Roy Buchanan

[Platypus]

This is a player who rarely gets any attention outside the hardcore guitar player world but I wanted to share with you two videos that just recently came back to youtube. They were pulled for awhile for some reason.

From the 76 Austin City Limits show:

I'll let this video speak for itself.. absolutely genius... I think you have to play guitar to understand the complexity of some of this but even nonplayers will still be in awe.

And here's a cover of Hey Joe from the same show:

Equally as powerful.. the actual verses aren't what you're watching for, watch him tear the fuck out of that telecaster.

Anyway, hope you guys enjoy the genius that was Roy and his guitar Nancy

That's a matter of personal taste, I don't think Collins has anything on Roy's tone and feeling.
