I'm 64 and I never saw guitar mastery like this......not even close. Roy Buchanan was making it look so easy. On stage he'd be the GOAT today..or had fate landed him in a big band ......he'd of been it. Clapton nor SRV could not play like this in ten lifetimes. This is God given magic. Roy was a Gem. My God ...he can do anything on guitar.
Speed, pinch harmonics, chicken pickin', soul melting volume swells, picking a note bent at tone and bringing it down like the kids would do with a whammy bar, come on, the man was light years ahead of his time and s.r.v.'s imagine what blues would sound like today if Buchanan, Gallagher, and srv were still alive, which barring their tragic deaths they would be.
quarrydawg Man oh Man you picked a nice threesome there (same three I favor too). Yeah Rory G. was little known in the USA but boy with Roy and Rory you didn't listen to the blues, more like you felt every note was from your soul when they played. These guys and BB King showed me where my heart and soul belonged as far as what I fell in love with as a musical happy place. Roy had his demons, they all did, but for all these sad endings well sad bthough they may be doesn't the sadness make the blues they all left us a small bit better and bluesier.
There's guitar pickers and there are masters and then there's Roy. He's up there in a that rarified air where only a very few reside. I also liked the fact that he shopped at Good Will. I once owned a coat just like his pants that I bought a a small Good Will shop in Lawton Okla. Every now and then on a Saturday nite when I really wanted to look my best I would put it on. Man, a plaid coat or pants, that really throws the local hipsters.
We miss you roy ...Thank God we can still just catch a tune and be happy listening to you when we need happiness .. you are my go to comfit mudic .. my cheer me up when i feel like shit music ... always thank for heving soul and emotion ... your music gives it back to me and recharges my batteries when i need it ...

Yeah I was slinging music. The Grammys came along and I think the 10 great you name the handful gave all their Grammys to him. He influenced so many gave so much green Malaysia.
Plaid polyester double knit slacks. Very cool in the day_ ugh 70's. One of the greatest if not the greatest guitarists; at least in the sense of tone and outre gimmickry, but a sartorial disaster none the less. Roy was definitely a one off masterpiece. The likes of which left this world too soon, never to be repeated or seen again.
if anybody can get more out of a simple telecaster guitar and amp I haven't heard it yet ! Danny Gatton and mr. ROY Buchanan the best of telecaster players so far ! But that is only my old geezer opinion of course !
oh shit!!! god bless you man!! this is unique!! It hasn´t been shown on youtube before!! thank you a lot!! there is not too much material on video about that period of roy´s career! thank you!!!
seen him in NZ .. auckland town hall.. was in my early 20s ... must been about 86/7 ... Roy and SRV best concerts ever been too... and ive seen them all .. worked security for alot as well ...
@@gregoryhenry5259 yeah was abt a yr before he died .. blew ne away cause i realised how lucky i was to see him .. what a waste of great talent .. RIP Roy Buchanan..
thank you so ver much!!! I really appreciate .. as you can see, there is not too much material from roy at his peak, at least in video... everything from roy is welcome, but if you could upload more from his seventies it would mean a lot to me and roy´s fans.. again, thank you very much indeed!!!
Anyone know what might have happened to that 52 did they bury Roy with it somewhere? Maybe it's time to take a trip down to the graveyard if ya know what I mean!
@3:30 he does with the volume what JHendrix liked and made the whaa pedal to do it. Roy is more remembered for this song, it is like a biography for him... The train always leaves Buchanan behind.
GATTON WAS A GREAT ONE TOO BUT I NEVER REALLY CARED FOR ALL THAT MUCH HE DID - SOME OF HIS BLUEGRASS STUFF WAS OUTSTANDING -- HE JUST OBSESSED WITH BEING THE FASTEST EVER - AND HE MAY HAVE BEEN -- BUT I LIKE ROYS MUSIC BETTER
Bending notes for sure but I've read where Roy also customized things like his speakers. They say he would often take a razor blade to his speakers to create distortion. He also created new ways to use the knobs on the telecaster. If interested you can research it on google.
But basically practice, experimentation, talent and skill. One of the best and truly creative musicians of our time and a true gentleman. And remained for the most part untouched by commercialism. A true artist and master of his craft. Peace Roy.
He was essentially as evolutionary on the telecaster as Hendrix was on the Stratocaster... Mark Raz...dude...this may not be your cup of tea but you are probably making the same comments on Miles Davis clips...and maybe even Duane Allman....you need to go have a nap...
Mr.Raz just may not have an ear for this. Bending notes creates new notes between notes. Some western ears have a problem picking it up. It creates a whole new, to them, harmony. Much eastern music is the same way. There is a huge difference in being out of tune and just creating a new and different note be it major or minor. Being tone deaf is more than just being out of tune some are just deaf to certain tones.. Do-Ra-Me-Fa-So-La-te-Do. then there's Do.1-Ra.1-Me.1-Fa.1-So.1-La.1-Te.1-Do.1 and so on if you have the skill. Producing many different new harmonies. If we have the ear to hear. Thank God for diversity. It makes life and music so much more beautiful and complex. But for the others Mary Had A Little Lamb has a nice standard tone.
I'm 64 and I never saw guitar mastery like this......not even close. Roy Buchanan was making it look so easy. On stage he'd be the GOAT today..or had fate landed him in a big band ......he'd of been it. Clapton nor SRV could not play like this in ten lifetimes. This is God given magic. Roy was a Gem.

