when I was 5 years old my do put a pair of earphones my head and said, that's just a guitar making those sounds, I'm 45 now and still waiting to hear a. guitarist to stun me as Roy did. God bless
A guy in one of those chat rooms. A Telecaster forum perhaps. Writes "the thing I hate about Telecaster is once every couple of months I need to tune them" I love it. I just saw a video of Roy here. Down by the River Roy Buchanan a PBS broadcast from 1971. Roy. Who else.
Green Onions - one of those tunes which will still be popular in a 100 years' time, and beyond. Like Kevin Kohlhase's comment - I've never forgotten buying 'Loading Zone' as an LP and wearing this track out because I lifted the stylus off so many times and replaced it to play the track again that I ended up with clicks before it started. A brilliant guitarist. So sad the way he died.
Had the pleasure to see Roy a couple of times in a small blues bar in Cambridge, Mass Called Jonathan Swift's. By far the best guitarist I have ever seen!
I remember seeing him in Columbus with lights down, a purple light shining on him and the swirl of smoke from the cigarette stuck in his guitar-playing Sweet Dreams what a legend
Yeah and if you were in front of Roy live you definitely got a contact high. His playing really worked on your mind and once heard you never forgot him or it.
i saw him play this song a long time ago in Atlanta Ga and he played 2 hours and his playing was great . Saw Alvin Lee also in Atlanta and he great also.
Too bad this guy never broke it out big. I saw him as a back up band for Traffic at the Orpheum in Boston. He was brilliant. Little known, little respected. RIP Roy
I love the look on his face at the end that transmits the message: yes, thanks, I know I am great too. I have seen that on Gary Moore's face a couple of times.
Oh my God!! What's he doing? Being shocked!! Didn't ever expect that someone can play like this! Blues at it's best! The guy is unbelievable! Goin' to buy some of his recordings!
@@andrearitchie6464 He was a country boy who was basically what hendrix was on a strat on a tele. He made it talk. Pulled tones and colours out of it. Even it didnt know it could do. His techniques were light years ahead of his contemporaries. Due to his shy introspective nature. And not really caring for fame and fortune. He wasnt marketable. So was consigned to gigging around the states like a journeyman. When he was essentially one of the top 5 guitarists to ever live. Very bizarre when you think about it. Very bizarre indeed.
@RPG 808 Hendrix was an innovator. There are better technical players than Hendrix ever was. But Hendrix had soul and IMAGINATION. Ive seen countless players who can go all over the fretboard so fast it makes you DIZZY. NOW ASK THEM TO WRITE A SONG THAT NO ONE WILL EVER FORGET. And theyll look at you with a blank stare. Thats the difference between HENDRIX, PAGE, and all the ones we call guitar gods. And a 100 thousand technically briliant players. How many players would trade their fast playing for even TWO of Keith Richards legendary RIFFS?????? Thats what its ALL ABOUT. Imagination trumps technical ability EVERY TIME.
No BS electronic add-ons, just the magic and genius of Roy's fingers torturing the strings until they cry. I've been listening to him since I was 10 in 1976. Luckily turned on to him by my old brother's college roommate. They both drank Jack Daniels with Roy after one show until all of them almost passed out. It was the 70's - being PC didn't exist then. I saw Roy live twice in small venues in Pittsburgh, and I still have a signed T-shirt from one show. He's THE guitar God - f'ing period!
If you think this version is great, listen to the studio version from his "Loading Zone" Album Its incredible! over 8 minutes long and it is the best version of Green Onions on the planet.
Roy spoke well in interviews, articulite, but his playing said the other parts of him, the growling snarls, the taking of the guitar almost apart by playing until at times it seamed as if there wasn't enough to fully get all of what he felt with words after playing everything, the strings behind the nut, everything and yet it all somehow was music. We're not all great singers, etc, but that was Roy, especially towards the end. When he was signed to Alligator I remember to this day when he played a couple songs on one of the sampler's which show cased something from up coming new and others that were already veterans like Roy and other's. When Roy's song came on, it to me scared me because it's sailed like he finally found the trip that was completed from beginning to end, then shortly after he was dead, in a jail cell. Roy I wish for you lasting peace. Alex
@karennorwegian I saw Roy twice+got to meet him and the band at the Electric Ballroom in Dallas. Nice dude We hung out and had a few beers. He liked his beer. I agree w/many that he was one of the best ever. His albums don't do him a justice as seeing him LIVE. The unbelievable things he could do with a tele making it cry like a pedal steel to just beatin' the hell out of it, to doing enviable runs with just his left hand. Jeff Beck says Roy is the best ever. period. That's huge. RIP
Its very sad the way he died. The beatles and, the rolling stones both wanted him to play lead guitar for them o,r maybe just record some with them but, Roy I guess was very proud and, said no and, just wanted to do his own thing I guess. He was not my favorite blues guitarist but, Roy by all means had his own style, he was into making all those sounds and, he could run when he wanted to. So sad he ended up how he did. I have about 2 or 3 of his albums. Bless his heart.
Yes but Steve Cropper has written : "Sitting on the dock of the bay" With Otis Redding "In the midnight hour" With Wilson Pickett "Soul man" For Sam and Dave "Knock on wood" For Eddy Floyd 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸 🌠🌠 ....
@@julienravier9875 IDk that.No argument from me - Steve's one of the greats even without all those songwriting credits! Btw, if you like all those songs from Stax artists Netflix is suppose to be producing a docu. about Stax "Soulsville USA" I'm looking forward to it.
Jeff Beck has covered "A day in the life" of the Beatles so well.... One of the best cover ever ..... Jeff Beck is the one of the best guitarist of all time and sometimes he's the Best .... 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸 But the Beatles stay the Beatles...
Art is not a competition .... It's creation .... and feeling .... The best peace of literature of all time is "King Lear" of William Shakespeare.... Akira Kurosawa has done an adaptation of this play.... called "Ran" one of the best movies of all time..... Orson Wells the genius has made a superb adaptation of "Macbeth" and Akira Kurosawa also.... The two movies are great.... Nobody can say these great movies are better than the Shakespeare plays.....
I am so lucky to have been turned on to this guy in the seventies I love love love Roy Buchanan guitar he died of suicide Virginia Leesburg jail s*** hole after being arrested for a DWI how Second Son what a guitar master god with such humble credible voice and style Charisma that will never be ever ever asked by anybody anywhere ever God bless will be coming along with his guitar
Roy was 1 of the greatest blues guitarists ever. A magician on the guitar.
I saw Roy Buchanan in 1976. I am a better person for having seen him. God Bless you, Roy Buchanan. RIP.
Lucky⭐️
Wish I could say I saw him.
One of the most underrated guitarists
Junto a Danny Gatton.Greg Boardman
ah, No. Go elsewhere with your "under-rated". His magic is beloved and eternal.
Yeah, he's not "Underrated " at all ,he's one of the greatest guitar players of all time!
Don't like term "underrated".
Not to those that dig him.
Well, rate his guitar work!!!
You cant imitate him, or duplicate him. Roy was one of a kind.
Roy Buchanan....the mad scientist of the guitar....we all sure miss your genius Roy....😏😏😏
No pedals.
No whammy bar.
Just perfect string control . . .
El mejor de todos los tiempos Roy!! Fantástico
@@gilbertobuitrago3090 Si!
I saw him at the Capital Theatre in Passaic, New Jersey with Dickey Betts and Johnny Winter. Man, That was the night of the guitars!
when I was 5 years old my do put a pair of earphones my head and said, that's just a guitar making those sounds, I'm 45 now and still waiting to hear a. guitarist to stun me as Roy did. God bless

