- "Hey Joe" from Joe Buchanan's 'Live From Austin TX' performance. Buy it today on Amazon amzn.to/1djXuNE or iTunes smarturl.it/RoyBuchananLFAT.
One of the pioneers of the telecaster sound, he was noted for his use of note bending, volume swells, staccato runs and "pinch" harmonics. He is considered by many to be one of America's most soulful guitar masters, and even 20 years after his death, he maintains an army of devoted fans, including some of rock guitar's greatest (just ask Jeff Beck, Robbie Robertson or Billy Gibbons). This performance, captured on the ACL stage on November 15, 1976, shows Roy Buchanan in his prime at the age of 37. Indeed, it may well be the best high-quality audio/video recording of his complete performance known to exist. - เพลง

One of the best guitarist to be ignored by the main stream.
Don't forget Frank Marino...
@FalconerPhoto nah the Mainstream Just never Heard of him
Jeff Beck could have used more recognition too
Don't forget Danny Gatton
That band is so fuckin tight to
The guy is just calmly standing there killing it! Roy Buchanan and Rory Gallagher are two of the greatest blues players who never became household names.
So laid back. If you see just him without listening to him playing, it's incomprehensible that all this beauty, interpretation, and execution is even happening.
It's like a duck on water, all calm above, fury below.
So so good.
Correct! Great talents!!!!!
Thank you for that post. This blues rock enthusiast agrees 100%
Two of the best examples.
@@myoldmateperfect description!!
A man who sings on guitar & narrates with his voice.
Hes not a talent hes a gifted.
Well said. I like Roy's "talking style" when he's not making the Tele scream and wail.
Just like Glen Gould on the piano.
Roy is the only axe man I known of that can tell you a story, sing you a song, break your heart and take you to church with just a few minutes and a Telecaster.
come on bro. lol
@@Matt-og5kd who sent you?
Damn straight
He played that guitar using every element on the periodic table..
He showed the entire neck some love fr😂
Roy: shreds one of the best live solos for over 3 minutes.
Cameraman: I wonder what the crowd is looking like right now.
🎶👁️👃👁️🎵
Mesmerized
I trust the camera man/director were never allowed to work again
the crowd is in absolute awe
I expected better coverage from ACL.
Roy Buchanan was so underrated, he was a genius on guitar.
Agree
Who underrated him ever?
An absolute shame that more people are not aware of this Michelangelo of the guitar who passed to quietly among us.
@@KaiserBladeunderrated like not well known and as appreciated
@@returnofhesi3900 Oh, I thought you meant underrated, like the dictionary definition.
Holy mother of God... Where have I been all these 37 years I been listening to guitar music? I have never heard before that guy and never herd of him. He is miracle! Top level maestro! And now I am sitting here with my hands all wet and goosebumps all over my body. God bless this day and youtube)
Same here, but I took less time than you - only 15 years lol
haha brother im 25 now, been playing since i was 13. found about this guy 3-4 years ago and i said the same thing. he is absolutely incredible
I saw him play live a few times in Denver, 1974 - 1976. The audience in the small club consisted largely of guitar players; who routinely had to pick their jaws off the floor.
Check out his cover of "Down by the River" if you like this
He died so very young.
for insiders, he used to be "the best unknown guitarist on the planet"
probably still is
The guitarist's guitarist's guitarist.
Well when Jeff Beck says "he's probably the best guitar play that ever lived" that's pretty much good enough for me!!
Beck plays the same making those sounds with his volume control. I can see why he was insipred by him
You know whats Ironic? The other guitar player not mentioned here who is also at the caliber of Roy AND was also Roys roomate for a time is Danny Gatton! Let's not forget him!
i dont know what you´re on about...
i do recall hearing for the first time the Hendrix version of this when i was 15 years old, on my radio, and still get goosebums thinking back to that moment...aliens had landed...
same with Bob Dylans Subterranean Homesick Blues some years earlier.....i did not know what the lyrics meant at the time, (non english speaker) but i felt as if i was on fire.
Later i felt ambivalent , after i knew what the Hey Joe lyrics meant.
CNBC??
Without a single pedal. Buchanan was on another planet in terms of mastering the tone marriage of his guitar and amp(s). Unbelievable ability! Never will be anyone like him.
SB-uf4yw: Absolutely never! Ignored by mainstream, but the most talented and original guitarist I've ever heard in my life!
With enough tube compression, you can nail sounds like these
I think a fender tube combo would nail it
@@GlennJimenez for sure! “Finding” the perfect tone is fun, right!?
