roy buchanan - live - blues

Roy Buchanan - 70's tv show.

[@peterbartolomeo9574]

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.

[@RussellColtrane]

well said sir ! well said

[@johnamaral1786]

Uh, he was the GOAT then. /:-)

[@michaelorleans5396]

Saw Roy many times..first in 78...Last time in 85..RIP

[@debraray6698]

He is the only one that sends shivers down my spine 😢😮😮❤❤❤ it's tragic how he died

[@garycoderre4344]

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

Calm on the surface, this man is a volcano inside!

[@longbow2112]

I’m just now discovering him. Completely awesome.

[@henryVIIIification]

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.

[@nealaveritt3091]

The greatest unknown guitar player of them all

[@theherbpuffer]

Nah I'd say Rory Gallagher. That man truly needs to be consistently considered the greatest ever, taking Hendrix's place.

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 ...

[@quarrydawg]

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.

[@michaelkoerts4006]

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

[@davidsavage8333]

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.

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.

does the song have a name or is just part of the great infamy that is buchanan

[@leeinoregon1326]

Jacob Coyle it's called "Roys Blues"

[@ChrisJimenez2010]

can someone tell me how he got those sounds?

[@rdkg2]

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.

[@pleximanic]

By being Roy Buchanan!

[@rdkg2]

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.

[@ghs2004]

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.

[@gerardhaubert8210]

He uses PFM........pure fuc.... magic!

[@wallace57]

OK you got me lol what key should he be playing in??? mark raz dude you are embarrassing your self!! lol

[@williamaustinsr7475]

He's one bad mother

[@AvaPxiaO]

@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.

[@jimnagel5611]

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

[@carlosstinechez5338]

chicken pickin

[@faridofit]

This is the guy that play more creative than Jeff Beck and more technical beast than Eric Johnson.

[@theherbpuffer]

And then there's Rory Gallagher

[@markraz3761]

his vocals are in a different key than the music so bad

[@zeroceiling]

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...

[@rdkg2]

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.

[@theherbpuffer]

I'd say Rory Gallagher with his strat is a better comparison because neither Roy or Rory needed pedals unlike Hendrix.

[@donbrown8990]

roys ok....no where near a stevie ray though.....come on....
