~ Lee Roy Parnell ~
The stories that this man tells are unequivocally unmatched in subject and delivery. To list his history would take up volumes, but an attempt must be made. Texas born and raised, Lee Roy grew up in a different world from the rest of us. His father, a touring compatriot of Bob Wills, introduced Lee Roy to the guitar and performance at an early age. It wasn't about taking lessons, and going off to study hours of music theory--it was about sneaking into bars to see guitar greats, and finding any way to make it onto their tour bus. It was about performing at school dances and learning whatever you could from whatever records you could find. After some time, Lee Roy packed up his original '56 Les Paul Goldtop and high-tailed it to Austin where he continued to grow as an eclectic songwriter and guitar place. After a stint in New York City Lee Roy ultimately found himself in Nashville where he signed with Arista Records, releasing hit after hit of Deltablues road-house rockin' southern boogie with a country twang for fans around the world. As of late Lee Roy has gotten his foot into the door to the house of music publishing, as well as recently releasing his own signature '56 Goldtop with the Gibson Custom Shop. His list of credentials could continue on for pages and pages, so Lee Roy if you read this please forgive the quick recap of your invaluable life!
Leroy makes playing slide look so easy!
Would be fun to try and learn.
Even at my age!!
Lee Stensrud - You can do it. Start out using an open tuning like D or E and you'll quickly progress.
The most important thing is learning to control your vibrato. Just practice sliding into a note and shake it wide and slow.
I play side guitar 🎸
I play lead guitar
Listen to Sonny Landreth if you want to hear a slide player...
Great technician, probably the best, but absolutely zero feeling in his playing. People who like him are just easily impressed by flashy things.
Mumble,mumble,mumble,mumble..he’s soooooooooooo boring, boring, boring...
Lee Roy has a real, real hard time finding his words...he stumbles so much that it makes the listener very uncomfortable, I can only imagine what the interviewer must feel like...and to be totally honest, I don’t get what all the “Hype” on him is really all about? To me...he’s just a a basic guitar player, nothin really stands out about him, like say a Dickey Betts, He’s got the look, he dresses kool, and has some famous friends but “that’s it” I’ve seen better talented guitar players in my local bars...
I love to listen to Lee Roy! He is very deep and thoroughly investigates his thoughts. He's a country boy!
Of course you will find some great bar band players who lacked the discipline to make it. Lee Roy became a bonafide C&W hitmaker for a few years. He is a very good slide player but I am sure he would tell you he ain't no Derek Trucks
sounds like you are jealous