“I GUESS YOU GUYS AREN’T READY FOR THAT YET. BUT YOUR KIDS ARE GONNA LOVE IT!”
DoubleE in the Philippines you sir are a man of culture
Hehe back to the future movie line lol but a good one.....
Mc Fly!!
I get the reference and everything but I feel like his playing was meant to melt the crowd, not necessarily make them hyped up. And if his goal was to mesmerize the crowd, then mission fucking accomplished lol
@@andrewsolari Right on
The audience are smiling because he is so damn brilliant.
Is smiling
So calm he just stands there, he could be waiting for a bus but this tsunami of sound comes out of him. Thank you for posting this.
Waiting for a bus..the funniest thing I read all day!
Even Jimi didn't bend the frets to HIS will so succinctly...the Man could play Guitar...Should we crush his sweet hands?
This guy doesn't need to thrash around stage or hump his guitar
@@joeturnermusic2726 no need to rag on Jimi. He was an innovator and a beautiful soul in his own right. Let him rip.
He just knows every point on his guitar...feel , sound and mind
That tone in the “link” between “hey joe” and “foxy lady”….awesome
Something very noticeable about Roy is the fact he had his fingers on fire while his body language was so cool and quiet! God knows how he could manage it. He was (and still) one of the best Telecaster heroes who pushed the limits of the instrument.
His base player once remarked to Roy "Man how can you rage like that but stand like a statue?" Roy replied "because I am raging on the inside."
That's the only way I could manage playing fast and well - had to keep the rest of my body still. No histrionics or showboating, just putting it all into the hands. Got teased a lot for being so boring to look at on stage. I daresay if I'd played a 10th as good as Roy, no one would'a said shite.
When the camera focuses just on his face, he could easily be reading a newspaper
I'm amazed how he can play like that and the only tell that he's focussed up is his corner lip twitches
Roy is the best to touch a telecaster. I mean I guess it’s up for debate but I’m still waiting for a valid argument
Cel mai bun cantec prin care se exprima instrumental durerea sufleteasca, furia,lupta interioara ,alegerea, regretul, pacea si apoi succesul . ...cel putin eu asa simt piesa asta ... mai simte cineva acelasi lucru?
One of the GREATEST. Why he was so unknown is beyond me.
Please..come to visit my rock music channel.
Well, what about the Unknown Hinson. He was unknown because that was his father's name from his birth certificate.
He was too busy playing his music vs playing the industry game.
HOW HE GAVE NO FUCKS ALWAYS AMAZED ME
LMAO.. Even back then...
@Trashcan Troubadour He let Nancy do the singing.
@Trashcan Troubadour When you can play like that it is.
lmao best comment -thanks 🙏
One of the most underrated guitarists ever.
It gets said about a lot of guitarists, but Roy has to be the most underrated player ever. I saw him in Phoenix in '79. I was blown away,
Do you remember the venue? I saw Roy twice in the Phx area in the 70's. I believe one was at Big Surf.
Sadly there is no record of his AZ concerts anywhere online that I can find.
@@GorgeousRoddyChrome I don't. I haven't been to Phoenix much since then. It was actually a big nightclub in Scottsdale. I think it had a revolving stage in the center of the club. I don't know if that helps.
@@Jimi_Lee
That venue sounds like Celebrity Theatre.
My memory isn't clear about the years & venues I saw him, but i do recall my response to his playing being the same as you: blown away.
Thanks!
Master of the telecaster. No pedals no gimmicks straight through a Twin. Wonderful. Thanks Roy. RIP
i think he used vibrolux
You must have never heard of albert collins or rory gallagher
master of the telecaster: Albert Collins
He is a master of tele ✌️
Keef also is a tele straight into his amp...
Saw him live. Took my breath away. No gimmicks-- just pure genius--what a thrill. So direct--no bullshit---the purist guitarist I have ever seen.
Did you ever see Rory Gallagher? I'm too young to have seen any of the greats live (at least in their prime) but from my TH-cam watching experience Rory has unmatched energy and stage presence.
This is pretty insane.. My first video Ive seen of this guy
Are you a product of the DC area by any chance? Had the pleasure of enjoying its incredible 1980s blues gumbo that featured Roy as a prime ingredient...
@@istdochallesegal3427 I saw him in the late 70's when I was a student at Georgetown. Danny Gatton too at Desperado's on M St.
