole cascade of notes...including as far down the fret ladder to bridge where his index finger and finger near it do a two finger display of "spider dancing" (according to his bassist).
He ends with "something like that" in his down home manner which would make our host Phil just laugh!
Niceeeee... Roy was a Old School Tele Master... tone, passion, power and emotion. Roy was a absolute mystery for most and way beyond most back in the day.. A True Legend, and above personally the reason I bought my first Tele. What a unsung hero. Little Brother from across the pond I'm so glad to see you digging into the "back pages" of guitar greats and I truly enjoy your videos. God bless Lil Brother
Thanks! Yeah he was doing some stuff on that guitar way ahead of his time!
I didn't discover Roy Buchanan until the night he died.I was totally blown away.
Mr. Guitar Roy Buchanan, THE MASTER. I love you Roy. R.I.P…..💔
His volume swells are awesome, and he made it look so effortless. Before pedals became readily available.
👍
Roy Buchanan was a Guitar Incarnate. He WAS a Guitar in human form.
Van Halen wasn't the only one watching and "borrowing". The Man was born in 1939. An Entire generation of players owe the man! He took himself somewhere along the way...in wee early days, but his playing was as I like to say about only VERY select few: "Other Worldly"! Mr Guitar Incarnate!
Roy Buchanan is ma absolutely favourite guitarist ever, love the stile, have 7 or 8 vynil from him, this DVD i have, is only 30 min long but brillant, thanks Fil
Now I have found Roy on your video list! He and Rory Gallagher are two who made all of their effects with only their guitars and amps! That in itself puts them far above many of the most popular players of today! Now to move on and see if Harvey Mandel is here somewhere!
Roy is something else, shedding machine lighting that fret board up , trying some licks that takes a lot of precision and accuracy that takes unmeasured practices, that is no doubt in a class of guitar player by himself
saw him at Poor David's Pub in Dallas. There are no words to describe what I witnessed
PHILL..............THAT IS THE
PERFECT WORD YOU USED at
5 : 28 into the vid, RIDICULOUS!
Another GREAT GUITARIST and
Another WONDERFUL INSIGHTFUL
VIEW of this Musician. Not only do I DIG the Technical Jargon, it's how
You Balance it out with the PASSION that you can Readily see and hear from you, how do you Britts say it.....SMASHING! LOL,
Anyways Thanks for Posting this Beauty.........your friend in the Middle of the Pacific....🎸💚
No problem!
worked at a saloon in DC during the '70s...when DC Dog (fronted by Jimmy Nalls, so good) played, Roy and 'Nancy' would be there; so wish there were recordings of those sets...just a few of the faces in the crowd Nils Lofgren, Danny Gatton, Mike Stern (premier jazz guitarist)
He was the uncle by marriage of one of my high school best friends when first heard of him.. Never met him. Was sad to hear of his fateful ending. This was about the same time I discovered him, 1975 or 76 about.
used to do this song e minor blues all day long .
thanks for vid never seen Roy Buchanan before he is great .
👍
Great review. I like that a younger musician showing respect, and doing a good job of explaining the techniques, without sounding arrogant. Very cool
Thanks James!
Wow ...trilling on the electric guitar ! A blue grass trick from the mandolin ....it tells you everything about the sublime talent of Mr Roy Buchanan .
My man! (in Denzel Washington's voice) I am usually stoic in life, I am a 44 year old guy, but the first time I heard this, I cried. Great artist, great review. Big thanks to you Fil. ROCK!!
Thanks Denzel! 😆
Have you heard Roy's playing on a song called 'Five String Blues' ? I have never heard anyone achieve such an emotional, yearning expression on guitar.
Just finished watching the whole song from the link- just amazing, he uses very trick in the book. Using a fairly clean tone on a Hendrix song? Wow. And. I love that trick of rolling his pinky on the volume knob on a Tele.
Yeah it's a great version!
Saw Roy many times in Dallas and the 77 Austin City Limits show, great guitarist.
Cool!
Roy Buchanan was clearly underrated and widely ignored - but one of the greatest Tele players.
Yeah I agree!
Never heard this guy before,thanks ,will be checking out some more...
Funny, I commented on your Jeff Beck video and requested you do one on Roy, then this video pops up that you put up last year! This dude has always just flat out amazed me with his awesome technique. Yes underrated, underappreciated - and he just may have preferred it that way. No effects other than reverb - everything else pure technique. I believe if he were still playing today he would still eschew use of pedals and devices, preferring to do it all with his own 2 hands.