well said sir ! well said
Uh, he was the GOAT then. /:-)
He is the only one that sends shivers down my spine 😢😮😮❤❤❤ it's tragic how he died

it's easy to imagine , a lot of guys with a guitar would be unemployed

@@davidsavage8333 I prefer Jimmy Lee to Stevie Ray, add Duane Allman & Johnny Winter in the mix, and Freddie King & Bugs Henderson
Since everyone seems to be giving their opinion, I'll just say I like em all.
Brother u just named my trifecta hahahaha. Very true though those guys are legends.
Calm on the surface, this man is a volcano inside!
I was fortunate enough to see Roy Buchanan play a couple of times. Certainly one of the greatest to ever pick up a guitar. Thank you Brother
Just a man and his guitar - changed my ears forever
I’m just now discovering him. Completely awesome.
The greatest unknown guitar player of them all
Nah I'd say Rory Gallagher. That man truly needs to be consistently considered the greatest ever, taking Hendrix's place.
The Master of the Telecaster!
Sorry for Albert....but its true ROY WAS THE MASTER OF THE TELECASTER ‼️
For ever and ever‼️ 👁
It sounds better when you say "The telecaster master"
Yep
Yes...the master!!!!
Often imitated ,but never duplicated !! rest Easy Roy , gbnf
Один из величайших гитаристов!И самый скромный.Вечная память!

I saw him in Chicago in the seventies. He was awesome.
I saw him there and then too. Was it at Park East?
You got to be 67 or 70 years old
Man that crystal meth is really making Roy's jaw Groove
His guitar is crying what he is feeling inside. Wonderful blues.
The following guitarist were stunned by Roy:
Jeff Beck
Eric Clapton
Jerry Garcia
Is that good enough for you naysayers

such clean notes, without any effort. a true master guitar player, one of a kind...
So true.
The Master of the Telecaster. He was an amazing talent
After listening to part 2 live it's fair to say that Roy had the blues!
I forgot that I listened to this part previously, this is from the dark side!
if anybody can get more out of a simple telecaster guitar and amp I haven't heard it yet !
Danny Gatton and mr. ROY Buchanan the best of telecaster players so far ! But that is only my old geezer opinion of course !
Albert Collins was quite the Tele man
Yep
@@VBForbes "ice pickin'"

Despite dressing for success, Roy's guitar still cried.
Saw Roy many times..first in 78...Last time in 85..RIP

a pleasure to watch a great guitarist, no frills, just excellent playing,
this is just amazing.......
When you gotta talk about blues, Roy Buchanan and Michael Bloomfield are the firsts white guys
Gustavo Rrdriguez Peter green&Rory Gallagher too.

They are the first "two guys"!