@@theherbpufferso many good guitarists out there. A hand full of greats. But there is only one rory gallaher. So glad you found him. I'm really beginning to like Roy as well and will be checking out more of his talent.
Very 1976 recording.... the gear, the players, the audience, the ambiance. Roy Buchanan certainly had a signature style. Killer guitarist.
His muted harmonic picking is so expressive. A plethora of sound. Adds another dimension to the notes and the overall sound texture
My Telecaster doesn't sound like this. Have to return it.
Buy yourself a router,then you can put a Floyd and EMGs in it.
1953 Fender Telecaster. With Joe Barden hi gain pickups. About $75,000+
joynthis
Yeah same here-Lol
God knows your guitar will NEVER sound like this! I really appreciate your humor though. Keep it coming.
What an Honorable statement.... Hats off to you......
Roy achieved miracles. Just the man, his pick, the Telecaster, and the strings.
the greatest guitar player in rock and roll history the MAN who said NO to the rolling stones best of the best masterclass rip roy miss you
Rory Gallagher also turned down the stones
@@theherbpuffer Υes its true.Stones is a great band but i think roy and rory knew what they were doing!
I kind of wish he joined The Rolling Stones so he could’ve gotten more recognition for his playing
My brother, who fancies himself as somewhat of a music afficionado, never heard of Roy Buchanan. As he listened to this version, his jaw literally dropped. No further words were said.
He was from the 70s
This is the best guitar player I ever heard...and I'm quite old.
Fair play big comment to make I had heard hendrix Gary Moore and others learned a lot about volume control from him
i was actually there that day.. its so cool to see my self and my good buddies again.
we were pretty stoned
Are you in the crowd? I (30 year-old South African musician) got here down a Tele rabbit hole and found myself crushing on the guy in the middle bottom at 05:14. Got me thinking all deeply about life and time and all that stuff
No pedals or gimmicks pure TALENT, a genius use of fingers and volume control. Never been anyone to touch him.
You act like pedals are a bad thing 🤣
Roy was one of the best ever! I saw him in the early 70s and was just blown away and became an instant fan. His work noticed by Jeff Beck himself who placed him on the highest pedestal unfortunately never got out to the masses. One of the purely best of all time. There is an awful lot of his work out there to be discovered if anybody wants to find it.
Yeah Roy along with Rory Gallagher back when I was growing up in the early 70's this was going on and I missed out.
Freaking fantastic bluesy baby!!!!!!
Roy, you freaking rock it out!!!!!!!!!
I love Rory Gallagher, but Roy was out there on a place all his own.
I’m definitely on that path today!!
Unbelievably wonderful playing. The man stands there like a block of stone and a waterfall of sound flows from him!!
Beautifully put!
Brilant
Loved blues and classic rock for over 30 years and play guitar. Why is today the first time I've heard this amazing artist play? 🤯
Because you never saw the rounder records catalog from the 1980's😅.
There is a pbs special on him I think.
Same here!! Better late than never!!😊
The audience is just as mesmerized as I am! Roy is a phenomenal guitar player!
Sounds like a combo of Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, and Stevie Ray Vaughan. A very underrated guitarist! I'd forgotten all about him.
That's so correct! I feel the same. His tone is exactly like Clapton's in the 90s.
After Cream, EC wanted to join the Band since he admired Robbie so much. And Robbie got tips from Roy!
Better then EC, and doing it on a Telecaster
Jeff Beck often sited RB as and influence and inspiration - enough said.
No one of the above mentioned comes even close. He stands up there with the greatest, Hendrix, B.B., Albert King, Elmore James.
I stumbled into this youtube video today.
Never heard of the man before.
Incredible gitarist.
Better late than never.
I appreciate the way the audience watches so intently.
"Behind every beautiful thing there's been some kind of pain"
I get that but you don't have to die to put out beautiful work. I wish that he would of got some help.
@@waynebrown1394 I agree. Very saddened to hear his story.
A hidden talent the world missed out on
A true talent
About 30 years ago I had a tenant skip out without paying me all his back rent. Among his meager belongings he had a small stack of vinyl lps. one of them was Roy's "Loading dock". to this day, I still look at that as a fair trade. I never got any of the money from him, but he did inadvertently introduce me to this amazing guitarist. :-)
Maybe it was meant to be
You won that battle!
It was a fair deal. What you got was really worth it.
Haha, what a great story.
Yeah that vinyl is prob worth more than the back rent right now. Hope you saved that if only just to keep and chill out to ha!
The look of shock in the crowd at 2:40 is awesome. It's like they have been hypnotized by Roy.
