The greatest blues guitarist nobody has ever heard of... so glad I heard of him 40 years ago. 😊

I was in high school in the 70s. Me and my pals were heavily into blues music. We were fortunate enough to see this great man in a pretty small venue. It was super awesome. I still recall light reflecting off his tele onto my face. Great memories.

I've seen some of the greats. Clapton, Page, Beck, Alvin Lee, Johnny Winter, Robin Trower, SRV, Duane Allman & many others. Roy blew me away at a small club in NOLA years ago. He's in my top 5 for sure though I've never seen Hendrix, Terry Kath, Roy Galleger, Peter Green & Gary Morre.

Did you notice no pedals, effects, massive electronics? Just pure manipulation of his instrument to its fullest capabilities! A true virtuoso!

Roy Buchanan claims to have inherited everything from gospel music... He made his professional debut at the age of 15 in Johnny Otis's group. Around 1960, he joined singer Ronnie Hawkins' group in Canada, whose members would later form The Band. After this brief experience, he began to develop his very personal blues, often featuring cascades of high-pitched chords, and in which he makes his Fender Telecaster "cry".There is a documentary,about him entitled "The Best Unknown Guitarist In The World"!!!! Thank you !!!!

No Pedals Roy was a special player and way under rated to the point of not even being talked about Check out his version of Hey Joe , He was a unique player

Another great contemporary of Roy's is Michael Bloomfield who played Chicago blues. Check out Super Sessions with Al Cooper, recorded after they finished recording with Dylan (Highway 61 and Bringing it All Back Home.) Absolutely Iconic .

He was amazing. I missed him when he came here a couple of years before his death. Got a feeling he wasn't that happy most of the time.

YOU COULD SEE HIM IN SMALL CLUBS IN LA

@larryhelmeczy4320 8 ай бұрын

Glad you were able to hear him. I still have his great self titled album from the early 1970's. Supposedly the Rolling Stones asked him join the band but he declined. Unfortunately alcohol abuse took him from us before his time. I hadn't seen this video before so thanks for sharing.

@nancyfranchetto938 8 ай бұрын

From what I understand, he was found dead in a jail cell with bruises on his head.

@larryhelmeczy4320 8 ай бұрын

Yeah, I was curious how he passed. According to whomever wrote Wikipedia, he was in jail because of public intoxication and then later found hanging. Police determined it to be suicide but his family disputed the claim. So I was incorrect in saying he directly died due to alcohol abuse. @@nancyfranchetto938

There is a video of Roy covering Neil Young’s: Down By The River I know you love that song might be the next obvious choice

From Wikipedia: Buchanan taught himself various playing techniques, including "chicken picking". He sometimes used his thumb nail rather than a plectrum, and also employed it to augment his index finger and pick. Holding the pick between his thumb and forefinger, Buchanan also plucked the string and simultaneously touched it lightly with the lower edge of his thumb at one of the harmonic nodes, thus suppressing lower overtones and emphasising the harmonic, sometimes referred to as pinch harmonics, though Buchanan called it an "overtone." Buchanan could play harmonics at will, and could mute individual strings with free right-hand fingers while picking or pinching others. He was famous as well for his oblique bends.

Rory, Roy is the greatest guitarist you've never heard of. He was around when Hendrix came out. He never made it big professionally or financially but it wasn't due to a lack of talent. He used to play with Delbert McClinton. He was never known as a great singer, but he could play that guitar. He had his issues with alcoholism and hung himself in the Fairfax County, VA. jail after a public intoxication arrest in 1988 at the age of 48. He also played with Ronnie Hawkins and the Hawks and a Canadian band that later became The Band.

From Wikipedia: In 1958, Buchanan made his recording debut with Chicago's Chess Records at age 19, accompanying Dale Hawkins by playing the solo on "My Babe. Two years later, during a tour through Toronto, Buchanan left Dale Hawkins to play for Hawkins's cousin Ronnie Hawkins and tutor Ronnie's guitar player, Robbie Robertson. Buchanan plays bass on the Ronnie Hawkins single "Who Do You Love?".[8] Buchanan soon returned to the United States, and members of the Ronnie Hawkins' group later gained fame as the roots rock group the Band. At the end of the 1960s, with a growing family, Buchanan left the music industry to learn a trade and trained as a barber. Buchanan's life changed in 1971, when he gained national notice as the result of an hour-long PBS television documentary. Entitled Introducing Roy Buchanan, and sometimes mistakenly called The Best Unknown Guitarist in the World, it earned a record deal with Polydor Records and praise from John Lennon and Merle Haggard, besides an alleged invitation to join the Rolling Stones which he turned down and which gave him the nickname "the man who turned the Stones down". Buchanan quit recording in 1981, vowing never to enter a studio again unless he could record his own music his own way. According to his agent and others, Buchanan was doing well, having gained control of his drinking habit and playing again, when he was arrested for public intoxication after a domestic dispute.[2][6] He was found hanged from his own shirt in a jail cell on August 14, 1988, in the Fairfax County, Virginia, Jail. According to Thomas Hartman, who was in a cell near Buchanan's, the deputy sheriff opened the door early in the morning and found Buchanan with the shirt around his neck.[9][17] His cause of death was officially recorded as suicide, a finding disputed by Buchanan's friends and family. One of his friends, Marc Fisher, reported seeing Roy's body with bruises on the head. Buchanan played the Telecaster through a Fender Vibrolux amplifier with the volume and tone "full out," and used the guitar's volume and tone controls to control volume and sound[23] (he achieved a wah wah effect using the tone control).[6][20] To achieve his desired distorted sounds, Buchanan at one point used a razor blade to slit the paper cones of the speakers in his amp, an approach also employed by the Kinks' Dave Davies and others.

My favourite lyrics are “if I go to hell…I’m going to speak very highly of you”.
