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.

Well, rate his guitar work!!!

Roy really knew how to make a guitar sing! Outstanding performance.

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

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..

RIP Roy....you were amazing! I got the chance to see him live in a club.....incredible!

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!

What an avalanche of good guitar vibes

The best version ever, I remember buying Loading Zone and hearing this for the first time.

Remains one of my favourite albums - which I still have on LP.

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.

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.

Master of the Telecaster!

saw roy in dallas in 82 i think....wow...second best texas guitarist of all time...and thats saying something lol

I could never forget this quitarist... try to listen and Roy's Blues.. is magnific!!!

Roy the boy buchanan love him awesome guitarist R.I.P roy buchanan.

To me one of the best version ever, an eargasm......

Saw Roy when he was with Dale Hawkins band in Toronto late 1960's, enjoyed it much!

The best of all time, and I have seen them all......jawdropping performances.......

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.

ROCK on Mr.ROY BUCHANAN!!! R.I.P.

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.

Terrific, he makes it cry.

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.

that moment of perfection.

Один из сильнейших гитаристов блюза и рока

Makes me knees wobble. So great

RB was one of the best.Saw him once late 70's gone way to early. John Hicksville NY:)-

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.

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

Definitely the master of the Telecaster........

Terrific Tele Twankin'! Thank you for letting us post our Tribute To Roy Buchanan Concert version of GREEN ONIONS!

He was soooooooooooo good.

The GOAT! Look him up and keep listening

Roy Buchanan AKA 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.

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!

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.

Exelente version del maestro Roy Buchanan

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

No whammy bar no effects pedals. Its all in the hands. One of the greatest telecaster players to ever plug in.

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. 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

I think Roys version of G.O. is the best, fantastic

Terry Kath had similar style. Both unbelievable.

Im glad i seen him live in Adelaide at the tiverly

Gotta love this one!

Rock In Peace Roy

@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!

Nice:))))))Sweet Vibe!!!!!

@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

A blues master..

*© 1985*

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.

With all due respect to Mr. Steve Cropper, Roy just takes this to the next level!
