Roy Buchanan - Blues Shuffle (Instrumental)

Comments on 'Roy Buchanan - Blues Shuffle (Instrumental)'

1. A guitar playing buddy and I stopped at a Philadelphia bar
   once to grab a beer. Roy was playing. We ended up following
   this legend on the 'chicken circuit' for the next 5 weeks
   just to watch and hear him. It felt like a beloved relative
   had died when he passed away. He will always be missed by
   this old mediocre guitar player.
2. Roys "Second Album" to this day remains one of the all-time
   great blues albums ever..His playing on that is
   incredible...No effects, not too much reverb,just a pure
   natural sound..A classic for blues players,imo..
3. Well , I must say, blues is music of all people in the world
   .... Big hello to all people in the world who live with
   this kind of music ... :)))
4. Walter Trout is good,Roy Buchanan is Inacreditable!!!!!
5. i love old roy blues...and i love reaching back to watch
   older players... but i have now turned on to where guitar is
   instead of where it was. Greg Howe, Guthrie Govan and some
   other players today have taken it to the next level.
6. B3... Walter is indeed a master, no doubt. And I love the
   stuff he does, listen to him a lot and he puts on a killer
   show. But I will bet you even up that Walter is not gonna
   compare himself to Roy. Roy just had so many tools in his
   blues workbench that nobody else had or figured out how to
   acquire. But Walter is a monster bluesman! Whoever you like,
   the main things is just livin the blues and respecting the
   tradition! A whole lot of people don't understand what the
   blues are about. -Z- -dw-
7. Walter Trout is the living master . Check him out!
8. If you like this guy check out The one and only Walter Trout
9. its in the mind finally...
10. Claiming a particular guitarist is the greatest ever is
    obviously a personal thing, but to me Roy Buchanan was
    unmatched by anybody else. If somebody else comes along that
    can move people emotionally more than Roy did I will travel
    as far as I have to to see them doing it. His gigs were
    often attended by other guitarists who basically stood in
    awe watching him tear that Tele to pieces, of course this
    was in between making it cry and whisper sweetly. God Bless
    you Roy, and thanks!
11. Roy was like Stevie Ray, he never ran out of licks. It was
    like a channel that just ran through him. Never saw SRV or
    Roy freeze up with that,"what do I play next look". Clapton
    does it all the time, or EC will just play some crap cause
    he isn't "feeling" it. Roy and SRV, only 2 players I've
    seen, play all night, you never get bored. AMAZING...
12. Dude....very astute observations coming from a non-player!
    Even a lot of guitar wannabes dont' realize it's "in the
    fingers"... Roy would sound like Roy no matter what guitar
    was in his hands. Guitar players are a finicky bunch with
    very sensitive ears. Each has his own pet tone he likes,
    and certain guitars deliver and others don't. A good guitar
    has many qualities cheap ones don't have. BUT,a great guitar
    player sounds great on a cheap guitar and a lousy guitar
    player sounds lousy always!:)
13. Roy was definitely one of the least appreciated guitarists
    of all time....I feel lucky to have seen him play in
    college. He has such a unique sound....I agree it's more
    his playing than the guitar. That given, and as I don't
    play the guitar, what makes the telecaster such a better
    blues guitar than the strat (in my opinion)?
14. wonderful
15. That and the Bill Lawrence Black Label pickups he has in
    them...
16. Problem is, your tele won't sound like THAT. The tone your
    drooling over is from his fingers. Bill
17. THANKS ROY, I'm going out and gettin' me a Telecaster! Never
    owned one before. You know the folks at Gibson Guitars
    ridiculed this instrument when it first came out? They
    stopped laughing when it outsold everything they came out
    with.
18. Thank You My Friend!! Totally agree!! Loss for words here...
    You said it!!!!
19. Thank You My Friend!! Totally agree!! Loss for words here...
    You said it!!!!
20. Thank You My Friend!! Totally agree!! Loss for words here...
    You said it!!!!
21. I don't think I would make that statement SirCallahan17.
    Gatton was influenced by Roy but I wouldn't say that Roy was
    his "teacher" by any stretch of the imagination!
22. its so hard to keep up with him mentally, and feeling every
    note when hes on a role, its too big of a release from his
    soul for me too fully understand it, and im totally blown
    away everytime i hear him. The rythm shuffle was well done,
    tempo was spot on... to the brink then realese. RIP roy
23. There was something dark & spooky about Roy. He always
    seemed like a man living close to the edg. A
    humble,spiritual guy who was constantly fighting demons..and
    it came out in his music. Like him, his music had a duality
    to it. Nobody sounds like him. Spears ones heart with just
    one note.
24. Roy Buchanan was Danny Gatton's guitar teacher
25. DANNY GATTON. YES. Roy and Danny. It makes me proud to be
    a guitarist from Maryland.
