Original link: • Roy Buchanan - Hey Joe...
i saw Roy in a small bar many yrs ago and in the middle of the set he stopped and said this song is dedicated to the greatest electric guitar player and he launched into Hey Joe..i was standing right in front of him that night and walked out of the bar numb and speechless..
I can only imagine. I heard about him only after his passing, I'm jealous.
Saw Roy twice live, what a great player, a virtuoso.
Great analogy for the guy's guitar work, the man watering his garden.
Roy had such amazing tone
Great guitarist, without a doubt. Thanks, Glenn and Adrian.
Roy Buchanan was a great guitarist. As we can see here.
The Master of the Telecaster
Me faltaba dejar el comentario. Momento músical impresionante, ustedes lo han expresado muy bien. Creo que debería buscar la traducción de esta letra. Thanks Glenn and Adrian! Sigan compartiendo buena música!
Sometimes you know from the first few notes whether or not someone can play, and Roy finds that tonal sweer spot very quickly. He must be using very light strings. He reminds me of Richard Thompson or Jeff Beck with his ability to pull notes out of the air. Danny Gatton is another great Tele player who flies under the radar.
I think you're right about his using very light strings. Interestingly enough, Danny Gatton is also from this metro area of DC. Roy settled here.
To bad nobody talks about Roy's backing band. This was before musicians wears Innears, have an computer for click tracks & such. His band has to keep on their toes just in case Roy wants to go somewhere else. Roy's band reminds me of Stevie Ray Vaughan's backup band Double Trouble. They were so good they made Stevie play better.
Deep Purple did a cover of *"Hey Joe"* with original singer Rod Evans & bassist Nick Simper from 1969. Not as good as Roy or Jimi's. Still worth a look.
So were the musicians better back then? When there were no click tracks and other aids to help them ? I am curious.
If you are interested in rock covers performed in a different way, try The Wolfgang Twins with the Harp Sisters for an instrumental version of Rolling Stones' Paint it Black ua-cam.com/video/SjjtDFqsb-A/v-deo.html
If you two ever review older classic one-hit-wonder videos, the following two songs are great examples of "80s vintage rock.
"It's my Life" by Talk Talk ua-cam.com/video/ERimiTA_tW4/v-deo.html
"Driver's Seat" by Sniff 'n' The Tears ua-cam.com/video/9SCzVEUlqqA/v-deo.html
Thanks! We've seen Talk Talk "Life's What You Make It" here ua-cam.com/video/nqjL96zIGhc/v-deo.html
@@glennandadriansrocktalk Thanks, you may enjoy the earlier Talk Talk video (1984) I referenced
It's a totally different song "It's my Life"
Got into Roy for a while, but a lot of technique and noises, not much musicality in his playing and he rarely sings, so a lot of him showing off. It gets tiresome unless you're a guitar geek. He didn't get famous because his playing never had mass appeal. That, and he deliberately sabotaged his own career time after time, to stay in small clubs.
He wasn’t a fan of the spotlight, it would seem. I feel the way you described Roy’s playing about Derek Trucks.