when I was a teenager a good friend turned me on to roy. been hooked since.
A Legend. A Thousand Billions of Breaths of Legend. Love You Giant.
RIP Roy....you were amazing! I got the chance to see him live in a club.....incredible!
saw roy in dallas in 82 i think....wow...second best texas guitarist of all time...and thats saying something lol
Green Onions - one of those tunes which will still be popular in a 100 years' time, and beyond. Like Kevin Kohlhase's comment - I've never forgotten buying 'Loading Zone' as an LP and wearing this track out because I lifted the stylus off so many times and replaced it to play the track again that I ended up with clicks before it started. A brilliant guitarist. So sad the way he died.
Roy really knew how to make a guitar sing! Outstanding performance.
The best version ever, I remember buying Loading Zone and hearing this for the first time.
Maybe not the best=>sweet dreams :the anthology
Remains one of my favourite albums - which I still have on LP.
Roy the boy buchanan love him awesome guitarist R.I.P roy buchanan.
I could never forget this quitarist... try to listen and Roy's Blues.. is magnific!!!
I think Roy is squeezin and wringing that neck like crazy. Jeff Beck loved his playing, that's more than enough for me. RIP Roy.
Had the pleasure to see Roy a couple of times in a small blues bar in Cambridge, Mass Called Jonathan Swift's. By far the best guitarist I have ever seen!
I remember seeing him in Columbus with lights down, a purple light shining on him and the swirl of smoke from the cigarette stuck in his guitar-playing Sweet Dreams what a legend
No whammy bar no effects pedals. Its all in the hands. One of the greatest telecaster players to ever plug in.
Master of the Telecaster!
The best of all time, and I have seen them all......jawdropping performances.......
ROCK on Mr.ROY BUCHANAN!!! R.I.P.
The first time I heard Roy B. was on a TV special. And then my brother took me to hear Roy play live in Manhattan at Carnegie Hall. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Don't know why but his studio albums never did him justice. Once I saw him live, I was blown away. One of the all time greats..
It’s a different beast to record in a studio
What an avalanche of good guitar vibes
Terrific, he makes it cry.
To me one of the best version ever, an eargasm......
RB was one of the best.Saw him once late 70's gone way to early. John Hicksville NY:)-
Saw Roy when he was with Dale Hawkins band in Toronto late 1960's,
enjoyed it much!
+Olivia Crockett great time for him that's when he found his sound
Definitely the master of the Telecaster........
Thanks for posting these RB videos. This is fantastic. The only guitarist I'd like to hear play this other than Steve Cropper is Roy Buchanan.
Yeah and if you were in front of Roy live you definitely got a contact high. His playing really worked on your mind and once heard you never forgot him or it.
Couldn't say it better. Myself. When Roy felt,. Their was no one better. Alex.
i saw him play this song a long time ago in Atlanta Ga and he played 2 hours and his playing was great . Saw Alvin Lee also in Atlanta and he great also.
Too bad this guy never broke it out big. I saw him as a back up band for Traffic at the Orpheum in Boston. He was brilliant.
Little known, little respected.
RIP Roy
I think Roys version of G.O. is the best, fantastic
Terrific Tele Twankin'! Thank you for letting us post our Tribute To Roy Buchanan Concert version of GREEN ONIONS!
I love the look on his face at the end that transmits the message: yes, thanks, I know I am great too. I have seen that on Gary Moore's face a couple of times.
Le grand légendaire Roy Buchanan un parcours typique dans le bon vieux temps du rock'n'roll !
Один из сильнейших гитаристов блюза и рока
Roy Buchanan AKA the Master of the Telecaster.