Why do we always seem to lose the best !!
Glad I got to see him,saw him 3 times,at Club Bene in Sayerville,NJ & a tiny club in Asbury Park called the Deck House, all were great shows

So influential IMHO, His 'Squealers' steel licks, BF Gibbons,Crazy JJ Beck,Van Hagar
Bad maama jaama
Genius!!!
Awesome post! thank you
Waited YEARS to see this,thanks for the post!
still love it!!
Merveilleux musicien
To watch him make these sounds I always ask "how".
Гитарист от Бога !!!
7:00 mark, lol...that drum stick....looks like Roy's using it! 😅🤣
Yeah, fun stuff! Thanks for the quick link to that part. Hit that guitar bro.
great vid, many thanks from England for posting this
Géant grand plaisir à écouter
sooooo good!
Yessss
Wow!
I just uploaded one more song from that show, I wish I had more!
is there any possibility you uplod the whole set?
blues------nuf' said
I found out about you through a friend YOUR GREAT
Jeff Beck had a similar picking style...Although Roy's style was more expressive...But both were always respectively at the top of their game.
Feeling its all about feeling , sorry guitar techi's if it sounds out of tune ! Sounds just fine with me love the pants that's bold ;)
Vedder goot.!!
R.I.P. Roy.
It's like Steven Wright singing blues
Fuck yes! Rip
I think he got his guitar tuned down by the river, on a full moon-night.
AMEN!!
Anyone know what might have happened to that 52 did they bury Roy with it somewhere? Maybe it's time to take a trip down to the graveyard if ya know what I mean!
The real deal

The train always leaves Buchanan behind.
8:39 More Fret pls!!
OK you got me lol what key should he be playing in??? mark raz dude you are embarrassing your self!! lol
"Dont feed the trolls!!"
Roy was a great talent, but where did he buy his pants?
can someone upload this complete tv show?
Fuhhhukanahhh!!!
all gone now

Что за пятьсот доллора гитару в кредит брал ,или в прокат .
Японские СМИ сейчас вычисляют 🤟
👁El ojo
Roy paid with his trousers by check.
does the song have a name or is just part of the great infamy that is buchanan
Jacob Coyle it's called "Roys Blues"
GATTON WAS A GREAT ONE TOO BUT I NEVER REALLY CARED FOR ALL THAT MUCH HE DID - SOME OF HIS BLUEGRASS STUFF WAS OUTSTANDING -- HE JUST OBSESSED WITH BEING THE FASTEST EVER - AND HE MAY HAVE BEEN -- BUT I LIKE ROYS MUSIC BETTER
What year was this?
This is the guy that play more creative than Jeff Beck and more technical beast than Eric Johnson.
And then there's Rory Gallagher
can someone tell me how he got those sounds?
Bending notes for sure but I've read where Roy also customized things like his speakers. They say he would often take a razor blade to his speakers to create distortion. He also created new ways to use the knobs on the telecaster. If interested you can research it on google.
By being Roy Buchanan!
But basically practice, experimentation, talent and skill. One of the best and truly creative musicians of our time and a true gentleman. And remained for the most part untouched by commercialism. A true artist and master of his craft. Peace Roy.
A lot of it was him rolling his volume knob as well as bending his strings really soft and up as far as he could he used a very light gauge strings.
He uses PFM........pure fuc.... magic!
He's one bad mother
chicken pickin
He was essentially as evolutionary on the telecaster as Hendrix was on the Stratocaster...
Mark Raz...dude...this may not be your cup of tea but you are probably making the same comments on Miles Davis clips...and maybe even Duane Allman....you need to go have a nap...

Thank God for diversity. It makes life and music so much more beautiful and complex. But for the others Mary Had A Little Lamb has a nice standard tone.
I'd say Rory Gallagher with his strat is a better comparison because neither Roy or Rory needed pedals unlike Hendrix.
his vocals are in a different key than the music
so bad
roys ok....no where near a stevie ray though.....come on....
And SRV wasn't as good as Eddie or Warren Haynes. It's all relative
and Hendrix and Jimmy Page were the best. Its an echelon thing
Jimmy Page was the best? Are you serious?
is this a joke? he plays out of key??
he bends out of tune bro
It's like Steven Wright singing blues