1:56 so unexpected. Just when I found myself drifting slightly from the sound of his guitar that odd little Chinese riff brought me right back. What a genius place to play it
Tsunami of sound.
Like that.
1:53 Back up a few seconds. Actually, the keyboard player threw it in and he answered.
Exactly what Junior Brown played in Hong Kong Blues.
Why have I just discovered this man today? He’s a force to be reckoned with, his tone his gift of fluidity and passionate arsenal of technique and style is ridiculously incredible. I am floored at this man’s gifts.
That’s me- 8 days later!
He’s most likely my favorite guitarist. Sure there are more technical guys, but Roy was channeling something from the depths. Just something so emotionally precise about his playing
Dear Mother of GOD!!!! This just keeps getting better over the years.....the crowd's minds are beyond blown away. Such a polite gang they were. Trips me out all of the talent that has just vanished....
Some of the best Tele tone I've ever heard! Roy was the Master of all masters.
oh my god, he freaking rocks my brain man!!!!!!!
Roy's voice on this is so right for the words - that tone of disinterest from a bystander to something truly hideous. So much dramatic power in Mr Buchanan's delivery, words and music. My guiding light.
Your watching the technique on a telecaster by a master guitarist. I will never forget him and never have. Thank you for posting this video.
Saw Roy play way back in the seventies in Adelaide, Australia. I'll never forget that concert, apart from the fact that it was my very first ever concert, Roy just blew that little back room at The Tivoli apart! It was just him, the bassist and drummer, but man it was a BIG sound! RIP Roy.
Growing up in the 70’s there were 2 guitarists who stood out, Buchanan and McLoughlin. Sublime.
Are you talking about Howard McLaughlin?😺
Some say Jimi Hendrix was OK.
@@user-bn2uw4bx9p I imagine he means John McLaughlin.
00:18 - 00:34 has to be the most gorgeous guitar tone I have ever heard..and I've listened to some guitar in my time....what a player..
it’s absolutely gorgeous and the breakdown at 2:50 is insane
No one ever, ever made a Telecaster sound that sweet.
on the 18th of september 1983, i was laying on my bed in a hotel room in Dijon, France, listening to a radio ... it was the anniversary of the passing of Jimi... and I as a fitting hommage thought of Hey Joe by Roy Buchanan and guess what It popped out of the radio...unbelievable...
I believe it! Today 1-22-2024 have felt like it’s been Devine Intervention Music Day! It comes around every two to three years!! And it is DEVINE!!
Roy was one of my favorite musicians. I saw him about 15 times. Even have him sign a Mets schedule from 1979. Still love Roys Bluz from Livestock more than any song.
Never heard anything from this guy till now and after hearing this I would put him up there with Hendrix and Clapton. Rock On my Brother
Clapton used to go to a small Washington club he was playing before getting a little recognition in the early 70's. Unsung master but a player's player. Played on early R&R records and worked with Dale Hawkins (Suzie-Q). Told a story of how they used razor blades on the speakers to get early distortion - in the 50's, about a decade before Dave Davies (Kinks) who many think was the first to do so. He got it from guys like Roy.
For my money, Beck then Page then Clapton ... each to his own.
@@dougporter2356 Rory Gallagher over everyone
He’s better than Hendrix buddy. Let alone Clapton
Just pointing you to Gary Lucas solo stuff very awesome too
My top five guitarists ever. His soul comes through the amp.
Im astounded by his talent . Im 63 and have never heard of him. Just got 3 of his best cds today from ebay and cant quit playing them.
Roy Buchanan could really captivate his audience ... 2:36 is proof of that. When I was a young lad, I bought a few Roy Buchanan albums, and when my mother saw his face, she said what a nice looking man he was. My mother's name was the name that was given to Roy's Telecaster. An eerie feeling now that I think about it.
Thanks to some guy who mentioned Roy on Jeff Beck video I just discovered this gem. How the hell all this time I have been listening to rock music and never heard of him is beyond me. Well at least I get the pleasure to hearing some good songs for the first time
I'm glad you discovered him. Isn't he something else? Talk about tone in your fingers. Pedal free virtuosity. Don't get me wrong, I"m a bassist who loves pedals, a new obsession for me. Be the way, great name Mr. Beefheart. One of the most memorable shows I've ever seen was the Captain and his band way back in the mid to late Seventies. It was incredible. It was at San Diego State and filled with rabid Captain Beefheart fans. The band came out first playing some angular Tropical Hot Dog style tune, and when the Captain strolled out ever so cool, the place went mad with unhinged delight.