Very bizarre when you think about it. Very bizarre indeed.
This is real blues!! It might look easy as backing track but creating the spirit and magic is possible only by a few of people
Pinch harmonics. All in his fingers. He was amazing to see live. Ears rang for 3 days afterwards. Amazing blues guitarist.
R.I.P. Roy Buchanan. Best guitarist that ever lived.
+Ruebene James hes my favorite. every guitar player needs a style and more importantly a sound. Stever had both
+Steven Farago someone comented that no one could copy him,one of a kind. I agree. its all in his sound

He was soooooooooooo good.

Завидую тебе, старина!
The master of the Telecaster!
If you think this version is great, listen to the studio version from his "Loading Zone" Album
Its incredible! over 8 minutes long and it is the best version of Green Onions on the planet.
that moment of perfection.
LOADING ZONE ! EXCELLENT
Beast version of Green Onions I've heard.
Roy was gifted guitarist whom I love to listen to
from time to time - a true evergreen
I did not know you could do that with a guitar. Beautiful.
Roy spoke well in interviews, articulite, but his playing said the other parts of him, the growling snarls, the taking of the guitar almost apart by playing until at times it seamed as if there wasn't enough to fully get all of what he felt with words after playing everything, the strings behind the nut, everything and yet it all somehow was music.

Terry Kath had similar style. Both unbelievable.

With Wilson Pickett
"Soul man"
For Sam and Dave
"Knock on wood"
For Eddy Floyd

Es fantástico ❤🎶🎵🎵🎵🎶🎶🎶🎶
They rhythm section sounds like it's about to break into "Tainted Love" at any second.
The distortion makes his guitar sould like a penny whistle at times. I wish I could make my penny whistle sound like his flute too.
Sublim Steeve coopérative et roy thé good I am French Paris roy remember àjamais fender Télecaster
He makes that Tele CRY.
I saw him play in Carnegie Hall.