My discovery of Roy is today 1-22-2024 and I’m in disbelief that I never heard of him until now!!
Saw him a few days in a small Nashville venue before he left us. GENIUS!
I am 58 years old, saw him twice on stage in Amsterdam 1985 and 1986. I am a fan since 1973, i was 14 years young at that time. Still got the originals lp´s from the early seventies
Roy Buchanan was one of my favorite players when I was teaching myself guitar 50 years ago. This man was an incredible talent but he had some inner demons he just couldn’t tame.
This guy was left off Rolling Stones top 100 guitarists...but guys like Bruce Springsteen & Joan Baez were on there. What a joke.
My understanding was that the RS top 100 lists are more about the most influential, trying to take an objective approach in their rankings which is why they rank Sgt Pepper as 'the greatest' album of all time. Greatest is a ridiculous concept, they're all great, the same goes for their guitarist list. Which is probably why they left of loads of great jazz players, I mean hell Django's not on the list! But anyway, I guess they're rankings reflect influence and I guess they decided Mr Springsteen to be more 'influential' whatever that means? He's got nicely composed and orchestrated solos but yeah nothing on Roy in terms of chops but as I was saying its more influence which is why Mike Bloomfield and Steve Cropper are there, not the most technical but influential. That was my take anyway
@@michaelturner4755 Fair enough- I guess I was just assuming it was based on pure talent, in which case Mr. Buchanan got snubbed big time.
Chiraff3143
Yes it's so totally insulting
By that logic, I'm better than Bruce on guitar but I don't give a shit that I wasn't placed. 100 guitarists out of the _world_ - they're not going to please everyone.
Bruce is there for a reason, but I totaly agree that Roy had his place on the list, way up in top 50. I am sure that was just sad overlook...this guy was major influence on Jeff Beck and many others. Most of the stuff Jeff Beck does was done by Roy and Jeff said he was "the guy" ;)
One of the best tones I've ever heard from a Tele....
The first time I listened to this song was something of an other-worldly experience. I was sat at a beach by myself. Had packed up my camping gear for the day ready to move on. But I paused on my way. Sat down in the sand, looking out in the horizon this song came on. And for sure I was in a special mood already; when the track started I felt like I was there, in the room with the people on the recording. I heard people clapping and whispering beside me, the collective excitement being expressed and still building as Roy took the first tones. I felt tears rolling down my chins and I melted together with existence. I felt myself fully. All was possible but nothing I could do could add to the experience I was already having, it was utterly abundant. As he continued to play I felt like ocean waves of rainbows washed through my body. Showing me the beauty of the marriage of myself and the music as we danced. I bowed to the universe and felt my whole body starting to pulse with love from the deep. It was all ok. All ok. Symbols started to appear in front of my eyes, a triangle with the number 17 stuck out as the most important one. I didn’t know just what was happening but I tell you it felt good. Thank you Roy. Reading what I wrote I realise it’s not that far fetched to think I was on drugs, but I was completely sober amazingly enough.
My god you penned it perfectly and poetically! I in my own way feel that way today with this man! I had a similar experience that you described being near the ocean and discovering JJ Cale!! To this day I recall that day every time I listen to him!! Today I’m on my patio discovering Roy while I drink coffee with my mom and watching the rain come down ever so softly and melodically!! What a combination! Roy will forever take me back to this day with my mom long after she’s gone!❤
I love how the universe works!!
My god! the best Hey Joe cover I heard until now! ... With a such humility!
I bought one of his albums and it occurred to me this guy is up there with THE best. You can't play better than that. Geez....
Or the rest is up there with Roy!
I saw Roy play at a bar in upstate New York when I was in college. The stage had a dancing pit just in front of it with stairs leading up to the tables. I stood on the stairs, only 20 feet from Roy and watched him play amazing guitar all night long.
Can’t stop listening to this the last few days. Always knew of Roy but lately just especially blown away at how much he really stands out
This Man is feeling this song. This song has the sadness, the madness and is a whirlwind of emotions. Outstanding!
I just loss my brother at 59 years old.This for some reason gives me calm.TY
Was lucky to see this legend many years ago in Melbourne and have never forgotten it.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This man performed miracles with his guitar. Been a fan for years.
some of the greatest guitar playing we will ever hear. I've listened to Roy's version for 40 years and still haven't heard anything as good. A master in every sense of the word. What a shame he died so young.
been playing 25 years and this is the most beautiful electric guitar palying I ever heard
Found Roy in 74 . At a hole in the wall record store. Spotted the “ Live” album, a picture of a butcher shop somewhere “ Buchanons meats” or something similar. Down by the river , Hey Joe , and Roy’s blues. I never looked back. Jeff Beck was a disciple of Roy.
There was a PBS special on him in 71 or so where he was introduced by Jerry Garcia
There is an ominous quality to this song, and Roy, in his understated way, gives it room to breathe. Superb guitar work -- a real master. No stage antics. Just a small smile on his face, which comes and goes.
Brought a tear to my eye. God he was just fantastic .
Amazing player. Lucky to see him on several occasions in San Francisco. Winterland Arena. Always different in his emotional state. But at times during his set. You would be dazed .
Mesmerized.
Stunned.
It seemed hard for him at times to stay focused.
Yet, truly one of the greatest players.
Bill Graham loved this guy.
Went out of his way to keep him working but his mental state was difficult to depend on.
God Bless him and May he RIP.
Absolutely amazing. His personality kept him from worldwide fame. If he lived longer, I believe he would have gotten his due.
A real wizard!
Roy was really rooted to the blues in both the traditional and otherwise sense. People who know his music always understand the innovation behind his style. I cant even put in words how gifted he was. He lives on through his music. Long live rock and roll. He really 😅 was one mean ass man
Saw him play back in the 80's. Totally blew my mind as well as my ears lol.
The way this man bends a note, just wow👏👏🔥
I had to pause the video 22 times just to look at his facial expression which never change. He has to be a robot. There's no one in the world that can express themselves or an expression. Without any facial expression, this song is about expression. Enroy gave us none but he made sure we feel and felt it😊
I'm a 69 year old guitar player with all these young people it's called shredding in my day it was called playing fast.
I would've thought you'd at least say "He's got serious chops". Ha. And just to let you know I still say playing fast.. i just might say fast as fuck. Pardon my French.
There's a difference between shredding and playing fast blues. I like Yngwie Malmsteen, Steve Vai, Smashing Pumpkins, but they have nothing on the likes of Roy, or the Vaughan brothers
I would never call Roy a shredder. Shredders play with absolutely no feeling, just the opposite of Roy.
Right. Also called "playing with taste", often without stupid overdrive levels on which shredders always rely.
😎
That's diabolic guitar playing right there! Absolutely mind-blowing.
My man appears as if he’s in deep reflection while literally just wailing on the tele! Absolute fire! 🔥
Real Blues men and serious guitar players know exactly who Roy Buchanan is and respect the hell out of him, his tone, and his mastery of the instrument. As evidenced here by his complete control and manipulation of the volume knob while playing Hendrix. RIP Underrated Legend
That's the first time I have heard anything by Roy Buchanan - Incredible,,,,,!
+Paul Rogers He is something else, my man.
Same here man, I just bought a telecaster and came here to see how it should sound....now I know all I need to
Love the way he just finished kickin the shit out of that Tele and takes a drink......all in a day's work.....legend
Check out the whole concert dvd he even drinks while playing
No one is quite like him. Thanks for posting.
Saw Roy in 78..bday present..American Music Hall..SF..unreal..saw him 6 times after that before he was murdered..RIP FANTASTIQUE
Murdered! I feel the same about that!!
Wow you know it a very special day when you get to experience that brilliance and feel.......well done!
I was lucky to get to see Roy, Lightnin' Hopkins, and Bo Didley at an outdoor concert in NYC during the 70s. They all kicked ass.
Never really heard this guy before but he turns out to be every bit as good as his reputation suggested. Having heard Hendrix phone in versions of this towards the end of his career (as his fans expected him to play it), it's a pleasure to hear this and much more dramatic too.
I heard his tones, and I suddenly had to lie down. Lie down to just enjoy his gorgeous guitar speak!
Clever use of the volume knob. Amazing performance and tone. What a player.
Umm, you're thinking of Beck if you mean while pulling strings. Buchanan was a master in changing tone between riffs.
One of the best guitar riffs I've heard Buchanan play. Right before Foxy lady, the small Hendrix tribute.A great musician who should have been up there with the best. That comes to mind every time I hear him play.
Ah but he is right up there with the best, for those like us who know 😉
I had to come back here to watch this just 1 more time.
Roy was certainly in a league of his own...
The open voiced chords at the start tell you right away this is going to be at another level
Such clarity, every note as a single force. A superb technical craftsman at work.
